Hi everyone, am looking for a parenting solution while animating
So let’s say I have a colouring layer, and another layer with aditionnal lines
I want the colouring layer to be like the master one, so when I move it, all the child would follow him.
I tried with a folder, but was a very weird solution, because it’s like the folder memorize the first frame position, and it’s just crazy to animate with that (i hope you see what i mean cause it’s so confusing to explain)
So I deleted the folder, and tried to select both layers and move them, but only one layer moves 
When you say ‘folder’, I assume you mean that you Grouped the layers. (It does look like a folder icon and is similar in principle.)
You can only perform paint/move etc operations on one frame at a time (the selected frame-n) and if animated layers are grouped then this works across all the layers in the group, but only on the selected frame-n.
There is a way to move all the frames of all the layers in a group and that is to apply a Transform Mask to the group layer and do a Free Transform - Position tranform with it. This will affect every frame of every layer in the group but will also affect any future frames that you try to draw, which is very confusing when you draw.
As a one-off move, it works. You can consolidate it (or ‘bake it in’) by duplicating the transform mask, as needed, to place the same transform mask on every individual layer (but not the group layer) and then doing a Flatten Layer on each layer.
As a one-off move of an entire animation, this does work but often creates artifacts that can only be removed by erasing them so it’s only worth doing if you’re desperate to move lots of frames at the same time.
Thanks for you answer !
I didn’t understand everything, it seems to be very confusing anyway
Am so desapointed that there’s no type of parenting option
like animate or after effect, you just have to drag one layer to another…
I’ve had a another look at this and there is a way of doing it but it’s a bit crude.
You Resize the canvas to make it larger, and so create extra space around it and you then Resize it again, back to the original size but place the target size box outline to where you want it, so the content is offset/moved.
Krita isn’t specifically animating software and it doesn’t have all the facilities that those types of application have.
Yes I see, it’s a pretty cool software anyway but it’s a shame for that little things
thanks for your help!
would it not be cool there be empty objects to do that?
it would allow lots of more features for animation and parenting objects hence forth.
