Constant Value Drift and Motion

1. Linear Value Drift Over Time

2. Apply Value Drift to Array Element eg. Position Y

3. Constant Horizontal Motion From Layer's Start Point

Align to X-axis or Y-axis

X-Axis

Y-Axis

Changing anchor point

Random positioning XYZ

Alternatively, you can use array variables for a preferred and shorter expression.

Time Remapping / Playback ✅

Random frame playback

Random delayed/advanced layer playback

Play one frame at a time (without 'float time')

Random still frame (Good for spriting)

Playback at every nth frames

Triggering animations with marker

Workflow

1. Create a preComp with all the different types of animation

2. In the main Comp, put an expression on the time remapping of that preComp

3. Add markers to trigger animations
