Levels of control by the Expression

Is it possible to use a slider to control the various attributes that make up a control via expression levels?  I'm able to put through script and did so.  However, the stopwatch that allows me to create an expression is related to the histogram as a whole, not its individual components, i.e. entry entry white, black, etc., gamma.  Is this possible or am I barking the wrong tree here?  The goal is to control several levels applied to individual clips in a place nice and neat.  An adjustment layer will not work for me because of the overlay.  In addition, I don't want my background must be made by adjustment, some of the pieces that make up my objects in the foreground.

You must use the individual level controls...

  • Control of the expression / Slider control works with the percentage?

    For example, I want to do something with keyframes, so opted to use "regulator toslide ," but is now defined by the "cursor", if I put the wiggleexpression (2.5) and place 2 on the regulator to behind the scenes, knowing that the value will be replaced by the value of "slider" so in the case of the control slide was "10". , would look like this: wiggle (10.5)

    But I want to know is if the control of the expression of origin by a percentage and not a replaced, for the value of the slider control.

    Thank you!

    If the amount of your max value is set, then by creating the cursor to drive the percentage of this number requires a few simple calculations.

    Degree of accuracy desired percentage to be hover would require a small change that in mathematics.

    This example allows you to animate a percentage of '2' frequency (maximum value) in agitation, but allows the range '5 ': stay

    mV = 2; maximum value

    PERC = (effect ("Slider Control")("Slider")/100);  makes a percentage since the slider value by using 0-100

    Wiggle(MV*PERC,5)

    explanation:

    There are several ways to do so.

    The slider is unlimited, so you can define OTHER rules in your expression, but to keep it simple:

    You must multiply your maximum value of your "perc."

    However, we want to transform the number 'perc' in a fraction.

    A simple way is to divide the amount of cursor by 100.

    Multiply your max value with the result of your cursor (/ 100) and you have your percentage.

    (* You can use fractional numbers to animate instead of this, but the cursor is easier to control in this way.)

  • Is there a control of the expression for the opening of a string?

    Hello

    Just curious, is there a control of the expression that allows a user to enter a string that could be read by the expression?  I don't see on the submenu Sub "> Effects options for expressions", but thought I would see if anyone has any ideas how to proceed without having to reference an external text file.

    Thank you for your time and help!

    Yes, it's possible, of course, and to make things even less intrusive, I couldn't access comment a layer attribute rather than rename them the current layer.

    But in my situation I am desirous of an AE to select artist in a closed set of channels.  I don't want to enter their own data for fear that there is something wrong with the formatting, etc.  I'd rather have a drop down of sorts for the selection.  Thus, creating null items in the project Panel, naming them with unique names, then dragging in the model and by applying an expression control 'Control of the layer' layer in quesiton, AE artist can choose one of these layers, and then my script can read the value of the control layer name.

    You want it to start at the level of this right to the point, is - layer? If so, this should work:

    beginCount = 0;
    stopCount = 100;

    beginTime = inPoint;

  • Serious accidents with control of the expression spacing based on z-position of the layer

    I have massive crashes when you use this script expression below. I have just a text layer where I control the depandend letter-spacing of the current z position. From z = 0 to-500 (directly in front of the camera), the values are transformed by easyOut() from 0-10. So far, that's all.

    Now when I duplicate this line of text several times and start to change its position, then the accident happens. Text layers more I have the sooner the crash. This occurs when the edition therefore not made involved. In the preview is the applied standard rendering engine.

    Unfortunately, there is no specific error message - it indicates just that AFX no longer works and is now closed.

    My system features:

    I have 8 GB of RAM and 10 GB disk cache. That should be enough for a text flying around.

    I use the latest Version of CC of AFX 2015.1 13.6.1.6 running on Windows Ultrabook (Lenovo Yoga 1) 8.1. No CUDA detected so the preview is rendered by the CPU.

    Anyone has an idea why this happens? Help is very appreciated.

    max_spacing = 10;
    z_position = transform.position[2];
    var new_spacing = easeOut(z_position, -500, 0, max_spacing, 0);
    text.animator("Animator 1").property.trackingAmount = new_spacing;
    

    This is my test scene:

    http://Augenpulver-design.de/Exchange/tmp/AFX_Expression_Crash_Scene.zip

    You create a hole of logic by referencing the layer itself probably. Should not happen, then I would call it a bug. Probably to do with flaky matrix code also used to smack and a few other things. Try to use a Null value and parent the text to it. This would work much better.

  • Use the commands of the expression to preset animations...

