Y axis movement with pause
Hi
I am brand new to After Effects – working on my first project.
I am trying to create a text list that moves vertically upwards (say 15 pixels) then pauses for half a second then moves vertically again.
This action will keep looping indefinitely.Is this something you can do with expressions, or will I have to key frame it all?
Thanks in advance for any help.

Try the following for the position property of your text layer:
xPos = 500; // or your own value
startY = 500; // or your own value
deltaY = 15;
yPos = startY - Math.floor(time) * deltaY;
linear(time % 1, 0, 0.5, [xPos, yPos], [xPos, yPos - deltaY])Xinlai Ni

Thanks Xinlai Ni – that is EXACTLY what I was after!
After I tweaked the figures it worked perfectly.
That saved me about two days worth of key framing.Thanks again.
