    Im having troubles making a inherited animation, start when layers appears in comp

    like this:

    Controller (animation of 1 second)
    ——-|>child animation start
    —————-|>child animation start
    ————————-|>child animation start
    ———————————|>child animation start

    How do i control this? is there a way with expressions?

    Hey Lucas,

    do you want these child layers to be incrementally delayed from its parent, or not necessarily? If thats the case, you could set delay and add it from one layer to another, by indexing them. In addition to this, you won’t need to actually move layer’s inPoints – instead, by starting at the same time of the comp, they could be still delayed incrementally. This is useful if you are not sure about the ‘timing’, and does not require manually changing in points.
