Mmmm. My only suggestion would be;
duplicate your layer twice
top layer: delete even lines (2, 4, etc) set new line spacing so that it matches up with the other layers
second layer; delete odd lines, set new line spacing – should be same as top layer – move lines down so they match up with layer 3
Turn off or delete 3rd layer (only needed to line up text)
Slide keyframes on 2nd layer so it starts 50% through first movement of layer 1.

There may be a simpler, more elegant way of doing it but…

Hi, what is your setup? Is it a preset? Expression?

Hi Aaron, there is a series of extremely good tutorials here on Creative Cow by Andrew Devis about Text Animators which you might find very useful – not only for the preset animations and knowing how to customise them, but how to create your own.

Hi Vlad. A way to do something similar. Duplicate your keyed layer. In the lower layer add the Simple Choker effect and set it to a minus numbers (-25?) add the Curves effect and drag the RGB channel so that it sits flat across the top – making it all white. Then move the individual R and/or G and/or B channels down towards a flat line on the bottom of their box or the top of the box to get the color you want (ie. Pure Blue = Blue channel line flat at top, Red and Green channels line flat at bottom – to get the teal color in your example angle up a bit of the Green channel). Add the Roughen Edges effect, set to Spiky and increase the Border amount. Add Directional Blur effect and increase the Blur Amount. Play with the various effects settings until you’re happy.

Hi Paula. Are the anchor points at the center of the wheels? If not, use the Pan Behind tool (shortcut Y) to place them in the center (don’t use the anchor point setting in the layer’s Transform Properties which will just move the wheels around). Was that the issue?

Hi Caitlin, when you’re using a layer emitter you need to increase your birth rate into the thousands – if I understand it correctly the whole layer is emitting which includes the alpha creating invisible particles.

Hi, you could use the Wave Warp effect with a high Wave Width setting.

[Greg Gesch]

Do you mean the Stroke effect, or the stroke setting on a shape or text layer? Is the stroke moving so as to reveal the 3rd layer bit by bit, or is it fading out?

Hi Marcel, I’m confused about what you want to do. If it is transparent then you cannot see that it is there, so whatever is behind it will show through whether it is there or not. Perhaps you can give an example or explain more clearly?

I suspect that you have too few planes which may be confusing the tracker – totally my instinct, I will add. I suspect the tracker is seeing only 2 or 3 planes – red flags, right wall and/or left wall – and only the red flags are crossing over anything behind them and giving clear parallax. It might be worth trying a setup where you add some free standing green markers away from the walls so that as the camera moves there is clear crossing over of markers at different distances from the camera for better position and depth information?
