Mask opacity offset
Hello everyone
I am trying to offset the opacity of a large amount of masks. I would like each mask to look at the previous one for opacity value and turn on. this is how far i gotmask(“Mask 217”).maskOpacity.valueAtTime(time-0.1)
it does what i want it to, except i have to manually pick whip each mask opacity to the previous one for this to work properly (and i have 217 masks). My question is, is there a way to change the expression so that it automatically looks at the previous mask value, and that I can paste it to all the masks at once?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Here you go Jacques:
mask(propertyGroup(1).propertyIndex -1).maskOpacity.valueAtTime(time-0.1)

by the way, if you are doing (time-0.1) because you are wanting to look at the previous frame, this is a more accurate way to do it:
mask(propertyGroup(1).propertyIndex -1).maskOpacity.valueAtTime(time-framesToTime(1, fps = 1.0 / thisComp.frameDuration))
