  Move Layer to mark

  Posted by Jeff Kesler on June 7, 2007 at 10:25 pm

  I’m sure this is feasible, but clearly above me:
  I do a lot of see and say lists…vo says it, type comes on screen. I will preview audio on a layer and drop marks at each point that the text line should come on. All the marks are on one layer. I use a script to import a csv list and create a comp layer for each line of text. Is there a script that I can program so that after I drag all the text layers into the comp (same start point, say the first mark), it will then line up each subsequent layer with the next mark, similar to the keyframe assistant “sequence layers”? I tried to find a keyboard shortcut so that I could at least use a macro, but could not find that either. I realize in a pinch I could go to each mark and trim the layer in point, but each text layer comp (1 comp per line of text) already has the transition effect at the beg of the comp when it is created.
  Any help appreciated. TIA
