So your bottom lines is simply using the array from HSL and converting into RGB. So your first array is hue, second saturation and 3rd lightness.

Hope this helps. Just remember if you are going to use a slider to control these, to divide them by the maximum value these elements that they can go up to and you’ll be able to adjust these using sliders.

c = effect(“Color Control”)(“Color”)

lite = .25; // lightness factor
sat = 1; // Saturation factor
hue = .25; // hue factor

hsl = rgbToHsl(c);
hslToRgb([hsl[0]*hue,hsl[1]*sat,hsl[2]*lite,hsl[3]])

I don’t know how to affect hex colour, but you can do it using RGB

https://forums.creativecow.net/docs/forums/post.php?forumid=227&postid=30524&univpostid=30524&pview=t

essentially if you put this into you color fill

c = effect(“Color Control”)(“Color”)
f = .25; // lightness factor
hsl = rgbToHsl(c);
hslToRgb([hsl[0],hsl[1],hsl[2]*f,hsl[3]])

and c = your main color and then change the f value, to change the lightness. So when you change the color fill of your main value. It’s lighten or darken the values of all the others.

I’m not sure what you are trying to do with the lookAt, as I’ve never used it before. But it works fine in text source.

target=thisComp.layer(“circle”);
s = sub(target.transform.position,transform.position);
if(length(s)>=100){
lookAt(target.transform.position,transform.position);
}

It copies and pastes to the same layer. But if you tweak it. This should do the trick.

I’m not sure what you are trying to achieve, but…If you are trying to alter the starting point of the opacity. They you want to play with time as an expression. So the below allows you to define start time and it will animate over 1 second from 0-100.

t = thisComp.layer(“White Solid 3”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”);
linear(time,t,t + 1,0,100);

This link has everything you really need to find and move vertices in extend script.

hope this helps look for what you’re after.

Just seen Andrei has answered you, hahaha. So ignore me.

[Scott Mcgee]

This is kind of what you want. I don’t have anything that caps it at a percentage, but hopefully it’ll get you started.

posTwo = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 2").transform.position.key(1).value[1];
currentPos = thisComp.layer("Shape Layer 2").transform.position[1];

x = transform.scale[0] - (100 - (currentPos/posTwo)*100);
y = transform.scale[1];
[x,y]

I can’t figure a way in csv, unless someone can jump in but it you label your number as string in Json.

example

{
“Number”: 1000000,
“Text”: “10000000”
}

So Number returns back 32768, but Text returns 1000000, but as a string. So if you are wanting it to work as a number you just need to do the below method to create it into an integer. Or just leave be as it’ll work as a string.

parseInt(thisComp.layer(“test.json”)(“Data”)(“Outline”)(“Text”))

Hey Thiery

I’m a little confused. Why do you want to turn your video/footage item into a placeholder, then turn it into a proxy sequence?

Am I missing something?

A proxy has to be replaced with a file that you want to use as a proxy. Otherwise it’s a placeholder. There for, if you’re wanting to replace with a proxy file. Then you need to point it to a file that it replaces itself with.

So when I’m working with 4k. I’ll have my lowRes proxies that I’ll mirror and use that folder until I export and replace them all back with the 4k HiRes versions. If that’s the case. Skip out the middle man of the placeholder and tell it to turn all your video files based on location and to match name for name and replace all as proxy if that makes sense.
