It worked.

This is the expression for “Color control”

txt = thisComp.layer("TEXTCONTROL").text.sourceText
if (txt == "violet") ([.75,0,1,1])
if (txt == "blue") ([0,0,1,1])

Now (sorry if this is a stupid question) how can i find the color codes [like this (0,0,0,0)] for my palette?
In color picker there is the RGB format.

I doesn’t have the file project; it is a screen from the video that I linked in the original post.

So, any idea of what to do?

Can a “Color Control” read a color code (like “#FFFFF” or “255,255,255”) from a text source layer?

Not 100% sure but It have the “;” at the end.

I knew that “;” means the end of the expression, is that right?

He has a text layer called “Palette” to the bottom that he uses for Dynamic Link in Adobe Premiere.

“LEFT BOX” color is linked to the “Color Control” of the Null called “CONTROLS”
thisComp.layer("CONTROLS").effect("primary color")("Color")

“CONTROLS” has a “Color control” linked to the “Palette” text layer on the bottom of the composition
paletteName = thisComp.layer("palette").text.sourceText

Maybe there is an expression in “Palette” text layer? Or maybe he has some expression (maybe linked to some “shy” level) that he doesn’t show ?

Thank you.
It worked, but to display the footage the name should be the same of the footage including the file extension or I should modify one by one every single footage’s name.

Looking around in this forum I found a better solution with this expression:

txt = thisComp.layer("TEXT1").text.sourceText
if (txt == "PLAYER NAME") 100 else 0

Maybe this can help someone in future.
