Hi Dan,

I was trying to achieve something similar to your classic delay expression but work on a single text layer using text animators

delay = 5; //number of frames to delay
d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index - 1);
thisComp.layer(1).position.valueAtTime(time - d) 

I want to be able to delay the position for every text animator in the stack. Like in the GIF

I know this can be done much simpler using a range selector but find the control if it lacking compared to delay and offsetting it by a set number of frames

Thanks so much for the quick response Dan this worked perfect

Thanks so much Dan, this worked perfect when each layer has its own rotation.

Do you know if there is a simple way to make this work when the rotation is being controlled via a single null?

This works perfect, thank you so much Andrei

Thanks so much for your reply Dan, i’m getting the below warning. Any ideas?

I also forgot to mention the source text has been added via Essential Properties, is that likely to make a difference.

Thanks for your reply Dan, I’m still getting a bit of overlap any thoughts?
