Color Array on Fill effect assigned to Slider

[Kalleheikki Kannisto]

I think you just need to take the “.value” out at the end of the second line.

Oh.. You are right. Thanks. There was a “)” too many in the code as well. Updated below in case someone wants to use it.

However, this expression is very picky and breaks if the sliderValue goes out of range.

Is there a way to prevent that?

colors = [[0/255,0/255,0/255,255/255],[128255,128/255,129/255,255/255],[114/255,25/222,26/255,255/255],[12/255,62/255,0/255,255/255]]; //etc...
sliderValue = Math.floor(comp("mainComp").layer("COLOR_ADJUSTMENT").effect("Slider Control")("Slider"));
value = colors[sliderValue];

no luck in preventing the expression to break with the code below.

value = colors[sliderValue];

if (sliderValue > colors.length)
value = [0/255,0/255,0/255,1]
if (sliderValue < 0)
value = [0/255,0/255,0/255,1]

Found Dan’s solution, which seems to work when applied to the slider!

linear(value,1,100,1,100)

Whenever I make templates like this I tend to use the Color Control expression control instead. Then on top of Hue, saturation and brightness controls; end users can use the dropper to select colors.

[Terje Lundgren]

Thanks for the input Chris. I agree the dropper is very convenient. Just a little bit more risky when you have to stick to a restricted palette.

That is exactly why I use the picker. We put guide layers with color palate for the appropriate show instead of a slider.
