  • Text expression: slider + suffix doesn’t work

    Posted by Alex Weil on July 30, 2018 at 2:41 pm

    hey
    i made this expression
    effect("Slider Control")("Slider") + " mm"

    i should show me the result of the slider + the millimetre suffix, but it looks like After Affects tries to Calculate it like its Math. Anyone an Idea?

    cheers
    Alex

    I think either of these will work:

    effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”).value + ” mm”

    “” + effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”) + ” mm”
