Interesting!

I ended up doing in manually for the sake of time, but your idea makes sense.

Thanks 🙂

Thanks so much for your help. Unfortunately I’m totally at a loss.

My structure and code looks just like yours, but still not working!

Maybe there is something small I’m missing…

My project is attached in case you are able to spot the problem.

I can’t figure out what I am doing differently 🙁

Hi,

Thanks very much, but I’m still not getting the result. My source text is black as is the ‘base color’ in the expression.
I tried adding an animator before the one I had with color set to black, and the result is the same. This is the full code on the second animator:

txt = text.sourceText;
switch(txt[textIndex-1]){
case "a":
color = [255,128,0];
break;
case "b":
color = [0,102,0];
break;
case "c":
color = [0,102,102];
break;
case "d":
color = [0,76,153];
break;
case "e":
color = [76,0,153];
break;
case "f":
color = [153,0,153];
break;
case "g":
color = [204,0,102];
break;
case "h":
color = [50,75,75];
break;
case "i":
color = [153,0,0];
break;
case "j":
color = [0,102,0];
break;
case "k":
color = [0,102,102];
break;
case "l":
color = [0,76,153];
break;
case "m":
color = [0,153,153];
break;
case "n":
color = [153,0,153];
break;
case "o":
color = [204,0,102];
break;
case "p":
color = [50,75,75];
break;
case "q":
color = [153,0,0];
break;
case "r":
color = [0,102,0];
break;
case "s":
color = [0,102,102];
break;
case "t":
color = [0,76,153];
break;
case "u":
color = [76,0,153];
break;
case "v":
color = [153,0,153];
break;
case "w":
color = [204,0,102];
break;
case "x":
color = [50,75,75];
break;
case "y":
color = [204,0,102];
break;
case "z":
color = [50,75,75];
break;
default:
color = [22,40,69];
break;
}
color*100/255

Also attached is a new screenshot trying your suggested setup:

Hi Dan and company,

I’m reviving this question. The expression is working great for me. I’m using the 255 variation.

However, even though I have the letter ‘a’ associated with a specific color value, different ‘a’s in my text and appearing as different colors.

See attached image.

Any ideas how to ensure each letter is always the same color?

Thanks!

Thanks,
Ari

See this tutorial I recorded a while back… this explains how to do the exact thing that has now gone missing.

Thanks!!

Thanks,
Ari

Thanks Dave, but not at all what I was asking. Sorry If I was unclear.

In the past when I move around layers, audio or video, let’s say I drag video to layer 2, then click shift to hold it in place and move audio of the same clip to the audio track I want. Makes it a very seamless motion.

That shift to hold in place seems to have vanished…

Any ideas?

Thanks,
Ari
