I'm trying to add a levels effect to a composition and set the value for "Input Black" and "Input White"
However, when I run the script in After effects I see values thousand above what I put in.
Here is my code:
myComp.property("Effects").property("Levels").property("Input Black").setValue(118);
myComp.property("Effects").property("Levels").property("Input White").setValue(141);
The value I get in After Effects are:
Input Black = 30090
Input White = 35955
On my last line of my code, I even added an alert to tell me the value of input white and it said it was 141 so I know nothing later in the code is changing it.
What am I not understanding?
setValue() to levels effect not returning expected value

Dan Ebberts answered my question on creative cow.
"Colors need to be normalized to be between zero and one. So this should work to get 141:
myComp.property("Effects").property("Levels").property("Input White").setValue(141/255);"
