    Posted by Lukeinvt on July 28, 2005 at 7:00 pm

    Hello all, need a quick tip on expressions (AE 5.5)

    I have about 50 photoshop layers, each a different coin. At the end all 50 coins cover the entire TV frame .

    What I want is the coins to appear in succession, the bottom most first.

    Each new coin should appear every 10th frame, about 3 per second, so about 16 seconds total.

    Of course I could .laboriously move each coin to the correct starting point, but that takes forever, there must be a better way.. My rather limited knowledge of expressions tells me I would have to apply the expression to each photoshop layer, so this may be just as tedious.

    Any help would be appreciated

    Thanks

    Check out the “sequence layers command” if you set a large enough value for overlap you’ll get the staggered starting points you’re looking for.
