Reverse Shatter Expression

If you’d like to copy and past the expression from the Reverse Shatter Tutorial, here is the text:

 seedRandom(index,true)
 start = random([-100,200,-2000] , [1000, 400, 1000]);
 end = value;

 ease(time, 0, 3 + (index*thisComp.frameDuration), start, end)

    Hello.
    @ Qaiser: You would have to change the picture into a document where all the different parts are individual paths.
    this works not so good with a lot of colors.
