  Motion help! Layers get the position one by one!

  Posted by John Kevien on May 1, 2008 at 6:44 am

  the formula seems to be easy.Just about the distance , speed and time.

  And my scene is : there is a column of layers that at the same place and then I want them to moving to another same place,assuming layer1 get first and then layer2,layer3,just both of them moving in x axis.

  thanks in advance !!

  An expression like this applied to the position properties of layers 2 thru n should get you started:

  delay = 0.1;
  leader = thisComp.layer(1);
  x = leader.position.valueAtTime(time – (index-1)*delay)[0];
  [x, value[1]]
