Can I get the color of a solid via expression?

[Andrei Popa]

Hi guys. I am trying to get the color of a solid via expressions and I am a bit lost.

I have tried

thisComp.layer(index-1).source.mainSource.color
thisComp.layer(index-1).source.color
thisComp.layer(index-1).color

In the documentation I only found properties of general Footage or some JSON properties, but nothing about solids.

AFAIK it’s not accessable, but in a pinch you could ;sampleImage() preEffects

Thanks. I was trying not to use sampleImage() because AFAIK its quite slow, similar to sourceRectAtTime().
