what is it?

Pointers allows you to snap any layer (or any spatial property) to the position of another layer. It does not matter if it is 3D, 2D or parented. Pointers essentially does all the complicated math for you.

It's super easy to use! Just select a layer or any spatial property and choose another layer to be followed. That's all you need to do.

additional features

Pointers also gives you controls for keyframable delay and offset. It lets you parent rotation and scale separate from position. You can point lights or cameras to layers with a few clicks. 2D Effects can follow 3D layers and much more.

Pointers can help you out in many ways! Save time, keyframes, and your nerves;)
