expressions help
Hey all,
I’m trying to set up an expression where one layer follows the position and opacity of the layer below it, and is offset in time. So basically the layers are sequenced, but the position and opacity are controlled from one layer. I can’t just sequence the layers because I am doing it with footage, and can’t offset the runtime.
Thanks for any help.

Hi!
Try applying this little expression to the position-parameter:
d=0.5;// This is the offset-time in seconds
thisComp.layer(2).position.valueAtTime(time-d)And this to the opacity:
d=2;// This is the offset-time in seconds
thisComp.layer(2).opacity.valueAtTime(time-d)These expressions assume that you have at least two layers in your comp. The “master” layer is the second layer (#2). This is the one you keyframe. If you need to change the reference just edit the “2” in “thisComp.layer(2)….” to the index of your choice.
Hope this helps!
Good luck!
Cheers!
