After Effect Checkbox Color Control Fill
Hi,
I have an issue and I can’t seem to figure out what to do … and getting some expression errors
Want to create a list of 5 Checkbox list that has assigned an individual colour assigned to it and using and Adjustment Layer to control the Fill Color of an Highlighted Text
temp = thisComp.layer(“Adjustment Layer 4”).effect(“Color Control”)(“Color”); is assigned to a Text Layer/ Range Selector that Changes the Fill Colour
I want to change that respective Colour using Some Checkboxes.Thank you,

you can’t really do it with checkboxes… you will encounter logic issues when trying to execute expressions that are dependent on other expressions.
you can do it with a slider, so 1 would be a color, 2 would be another color, etc…
also, unless you like writing colors in rgb values, i would keyframe the colors you want in the color picker, then use an expression on that color control to the value.
so if you add a sider expression control to your layer, the expression for the color control could look like this:
n = effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”) ;
key( Math.floor( clamp( n, 1, numKeys ) ) ).value[edit]
i just tested it and you can omit the Math.floor bit… so this works for the last line:
key( clamp( n, 1, numKeys ) ).value

Hi Kevin,
Nice expression and I got it working. But I am looking for the next solution for this. I’ve got a precomp with a text layer & Color control layer, this one is nested inside the main comp.
Is it possible to put a color control layer in the main comp and link that to the text layer in the precomp?
Cheers
