need a simple example of a UI that controls a parameter
Posted: March 4th, 2010, 7:43 pm
Hi all -
I'm brand new to scripting AE, and I'm having a difficult time getting a handle on some basic stuff. So I would be forever grateful if someone could post a (very) simple example of how one might make a dockable UI panel containing a slider that directly controls and updates some variable parameter (to an effect, or a transform parameter - or anything really) on an existing layer of an existing composition.
I know that it is easy enough to do this kind of thing using Expression Controls, but I would like to centralize certain controls for multiple compositions into a single panel, and I can't think of how else to do it - and I was unable to find any tutorials or examples that are simple enough for me to wrap my brain around.
Thanks in advance.
