I haven’t tried to create something like this but it looks like there are a couple of ways to go about it. Displacement is one thing but you should also look at Time Displacement. Then there’s Trapcode’s Particular which looks like it may do the trick, together with some Displacement.

This is an interesting effect. Pity that no on else has chimed in.

If you close the AEP and then reach for the File Menu, you will be able to see the filepath of the AEP that you last worked on, in the Recent Projects sub-menu.

US$495 is too much for a one-trick pony. Chekcout Mylenium’s site, he’s got at least one AEP on line graphs. I recall seeing a tutorial on pie-charts too but I can’t recall where.
In fact, for line graphcs, all you need is the Stroke plugin.

Bro, you may want to look at using a particle generator. PP can do strict horizontal movements quite well. With lots of particles, you may get the look that you want. And the thing with working with layer indices is that it slows down as you add more layers to a group. Althought with groups of 14, it should be ok.

Just a thought.

Dude! In line 2 of the script, “p= …”, simply replace the number “1” after the word layer with “14” for layers 15-upto whatever number you want. Essentially, any layer with this scipt will follow layer 14.

//original script – layer 1 as leader
d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index – 1);
p = thisComp.layer(1).position.valueAtTime(time – d);
[p[0],value[1]]
//

//amended script – layer 14 as leader
d = delay*thisComp.frameDuration*(index – 1);
p = thisComp.layer(1).position.valueAtTime(time – d);
[p[0],value[1]]
//
