  Delay Shape layer scale repeater (moved)

  Posted by Christophe Bastier on February 21, 2013 at 10:01 pm

  Hi,
  Sorry but I’ve posted the first time in the wrong forum.

  I want to animate the scale parameter of the repeater effect and delay it on several shapes.
  I’ve tried with this expression using 2 expressions sliders (effet and delai) but without success
  I’ve searched through the web but didn’t find anything about it and I’m wondering if it’s even possible

  Any clue ?

  thisIndex=thisProperty.propertyGroup(3).propertyIndex;
effet=effect("repetition echelle")("Curseur");
delai=effect("delai")("Curseur")*thisComp.frameDuration*(thisIndex - 1);
[effet.valueAtTime(time - d),effet.valueAtTime(time - delai)]

  If what you’re trying to do is manipulate each repeater instance individually, I think that would require some sort of repeaterIndex attribute that would work like textIndex does in text layer expression selectors. That would be cool, but as far as I know, nothing like that is available.

  Thanks Dan !
  Yeah that’s what I thought, I haven’t try with other shape layers effect (twist, etc…) but I guess it’s the same thing : there’s no index for that kind of parameters. Maybe in CS7. That would be cool indeed 🙂
