  How to paste keyframes into multiple groups in shape layer , staggered?

  Posted by Katy Yeung on November 10, 2020 at 2:43 pm

  Hi,

  I have 36 groups in shape layer and I want to keyframe position. How can I past the position keyframes into the groups so they are staggers in time? Is it possible? Is there an expression I can use? though I don’t know much about expressions.

  Thanks

  Take a look at @danebberts expression for creating trails. You’d pickwhip to one of your shape’s position properties, instead of the layer:

  delay = 5; //number of frames to delay
  
  d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index - 1);
  thisComp.layer(1).position.valueAtTime(time - d)
