The default X and Y offset values are the layer's bounding box dimensions, so if you just click OK then the references will be added back to back with no space between them.

Thank you Victor, excellent idea!Víctor Paredes wrote:Wow, another fantastic and clever script this week!
Thank you very much for sharing it.
I have been playing with it and have some feedback for it (and, of course, you are free to consider it):
The Layer Translation channel is used to move the delayed referenced layers, that means you can't modify that channel after the references are created, because it's not referenced to the original layer.
Also related to layer translation, the script only offsets the first layer translation keyframe for the references. So, if you have more than one translation key, the references start in the new position, but then go back to the original layer position, creating a weird animation.
To solve it, maybe the script could have the option to create a group for each reference and translate the group instead of the layer itself.
I tried to manually do this group trick, but the script is not working for groups right now.
Wow! Thank you very much, Stan!Stan wrote:"Put Each Reference in a Group Layer" - I added that option to the new version (1.1). The link in the first post is updated. Enjoy!
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

Yeah, I was thinking about version 2, with Z axis, rotations, randomization, etc. That would be kind of making it an alternative to the particles layers. But finding some spare time for it is always a problem. I'll try my best though. Maybe this upcoming weekend.jezjones29 wrote:Is there any way to add Z and Rotate options?
