Delay expression in After Effects

This expression allows you to introduce a time delay in your animation. It can be used to create pauses or offsets between layers or keyframes, adding a sense of timing and rhythm to your animations. Apply it to any animatable property to control when a change takes effect within your composition.

delay = 15; //number of frames to delay

*replace “targetLayer” to your name of layer
