## Description

Stagger is a full-page workflow designed to help you stagger both layers and keyframes. It offers tons of customizable parameters and modes for every scenario

### Options

**Type**\
**-** *Layer*: Stagger individual layers\
\- *Keyframe*: Stagger keyframes across or within layers

**Mode**\
\- *In-point*: The stagger interval will be calculated based on the in-point of the layers.\
*- Out-point*: The *interval* becomes *overlap*, and the stagger is calculated based on the out-point of the layers, and how much they overlap.&#x20;

**Direction**\
\- *Ascending*: Stagger will apply in ascending order\
\- *Descending*: Stagger will apply in descending order

**Alignment**\
\- *CTI*: Stagger will start aligning layers at the CTI\
\- *Layer*: Stagger will start aligning layers at the in-point of the first layer in the sequence

**Start Index**\
\- *Top*: This specifies that the alignment of the layers will start with the topmost layer\
\- *Bottom*: The alignment of the layers will start with the bottom layer

**Interval/Overlap**\
\- *Interval*: Specifies the frames or seconds that the layers or keyframes will be staggered\
\- *Overlap*: Specifies the amount of overlap that the layers will have when staggered

**Grouping**\
\- Staggers layers in groups

**Randomize**\
\- Randomly stagger the selected layers

\- *CTI*: Stagger will start aligning layers at the CTI\
\- *Layer*: Stagger will start aligning layers at the in-point of the first layer in the sequence

**Grouping**\
\- Staggers layers in groups

**Duration Type**\
\- *Custom*: Enables the *Duration* option, with which you can specify the duration of time over which the graph will stagger your layers or keyframes\
\- *Work Area*: Sets the duration of the stagger to span your current work area. Will disable the *Duration* and *Alignment* options, since the stagger will be aligned with the work area.
