1. Re: expression request
Christian Lett Nov 2, 2013 10:54 AM (in response to Cris is Bliss)You can do this using a few keyframes and a very simple expression.
On layer one, set an opacity keyframe at frame 0 to 100%. Make a hold keyframe, and then on the next frame set the opacity to zero, which should default to hold also. Finally on the third frame* set the opacity back to 100%. Alt-click on the stopwatch and add the expression loopOut(type='cycle');
Copy your keyframes and the expression to your other layers, and offset all the keyframes by one frame each layer, so on the second layer the first keyframe is on frame one, the third layer frame two, etc.
* Obviously this frame depends on how many layers you want to cycle through. Here we have three layers so the final keyframe setting the opacity back to 100 is on frame three (assuming your comp starts at frame zero). If you have 10 layers, this will be frame 10.
Hope that helps.

Cris is Bliss Nov 3, 2013 9:42 PM (in response to Christian Lett)Thank you, it works. However it does not allow for the easy adding and subtracting of layers as I think it would with the expression i wanted. But it does allow from other interesting combinations.
Thank You again.

THANK YOU, I think I like this better than the expression I wanted to write.
