staggered step offs

I'm looking for advice on the easiest way to create staggered step offs. For example: a performer leaving every 2 counts over a 16 count transition.

You can use the Sequential Push Tool or the Traditional Tool from the Tradtional / Military Manuevers Plug-in.

If you are running version 8 you can advance the anchors using a shortcut key and then design the transition for each group, then advance the secondary anchor 2 counts and repeat.

What you are looking for is traditionally called a Step Two Drill: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gZRFdbi ... g&index=29

To echo Dustin and to add my own flair to this, you are insane if you attempt to do this massively without the Traditional Tools plugin pack. Before this, I had to advance the anchors every X counts and add the next person. It is ridiculous and can lead to any number of errors. Get the plugin pack and save yourself the massive headache.

In fact, the Traditional Tool alone is more than worth the price of the plugin pack, once you get used to it and figure out how to use it correctly.
