  Good way to animate color changes not using hue, curves, levels

  Posted by Viking Jonsson on January 25, 2013 at 8:48 am

  Hello,

  Just want to say that I really appreciate all the help I have got from CreativeCow-members. Big thanks.

  Well now I need some advice again. I have made a animation with a logotype that folds up.

  The logotype is made of squares, I have masked every square and set the anchor point so it connects with the square infront, then I just rotate the squares in Y-axis from 90 to 0.

  It looks good, but now I would like to keep changing the colors at the sametime as the fold up keeps happening.

  The logotype is really colorful to begin with. I testet to animate a hue-wheel but I always got really ugly colors.. I’ve tested with levels and curves as well.

  So my next attempt is to uses solids that changes color. Here is where my question comes (finally)

  Is there any script I can write to get the solid to change colors that I have decided? So not any random colors, I would love it to have a bit of fade between changes.

  Regards
  Viking Jonsson

  Big thanks

  There are many ways to do so.

  one of the easiest way is to use Fill Effect(Effects>Generate>Fill).

  Then animate the fill color as required.

  Are these random color changes, or is there a specific color pattern you need. Need some more detail about the color before a script/expression can be written.
