Slider Help

[Dan Ebberts]

I’m not sure exactly what you’re after, but this should give you some ideas. You would keyframe the animation for ITEM ONE. The you would apply a slider to it and set the value to the delay you want (let’s say 1 second). The for the other layers you would apply expressions like these:

//Tint/Map White to:

leader = thisComp.layer(“ITEM ONE”);
delay = thisComp.layer(“ITEM ONE”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
leader.effect(“Tint”)(“Map White To”).valueAtTime(time – Math.abs(index – leader.index)*delay)

//Scale:

leader = thisComp.layer(“ITEM ONE”);
delay = thisComp.layer(“ITEM ONE”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
leader.transform.scale.valueAtTime(time – Math.abs(index – leader.index)*delay)

//Position

leader = thisComp.layer(“ITEM ONE”);
delay = thisComp.layer(“ITEM ONE”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
delta = leader.transform.position.valueAtTime(time – Math.abs(index – leader.index)*delay) – leader.transform.position.valueAtTime(0);
value + delta

You’d need to remove the position keyframes from the other layers. Something like that anyway.
