  Expressions in AECS3

  Posted by Colin Braley on March 28, 2007 at 6:41 am

  According to Adob’es site:
  “New in After Effects Professional CS3, you can sample actual pixel values to drive effects”
  <https://www.adobe.com/products/aftereffects/features/allfeatures/>
  This will open up a LOT of new possibilities with expressions. I thought readers of this board might be interested.

  You can kind of half do this with a Digital Anarchy plugin already 🙂

  But this certainly seems quite cool

  The only problem with Digital Anarchy’s plug in is that you cant buy it standalone, and you can only sample make 1 sample every frame….im hoping the new command AE is including is something where you can type something like colorSample( layerName, xCoord, yCoord, time) in an expression and get the color value of any layer at any pixel, at any time. I’m keeping my fingers crossed.