    I have several preset animations that contain expressions with expression control sliders. When I apply the animation preset to a layer, it adds the commands of expressions in the effect controls panel as usual and everything works fine.

    However, if I add another animation preset to the same layer there is no add a double set of options for expressions (with a number appended to the name 2) instead of just replace existing ones. I realize that the preset detected a duplicate name, that's why the 2 has been added... but the real expression has not been updated to use the new name of control of expression. So basically, the expression still refers to the original name and completely ignores the game duplicate of the controls in the expression that was created.

    If anyone knows a way to get an animation preset to replace or upgrade options for existing expressions that use the same name?

    You must rename your controls of expression. This will solve the problem if all names are unique. If you apply the same predefined animation twice for the same layer and this preset contains options for expressions then you will get duplicate with the added number names. There is no way around that.

  • I want to use the expression editor control in a DLL VC ++ how?

    Hello

    as mentioned I want to use the expression editor control in my DLL written with VSC ++ 2005 MFC. But I came across some problems:

    If I simply add the ExpressionEdit control in the toolbar to my dialog box then the dialog box will appear not during execution. As soon as I remove the control from the dialog box appears.

    In the examples of TS is a called "TCL" (...) Instruments\TestStand national 4.1.1\Examples\Tcl\source\EditSubstep). It is programmed in C++ and uses the expression editor control.

    The original dll works fine, but as soon as I compile the editsubstep with my VS 2005 I get a runtime error (see image).

    What should I do to be able to use this control?

    Does anyone have an example of a job for me?

  • VMWare Workstation v.6.5.2 suppresses the display of controls in Microsoft Expression Blend

    I tried to install Expression Blend on different OS in VMWare Workstation 6.5.2 v. and got the same result.

    Any dialog box displays only the default button that has the focus.  The rest of the controls on a dialog box are invisible; Although they respond to the keyboard (Alt + key short) assuming that we can guess the short key of the invisible control.   After completing the installation of mixture by using the shortcut key controls of the dialogs in the installed software appears unless the mouse is hovered over them.

    I had this problem with VMWare Workstation 6.5.2 Vista Ultimate, Windows XP Pro or Win 7RC running.  All of them display the same result for both Expression Blend v. 2 and 3.

    No idea why?  Is there a display setting in VMWare that could cause orders are invisible until this that over?

    I had the same problem, I solved it by uncheck "Accelerate 3D graphics (DirectX 9.0c)" and then properly installed Expression and display correctly.

  • First she something comparable to EI ' levels... of the dual controls?

    CS5... I experience the effects of Correction color of EI and found their 'double command levels...' above for the look I was going to, more than those "ProcAmp" first which I was using. PPs "ProcAmp" worked better than PPs 'Levels' for me.

    I wanted to raise the black levels specifically without darkening the rest of the image. I always Desaturate or tones dark / highlights to fill in video using "ProcAmp" or "levels... double command"... but find everything what I Add... using a correction based on EI ' levels... dual controls "works better than the PP"ProcAmp"and"Levels".". "

    Y at - it any color correction PP that works as well as AE "' levels... dual controls" on specifically marking the darkest dark areas? "

    This is to create what I perceive as more of a look of film, where black areas are pitch black...

    The effect in Ae is called 'Individual controls levels.'   The levels PR effect is very similar to the version of individual controls in Ae, but without the histogram incorporated into the card.

    You can use several sheets of color correction to make black "pitch black".

    The "film look" is most often associated with a s - log curve, you can easily get with the RGB curves effect using the main command.

  • No Volume control on the speaker Airplay of Apple TV app?

    Apple TV is set to the output on the AirPort Express.

    You can control the Volume of airport exit holding the Center button on the remote airport until the menu is displayed at the top, in selecting the speakers tab, scrolling to the airport, then using left/right button that moves the green light and makes the audio output to the optical connector upper or lower the airport.

    However the sound volume bar does not respond when you do exactly the same thing in the Apple TV iOS remote control application.

    Y at - it a trick to make react?

    Is this a bug or a coding error?

    Logically, the application should be able to control all the menus/submenus of the Apple TV.

    Apple TV output to a specified volume. The volume is controlled by your TV, speaker bar, amplifier, etc. Siri distance includes an IR remote, which can usually be trained to control the volume of the TV, but the iOS app can only output IR I don't have an airport, but probably it outputs to a volume determined in the same way, and you control the volume either at the level of the amp/speaker, or to the source if you play from iTunes.

  • How to record the expression as well as the preset?

    I am trying to understand phrases and predefined animations.

