Linking layers in the timeline

Check Dan’s website (motionscript.com). It contains a large number of techniques how to approach this in the “follow the leader” section.

Thanks…..but just can’t seem to locate the “follow the leader” section you refer to. Can you post a direct link?

Came up with a scheme which works. It does not actually visably slide the layer, but it does delay the layer in time.

I added ‘time remap’ to the layers I wanted to slip, and then added the following expression to the time remap properties:

transition=thisComp.marker(1); // using marker 1 in comp to determinine transition
time-transition;

So now I just slide the marker and the movies begin at that point. It does not reflect any of the values in the time remap keyframes themselves.

Thanks
