Start clips in grid at random in point

Question

I'm creating a video grid, and I want to have the clips(right now all the same) begin at a random interval so they look more unique. I'm a bit stuck on how to set the inPoint or startTime with an expression and where to place it.I do plan on using time remapping to loop, would it be as simple as?loopOut();
this.inPoint(random());Any help would be greatly appreciated. I'm finding a lot on randomizing things, just not time code related.

You could start with a time remapping expression like this and see how close it gets you:seedRandom(index,true);offset = random(source.duration);(time + offset)%source.duration
