Offsets animation by retrieving a property value from a specific time.
thisComp.layer("LayerName").transform.position.valueAtTime(time - 1)
Delaying the position animation of a layer so it follows another layer with a slight lag.
Great for collision detection effects, such as interactive animations where elements change on contact.
Perfect for animating objects connected with a spring-like motion, like bungee cords or flexible connectors.
Great for automating multi-line text layouts in templates or data-driven projects.
Great for 3D projects where stroke width consistency is critical, such as motion graphics with line animations.
Useful in lower-thirds or other animated text elements that fade in and out with the parent layer.
Great for looping animations on raster images, videos, or shapes when track mattes aren’t practical.
