  • Trying to create an Element3D Proxy switch

    Hi guys.

    So yesterday I was pretty pushed on a project with a load of element3d text. If you look in the render options of element in the effects panel, you can set the render to preview.

    I figured hey, wouldn’t it be cool if I could hook all of my element layers in preComps up to a master toggle checkbox in the master sequence.

    I’m having a bit of trouble getting it to work though!

    So far I have;

    if (comp("TUI CONFERENCE REEL V4").layer("!! Element Preview Switch !!").effect("PREVIEW ON / RENDER OFF")("Checkbox")==1){
    (967)
    } else {
    (968)
    }

    Doesn’t seem to work though. Yesterday when I was using ;

    effect("Element")(968)

    To display the values for;
    full render (967)
    draft (968)
    preview (969)

    However, this isn’t working today.

    Can anyone offer a hand please?
