Finally made it work with this expression

offset = .1;
id = thisProperty.propertyGroup(2).propertyIndex;
content(“B 2”).content(“Group 2”).transform.scale.valueAtTime(time-id*offset)

Anyhow, it only works for the 2nd group – the rest of the groups will not offset but mimic 2nd group behavior.

Anyone in how to offset depending of group order?

I think I found the right expression:

This one works between shape groups for a SCALE animation

for x5 frames offset

offset = .2;content(“NAME OF THE GROUP“).transform.scale.valueAtTime(time-offset);

for x1 frame offset

offset = thisComp.frameDuration;content(“NAME OF THE GROUP“).transform.scale.valueAtTime(time-offset);

Sequence layers can’t be an option because if you check the screenshot I posted, the typo made of dots will made a simple sentence of 2 or 3 words very likely a +100 layers comp.

My aim is to understand how to offset an expression linked to an animation of a group of shapes but inside the same layer.

The expression content(“NAME OF THE FIRST…

As far as I understand now, I need to get to know how the “offset=.1” instruction works inside the scripting language.

Anyone can help?

Thanks

Thanks Hung for your suggestions, but I’m not entirely sure Pastiche will help me with this. Maybe you can confirm if it can work with shapes groups as it does with layers.

The fundamental issue is that the font I’m using belongs to the brand identity, so I have to create text with it, and then convert the typo into shapes and animate the scale of…

I’m animating dots shapes from typography converted to shapes scaling up with overlapping animation. There are lots of circles in a shape layer and I want them to come on with a 1 frame difference. Is there a way you can offset keyframes like you can layers or do I have to do it manually? What would be your fastest way of doing?

I found this…
