How to copy objects with delayed keyframes?

Question

I made the red cube move for 100 frames

I made a blue cube by duplicating a red cube. And since I moved the keyframe back, the blue cube moves after 20 frames

But this work takes two steps.

But I want to give delayed keyframes to many cubes, so I want to know how to easily do two steps at once.

Probably this could work ...

The Nonlinear Animation editor is made for that:

Duplicate your cube
Select a cube. In the Dope Sheet, switch to Action Editor, click on the Push Down button to push the action into the Nonlinear Animation editor:

It works fine for tens of cube, if you have hundreds of cube, maybe consider Geometry Nodes?

$\begingroup$ What makes a difference between Q/A workflow? I mean - it is also 2 steps. $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Yes but with his solution you'll end up with tens of actions, it seems more convenient to work with the NLA. I guess the only other solution is to do it with Geometry Nodes, but I don't know them enough $\endgroup$

$\begingroup$ Ah ... I forgot, when PushDown the action is reused in duplicated object ... yes it is convenient :) Thanks $\endgroup$
