One null, controlling multiple objects, offset

[Dan Ebberts]

Probably by adding something like this to your expression:

.valueAtTime(time – delay)

but the specifics (and the way you calculate delay) depend on how you have things set up and the expression you’re using now.

Thanks for your response, Dan. Here’s what I’ve got so far, “temp = thisComp.layer(“Null 1″).transform.yPosition;
[temp, temp]”
How would your script fit into this, and what would it look like if I wanted to offset something by 10 frames?

Thanks,
Brad

It would be like this:

delay = framesToTime(10)*(index-1);
s = thisComp.layer(“Null 1”).transform.yPosition.valueAtTime(time – delay);
[s,s]

This assumes that the layers with the expression are at the top of the layer stack (i.e. the first layer is layer 1). If not, you’ll need to adjust the delay calculation.

Cool, man! That’s working! Thanks for your help!
