Hi Dean,

this sounds like a good job for iExpressions.

To place a bunch of layers along a line, use one of these:
Distribute 2D Line  - http://bit.ly/12sHUsI
Distribute 3D Line  - http://bit.ly/12sHMcw

If you want all of them to follow the opacity change of the first one, but with a time delay, you can link the opacity for each of them to the opacity of the first one using a
Simple Link 1D - http://bit.ly/17620bQ
After you linked, you can click on the triangle before the link to reveal the link options where you can set a time delay
(The amount of time delay is the only thing you need to adjusted for each layer manually)

Cheers,
Mathias

Aloha,

I am looking for an expression that might help me animate a line of dots. I have the dot going from zero transparency to 100% and back on an expression that works fine. I'd like to create a left to right series of these dots animating on and off left to right. Is there an expression that would help here you are aware of?

Gracias,
