Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Expressions Parent Text Animator to Checkbox Control

  • Parent Text Animator to Checkbox Control

    I have a text layer with bunch of Text Animators, that leads to some performance issues during preview.
    Each Text Animator has Expression Selector that is animated by Amount. And despite being 0% it still cause lags. So I’d like to have an ability to disable those Text Animators where Expression Selector’s Amount = 0% by parenting to Checkbox Control or something.

    Maybe I shuold just edit the expressions to get the desired result, but I don’t know how.
    That’s the expression I use:
    arr = [0,1,0,0,0,0,0,1,0,0,1,1,1,1,1,1,0,0];
    arr[textIndex-1] ? value[0] : 0;

    Perhaps along the lines of

    if (checkbox==0) value else {your existing code here}

    ?
