Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Expressions Linking Text to ‘slider controller’

  • Linking Text to ‘slider controller’

    Posted by Essron Woolcock on November 19, 2018 at 4:19 pm

    Hey, i just have a basic knowledge of how expressions work in after effects. But i am desperate to solve this issue. I want to link a text to a slider controller, so that when i type 1 it reflects on the slider controller. I have ‘body’ comp, inside is a slider controller switching out different layers with a comp. That comp has time remapping activated with the expression a=thisComp.layer(“CHOOSE TOP “).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”)
    framesToTime(a). Now i need to control the slider with number text.

    Hi,

    You can put this in your slider exprexxion :

    parseInt(thisComp.layer(“1”).text.sourceText);

    Hope this works,
    Cheers !
