Expressions:
First I define the value that i want the expression to look at (val), then I create a delay variable (delay) that looks at a slider effect and then i use "valueAtTime()" to dictate the current value of the expression, minus the delay:
val = comp("Text Anim - Transform_ori").layer("CTRL").effect("Fractal Noise")(5);
delay = comp("Text Anim - Transform_ori").layer("CTRL").effect("Delay")(1);
val.valueAtTime(time-delay);
