You could precompose the layers with whatever preset you are using and then time remap/ time stretch them within the main composition.

Im not sure if this is what you are asking for but …
1.) Get your two layers, mask one of them and copy the mask onto the other layer
2.) Make both the “front” and the “back” movie 3d layers
3.) Move the “back” movie .5 pixels on the Z axis and parent the back “movie” to the front “movie”
4.) Keyframe the rotaation of the front movie and the back will follow its rotation and it will seem as if it is a triangle with a different movie oneach side.
5.) If you want the front movie to freeze while the back one is facing the camera just use tiome remapping on it

Try creating a new project and importing the old projects. This will import all of the comps and footage from that project.

I’m pretty sure there is a plug in called muzzle flash allthough I can’t remember who makes it. This plug in can make the flashes that are emitted from the front of guns. If buying a plug in is out of the question you could try taking some fractal noise and colorizing it, then adding a mask to it so it appears in front of the gun. You could then animate the mask shape to make the flash grow and recede over a few frames.

You could try animating one arrow along its path and then creating duplicates that follow it via expressions. Create one arrow with a keyframed motion. Duplicate this layer and add the following expression to the position property:

offset = 1;//Delay in seconds
thisComp.layer(index – 1).position.valueAtTime(time – offset)

Then duplicate the layer with the expression for however many copies you want. They will all follow the first layer in a line.

Turn on the Continuously rasterize switch. This switch also functions as the collapse transformations switch. This will ensure that when scaled up, the layers remain edges remain clean.

Thanks for the info steve I appreciate it.

just highlight the ___’s and pick whip to the attatch point of each of the trackers. THe expression will do the rest for you. Sorry for the double post I think I somehow hit the submit button twice or something i dunno…
