Change color per character of text
Hi all,
(I’m running After Effects 2020), and I’ve looked on the forums and found things that are close to this, but not quite there.
I’m working on a project where I have to make a whole bunch of text layers where each letter is a specific color based on their order in the words.
“These Words” where T – yellow, h – blue, e – red, s – purple, then repeating the cycle of colors for the next e – yellow, W – blue, etc.
I’ve seen the expression control for color, so it seems like it should be possible to change afterwords the hue of yellow for all of these things if the client doesn’t like the yellow that’s been selected as an example.
But I’m stumped on how to do the first part with differentiating the colors based on the order of characters.
Any suggestions?
Thank you!
Tom
