Thanks a lot my friend. It has answered all and even something more that I did n’t ask.

Just need your confirmation, on point B) of your reply. Is it possible to create a layer, making it as 3d type, and then re-position a lot of layers in depth, all of this using the script? Any brief example of this.

I personnaly do VBA scripting to customize tasks in Excel but this AE scripting which resembles with Java scripting is actually very new to me and it will take time to have a good grasp of it.

Dear sir
One more thing. I have tried to distinguish these two terms, expression and script. So what my objective is, I think is rather something which is more relevant to script and not expression. Because this is something that I want to do without hitting RAM Preview button to see the play back. This is sort of “ScaleSelectedLayers” thing, a script that we have in the default “SupportFiles/Scripts/Demo” folder that ships with AE software.

Thanks a lot sir. I will give it a try. But before I do that let me rephrase my query a bit differently.

You create a new project. You bring 80 layers (3d) in your timeline. Now you are willing to move your camera in Z direction (depth) BUT before that what you have to do is to reorganize that stack of 80 layers so that they eye of the camera could see the content of all those 80 layes while moving forward in Z direction (depth). So if you try to set this spacing between layers, it is time taking and you need more control over precisness in spacing between 80 layers (I finally look for about more than 120 layers).

Thanks to both of you my friends. Just forget about the camera import into AE and let me know if you could advise me how still images can be used to create a good motion graphic. What I need are some very rough ideas to work on and this help will be much appreciated.

Kind regards
