How do I modify several layers at the same time?

Hi, I´m new to TVP

Is there a way to move, scale and rotate the content (or some of the content) of several layers at the same time?
I have my pencil line in one layer, the color in one layer and the shadow in one layer. I know I can use the transformation tool and apply the setting of it to other layers but it will not place the layer correctly if the centerpoints of the layers are not the same.... or ??
I really hope this is easy to do like drawing a selection around something and moving all of it at the same time in Photoshop.

Hope someone can help me.

Thanks
Kasper

Have a look on this video tutorial ;-)

-Or just, use the "Transform tool" :
-Move your layer
-apply
-go on another layer
-and apply again =)

when using the transform tool, you can also only move a selection. (and apply the transformation on other layers)

Yes thats what I have been trying but the transform tool places the layers a bit wrong because the size and centerpoint of the layers are not the same!

It's a bug, It will be fixed on the next update.

afaik, if the whole layer, the KeyFramer is the way to go,
(if part only of the animlayer, separate it on it's own layer in a first step),
set the move/scale/rotate on the lines layer, then apply it on each layer one after the other,
(a MultiApply_FX script written by Lemec in the Mirage days would do the job
in one click I think, but I can't tell you now if it's still working with TVPA v8.x and up,
and if it's still available and where ...? )
