    Hi All.

    I’ve got a Eps logo which is a word.
    I’ve precomped it and duplicated 10 times (it has 10 characters).
    I’ve masked each individual letter in each comp, so I have the characters all separated.

    I’ve animated my Leader which is my first pre comp layer, which does a basic movement on the y Axis.
    Now I want the others to follow, incrementing a step at the time. Cascade effect.

    Follow Y position (keep X and Z – In this case is the same as my pre comp has the same anchor and position) and delay it by 0.16 (4frames on a 25fps comp).

    How can I achieve this?

    I was trying to do it but I’m not even close I guess.

    transform.position[0];
    thisComp.layer(index-1).transform.yPosition;
    transform.position[1];

    delay= thisComp.layer(index+1). delayFrames*.16;
    leader= thisComp.layer(“P-leader”);

    Thanks
    Joao Monteiro
