  Copy a layer’s keyframes, but later in time.

  Posted by Navarro Parker on August 3, 2012 at 9:58 pm

  I have one layer X that’s 30 frames long. I have several parameters keyframed.

  I have another layer Y that’s the same length, but later in the timeline. I want it to copy the same animation. But Pickwhipping doesn’t respect Layer Y’s location in the timeline. It only copies values at the same time as the original.

  Is there a way to for Layer Y to take into consideration its position in timeline so the pickwhipped value is offset in time by the right amount?

  Something like this probably:

  L = thisComp.layer(“X”);
  t = time – (inPoint-L.inPoint);
  L.transform.position.valueAtTime(t);
