    So I have several layers, and I want zoom in on them, but I want them to scale up at different speeds. So say Layer 1 is my master layer, and it doubles in size over a second, I’d like layer 2 to triple in size over that second.

    I thought it would be as simple as typing multiplying the scale by 1.5, but that just makes the layer bigger across the board, (it doesn’t grow bigger).

    This can’t be that complicated. Any ideas?

    so at frame 0 – you want layer one to have a scale keyframe of 100%.

    then at frame 25 – you want layer one to have a scale keyframe of 100%.

    first layer done.

    now at frame 0 – you want layer two to have a scale keyframe of 100%.

    then at frame 25 – you want layer two to have a scale keyframe of 300%.

    and so forth.

    is this what you mean? it sounds like from your post – that you are just increasing the layer size, without setting keyframes…

    What I meant was that at frame 0, layer 1 would be 100% and layer 2 would be 100%. At frame 20, layer 1 would be 110% and layer 2 would be 120%. At five seconds, Layer 1 would be 200% and layer 2 would be 400%.

    Except I have ten layers, all at different rates.

    I figured it out. I had to use expressions, and it wasn’t obvious.
