Hierarchical parenting is an additional feature in the video editing software Alightmotion. The hierarchical parent system allows layers to inherit all attributes of their parent and provide an extension.
The hierarchical parents’ tool was conceptualized as a way to make it easier for editing as well as production and post-production teams to organize various parts of their projects effectively.
The Hierarchical Parenting tool ties together disparate pieces of motion graphics and is the most important tool in video editing.
