  • Motion help! Layers get the position one by one!

    Posted by John Kevien on May 1, 2008 at 6:44 am

    the formula seems to be easy.Just about the distance , speed and time.

    And my scene is : there is a column of layers that at the same place and then I want them to moving to another same place,assuming layer1 get first and then layer2,layer3,just both of them moving in x axis.

    thanks in advance !!

    An expression like this applied to the position properties of layers 2 thru n should get you started:

    delay = 0.1;
    leader = thisComp.layer(1);
    x = leader.position.valueAtTime(time – (index-1)*delay)[0];
    [x, value[1]]
