Hello everyone,
I have some question that bother me long time.
For example if i have a text layer in after effects, i animate that text, i choose there fill color, and than add in "fiil selector 1" some keyframes; than what i see is the text is colored from right to left,ok, my problem starts here. If i want that some psd file, or image, jumps from a text (for example) every time that letter is colored (in other words, when this letter keyframe is played).
I try do it with expression, but luckless.
anyone can help me? thanks. :)

Doesn't sound like you need expressions. Just manually animate the images' opacity & position to sync with the letters changing colour. Once you animate one image, you can copy those keyframes to the rest and then adjust their timing.

arhh another fansub guy? hehe anyway what he is asking is for a way that can be done easily rather than manually insert the keyframe for position and adjusting it..
