Installation

Copy and paste the script to this location:

macOS: /Applications/Adobe After Effects (version)/Scripts/ScriptUI Panels

Windows: C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects (version)\Support Files\Scripts\ScriptUI Panels

How it works

1. Open Window>Automated Stagger Animation - It should be at the bottom of the menu.

1. Click on “Create the Controller” button.
2. Select all the layers that you want to apply the stagger animation.
3. Click on “Apply Animation” button. It will apply a fade-in animation on opacity and a position animation on X or Y.
4. The default number is good for a generic stagger animation. You can tweak the below properties as needed.

Tips

• Y_Pos and X_Pos: The distance the element to travel. Positive number moves the element upward, negative number moves the element downward.
