Thank you, it worked perfectly.

I have 27 layers that I want to randomly appear (quick fade on then fade off), but not overlap so that if one is at full opacity the others are invisible. Is this possible?

Brilliant, thank you!

Please disregard my second post it was made in error. It IS opacity.

Sorry, I should have said scale instead of opacity. But I think the principle of my question is the same, thanks.

I’m currently using this expression to randomly fade multiple layers:

fadeDuration = thisComp.frameDuration*10;

maxDelay = .5;

seedRandom(index,true);

delay = random(maxDelay);

t = time -(inPoint + delay);

linear(t,0,fadeDuration,100,0);

Is there a simple way to be able to adjust when in my timeline these fades will start? Right now it all happens at the…
