    Hi guys. Is there a way to get information from the Comp label group color?

    Here’s what i want to do:
    I have hundreds of lower thirds to do. I use an expression to fill the blanks from the comp title, but i use 2 different models. The difference between those two is a video layer in the background. I put those 2 video in all my comps. So what I want to do is to use the comp’s label Group color to activate/deactivate the right video layer.

    Any ideas?

    Expressions don’t have access to label colors, but depending on exactly what you want to do, maybe you do it with a comp marker.

    Thanks Dan. But I wanted to control what happens in comps from the project window. I’ll write something in the name of each comp, so it could be detected by an expression and do the job that I want.

    I think that may be your best option.
