AE - POSITION How to offset a series of layers using the same trigger

(pickwhip source value).valueAtTime(time - 1);


--This will get you a one second delay.

(pickwhip source value).valueAtTime(time - thisComp.frameDuration);

--This will get you a two second delay.

(pickwhip source value).valueAtTime(time -2+(thisComp.frameDuration));


--This will get you a one frame delay.
--If you have many layers that will be delayed it may be helpful
to use the 'index' value of each layer:


(pickwhip source value).valueAtTime(time - index * thisComp.frameDuration);

--Each layer will be delayed by one more frame as you move down the layer stack because the index value will be increasing by one each time.
