Dojo Shifter: Stagger & Offset Layers In the Timeline
I was working on some classic 2D motion graphic elements lately and found that staggering layers in the timeline was a painful, yet necessary process to get some poppy mesmerizing motion graphics. After a few days of work, I created a nifty little nifty script that would solve a majority of my problems in terms of offsetting and staggering layers. This is Dojo Shifter.
There are already a ton of layer shifting scripts out there, some better than mine, some not as advanced, and most of them are free. Dojo Shifter is not a script that tries to surpass these other scripts, nor is it a script that is trying to revolutionize or bring something new to the table. Dojo Shifter is a script I developed primarily to solve my issues and to practice my scripting abilities. I love to release the tools I develop to the community, so hopefully you find this tool useful.

I’m editing videogames becouse some my friends tell me that it’s the best way for learn the basics of editing and there are a lot of tutorials in the web. While i am doing my little videos, every time I discover something new, I want to learn more and more. I love what i done and this is also for you, so THANK’S!
