How do I change this setting? I’m not sure I see what you’re referring to exactly

[Lee Pines]

Yes, sorry! I wasn’t sure what info to give.

The effect is an outerglow on text with CC light rays in an adjustment layer.

I’m using a Macbook M3.

I managed to render the project in After and the .mov looks correct. But rendering as an mp4 didn’t work. So i think it may have to do with the alpha as another commenter suggested. But I don’t know how to adjust the project so that it looks right in premiere

Thanks for this tip! It’s unbelievably helpful. It turns out it was an effect on the text layer that was slowing it down

I may have figured something out. The script works fine with one color, but when I add another line, that’s when it breaks. Here’s the whole script. Maybe you can find out where I went wrong?

slider = Math.round(thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Slider Control”)(“Slider”));

colorValue1 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control”)(“Color”);
colorValue2 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 2”)(“Color”);
colorValue3 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 3”)(“Color”);
colorValue4 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 4”)(“Color”);
colorValue5 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 5”)(“Color”);
colorValue6 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 6”)(“Color”);
colorValue7 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 7”)(“Color”);
colorValue8 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 8”)(“Color”);
colorValue9 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 9”)(“Color”);
colorValue10 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 10”)(“Color”);
colorValue11 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 11”)(“Color”);
colorValue12 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 12”)(“Color”);
colorValue13 = thisComp.layer(“Color”).effect(“Color Control 13”)(“Color”);

if(slider==1){colorValue1};
if(slider==2){colorValue2};
if(slider==3){colorValue3};
if(slider==4){colorValue4};
if(slider==5){colorValue5};
if(slider==6){colorValue6};
if(slider==7){colorValue7};
if(slider==8){colorValue8};
if(slider==9){colorValue9};
if(slider==10){colorValue10};
if(slider==11){colorValue11};
if(slider==12){colorValue12};
if(slider==13){colorValue13};

Thanks for the help. I tried the comp name script you suggested, but the same error comes up. What happens is: if I open the project alone, the script works. But, if I import the project into another project, the script breaks

[Lee Pines]

Thanks! How would I do that?

[Lee Pines]

No, I keep it in the composition and drop the composition into a new comp. It’s weird, there’s nothing else in the whole project with the same name

[Lee Pines]

Thanks! The problem isn’t with this part of the code, it’s with the first line. I can’t seem to make it connect to another layer properly. The code works fine without thisComp.layer(“Color”) so I’m wondering what’s wrong with this part of the code

[Lee Pines]

Thanks for the response. The problem isn’t the slider, it’s connecting it to another layer. BUT, how would you make the dropdown?
