Perfect! That’s exactly what I was looking for. You’re a life saver. (And a time saver)

Are all the sound effects the same size?

If so, why not just use keyframe assistant? Put all the layers in and create them all with the same length (say 2 seconds each). Use the keyframe assistant to sequence the layers. (Animation->keyframe assistant->sequence layers…) Choose no overlap. This will sequence all of your sound layers one after the other.

Let’s say X=number of layers you have.

Then, do the exact same steps with X copies of the text layer we’ve been discussing (with source text property expression being thisComp.layer(index+1).name) The only difference, instead of putting +1, put -X. After you use your keyframe assistant, all of your layers will magically be in place!
