    not quite sure how to define the parameters. ( ie randomize in 15 frame range)

    The script works on a random range. The default is -60 for the minimum and 30 for the maximum. That means that the layers will be randomly shifted up to 60 frames backwards and 30 frames forward. To randomize in a 15 frame range you can set min 0 and max 15 to only have the frame be shifted forward or -7 and 7 to have some shifted backward and some shiftedforward.

    mad brilliant…

    maybe make another button to combine with sort by in point after it’s been randomized. I like my random organized. ;-)

    great stuff - this all makes AE fun to play with!

    Cool script!
    It would be also nice to shift layers for a “n” amount of frames depending on the layer before.
    Like for example:
    layer 1 time 00:00:00 -> i tell 25 frames shifting so
    layer 2 time 00:01:00
    layer 3 time 00:02:00
    layer 4 time 00:03:00 and so on!

    Hello!

    Great script!
    I tried to use it to shift 500 “brushes” in the painting effect but it only works for layers. Is it possible to change this a little bit so it can shift some “brush layers”?

    Thanks
    Norman
