  • Animate many layers from inpoint of each layer based on keyframes of one null

    Hi! I am wondering if this is possible to do. I have a null object that I have animated on position and opacity. Is it possible to have other text layers with inpoints at different times linked to that null but have the animation from the null start at the beginning of each text layer’s inpoint? What I want to achieve is the same animation on each text layer but not have to put keyframes on each layer. That way I can tweak the easing and timing on all the text layers by only adjusting the keyframes on the null.

    Something like this maybe:

    L = thisComp.layer("Null 1");

    p = L.transform.position;

    d = p.valueAtTime(time-inPoint) - p.valueAtTime(L.inPoint);

    value + d
