Body: <p>I have made simple animation where a hand drags an item onto a page.  I wanted them to take a curved path so I have added a bezier curve to the path as shown below</p>
  
  <p><a href="https://i.sstatic.net/eUpoT.png" rel="nofollow noreferrer"><img src="https://i.sstatic.net/eUpoT.png" alt="enter image description here"></a></p>
  
  <p>This only effects one of the layers so I manually put the same curve into the second layer but it is not perfect.  I can see the hand and the contact us box move slightly differently.</p>
  
  <p>How do I lock both layers on the exact same path?</p>

  I have made simple animation where a hand drags an item onto a page. I wanted them to take a curved path so I have added a bezier curve to the path as shown below
  
  [![enter image description here](https://i.sstatic.net/eUpoT.png)](https://i.sstatic.net/eUpoT.png)
  
  This only effects one of the layers so I manually put the same curve into the second layer but it is not perfect. I can see the hand and the contact us box move slightly differently.
  
  How do I lock both layers on the exact same path?

  You could Parent one layer to the other.
  
  This means that one layer controls the position/rotation/scale of the other layer.
