color offset and expressions
Posted: May 5th, 2010, 1:47 pm
Hi
I have a question regarding expressions and colors in AE.
What I'd like to do is to be able to link a color value from one property to another and have some form of controlled offset.
Say for instance that I have a color slot of red. I link another color property to it and have the exact same red. Now I would like to have it a bit more/less saturated , a slight variation of hue or a different color value but still linked to the original red. So when I change my master color slot it is handed down to the expressions in my comp. How would you go about setting up such an expression and have controlled over how I make my offset.
I can multiply the whole value(*1,5) and I get a different result but I am not quite sure what is happening.
Thanks a bunch, been thinking about this for quite some time.
