Calvin Swaim of Creative Congo takes a look at not only using the time offset expression to automate the animation of multiple layers in After Effects, but also looks at a way to simplify using the offset expression by building it into a script that can be accessed easily.
we’ll implement a simple script based upon Technique 2 in Jesse’s Time Offset Tutorial
Calvin notes that he will be releasing the Time Offset Script in the next little while, but in the mean time, he shows how you can create your own script so that you can implement the time offset expression across layers with the click of a button. Check out the tutorial for creating a time offset expression script for After Effects here.
