Source layer lightness controller
Hello guys, i need some help, i don’t even know how to name it, but i am looking for a way to create a controller based on a *.mov lightness that can be linked with other layer.
So lets say i have an optical flare pre-render with flicker, i want a plugin or expression that turns the lightness into a value slider, because i want to link other effects to this slider value so everything is connected and in flow.

By “lightness”, do you mean transparency in this case?
You could add a null to your comp and put a “slider control” effect on it. Twirl down the transparency setting on your flare. Alt+click the stopwatch, and then click-drag the little spiral icon to “pick whip” it to the control slider. You can now control the transparency of the flare with the slider.

You can use the sampleImage() expression to get pixel values from footage.
Check out this example — it’s really close to what you’re looking for:
