Try precomposing the shadow-casting layer and set its “Casts Shadows” property to “Only”.

Without seeing what you’ve done, my guess would be that it’s a pixel aspect ratio thing (square pixel layers in a rectangular pixel comp?) If so, you’ll save yourself a lot of aggravation by working in a square pixel comp and fitting it inside your rectangular-pixel output comp when you’re done.

This time-remapping expression should do it:

f = thisComp.frameDuration;
frames = Math.round(time/f);
(Math.floor(frames/2)*3 + frames%2)*f

Try this:

linear(time,0,4,100,150)

If you only want integers, it would be like this:

Math.round(linear(time,0,4,100,150))

I’d split the layer at the switch point and re-parent the second piece.

If you want the follower layers to have the same orientation as the leader layer, but time delayed, apply this expression the their rotation property (leave auto-orientation off for the followers):

delay = 0.25;
t = time – delay;
L = this_comp.layer(“leader”);
x = L.toWorldVec([1,0],t);
radiansToDegrees(Math.atan2(x[1],x[0]));
