Disregard. Found another thread mentioning this problem and there being a preference to adjust for it somewhere. I’ll hunt and peck.

Thank you thank you thank you! Simple and elegant solution. Perfect mix of flexibility and simplicity. Simple enough for me to feel silly for not thinking of it.

Thanks again Chris!

actually I’m trying to get the expression working.

I need to simplify color picking for a complex graphics package that gets reused by the Video Editors on a regular basis. The color scheme needs to change weekly and I need to come up with a way to change multiple elements as easily as possible. Most of it is easily done keying elements through solids so changing the solid changes the elements in multiple comps. However some use the tint effect and I need to come up with a way to change that through multiple comps from one comp.

Is there a way anyone knows of to get the tint color box to return a numerical value?

thanks!

Thanks!

I don’t appear to have a “Shortcut.txt” File. Nowhere in my Adobe folders anyway.

What program are you importing them into?

We’re in constant contact with Avid. They mostly tell us “yup, that’s a problem” or “we’re working on that.” There are many issues with Adrenaline right now that Avid is aware of. Most annoying is the constant release of buggy patches. As far as everyone loving the Adrenaline, that has not been my experience. They have an uphill battle to convince early adopters to trust them on new relases in the future. Many I’ve talked to are feeling more than a little bagged on the Adrenaline, although it seems to be getting better.

They are definitely feeling the heat from our end and are working their behinds off to fix it.

Doubt anyone who has worked with both would say this. FCP does everything Avid does minus the crash my Adrenaline treats me to on an hourly basis. Hard to be an editor when I’m constantly rebooting.

would love to talk to folks about how FCP handles multiple users and ongoing project/media maintanence as well as conforming. All of these were weak areas last time I got on the box.

Most of your high-end post houses are going to use avid. Media management is the main advantage. When FCP gets that going they should be able to steal the high-end market share. I think you’ll find where money is less of an issue, people opt for Avid. Getting very frustrated with it myself, but we use >20 rooms sharing media on Unity and FCP just isn’t up to the challenge. Can’t wait ’til it is.

I would NOT use the availability of Avid as a sign that a post house is inferior. Far from it. It’s the gold standard right now, but FCP is catching up fast (ahead in some areas) and I will be happy to see Avid get smacked around a bit by it.

good luck with your project