    I have a unique slider control, which controls the opacity of a layer, where the value is the value of the slider + slightly modified by using an expression.

    I can save the slider as a preset, but the words get lost.

    Yes, it is so fundamental that it can be, that's the way I like to learn. And as far as I know, the expressions can be registered as well as predefined animations. I hope someone can tell me how!

    The reason that the expression is not deleted when you delete the cursor is that the expression is only read the value of the cursor, the cursor does not know that the expression is. There is no reverse link.

    You can create more professional effects, but which involves editing the xml file that indicates what are the effects are applied to AE. This would still not generate a reverse link to an expression.

    Activation or deactivation of an effect only changes how things are rendered. If you have pictures on a lens Flair brightness key and you clear the effect the Flair of the objective will not be rendered, but the keyframe values will continue to be available to an expression. Still, there is no reverse link. As a cursor of expression is not a change in the values of pixels of a layer switch FX shoot on or off has no effect on an expression, the value reading.

    The 'trick' in the creation of a preset that uses expressions and withdrew to the 'effect' is removed from the control of the effects window only to write expressions for properties that are available in the effects used. You could do this by applying the effect transform or effect levels of individual controls or the CC Composite effect to the layer and by writing the expression here instead of placing your expression in the opacity of the layer property. Take a look at this screenshot.

    The problem is that I know that I can write the labview NXT program to run the NXT brick, but it would be very complicated to use - the best way would be to take direct control over the engine via NXT - therefore when I want the engine to move a few degrees it should not start the program in the nxt brick do the program level LAbview... IS this possible? Can I use brick NXT as a controller of engine itself?

    Thank you

    Marek

    Marek,

    This is possible in 2009 in Module NXT and NXT earlier toolkits.  In 2009, just write your code NXT in a VI that is not the target of the NXT (e.g. it is targeted at the Instance of the Application My Computer/hand).  The VI NXT know when they are targeted on the computer and automatically send direct orders to the NXT brick via USB or Bluetooth.

    In previous versions of the tool NXT, you must use the Direct screw of NXT to accomplish the same task, which is not as transparent as the new method, but all works the same.  Please let us know if you have any questions about how to apply this.

    See you soon,.

  • Double digital precision control using the D:H:M format has problem increment/decrement

    I have a VI that allows users to define the range of dates in a control, and it does not work as it should.  Specifically, the control is the standard digital control of the modern palette, this is the data type is Double, and it is in the format % <%D:%H:%M> t.  The problem is that when I have the cursor in the hours (two digits highlighted), when I use the keyboard keys arrow up and down or buttons increase/decrease control, instead of the increment or decrement, the minutes.  When I have the cursor over the days, the inc/dec intervenes on the hours.  Has no way to increase/decrease the days in the control either.  In addition, if the cursor the cursor in the line rather than a selection, changing values are the values to the right of the cursor on the line - even the opposite of the features of LabVIEW with other digital formats.

    In addition, the left-right arrow keys won't move the selection / cursor in the control, except to spend hours to days - no other movement is possible.

    Is this a known issue?  I'm the see in 2010 SP1 and LV LV 2012

    I have attached a VI composed solely of misconduct control.

    In addition, I tried digital controls system palettes, classic and Express and they do the same thing (or worse).

    I guess at this point, I'll need to use separate controls for each field, the event handlers for the arrows, etc., but the complexity which adds is almost painful.  If anyone has another idea, I'm all ears.

    Thank you,

    Erik

    took an hour and built a work around for the problem.  No was not as bad as I thought originally that are curious differences between the Terminal command, local variables and value - namely, the Value property is the value after the event, while others have the value of pre-event for the control.  This always works for my application.

    This version is in LV 2010 SP1, which is as far as I can go.

  • can I disable the close full screen when the volume control on the volume slider?

    Information system: HP Pavilion dv7-3065-dx Entertainment PC running Windows 7 Home Premium Service Pack 1

    Information problem: whenever I'm viewing in full screen and I change the volume, fullscreen application is minimized and the desktop with pop-up windows volume level indicator

    For example: I watch a video in full screen and decide the volume is too low or high. I use the remote control supplied with the PC or the volume above the keyboard slider. Setting the volume level, the movie gets completely minimized and the desktop. Soon after, the volume level indicator appears on the screen. I then have to click on a program to open, and then press the button full screen again... Is it possible that I can disable the process and adjust volume without changing the display?

    Hello

    The only way to avoid this is to uninstall HP MediaSmart SmartMenu (listed in programs and features) - this is the utility that is responsible for the OSD volume which in turn, reduces to a minimum the current screen.

    Kind regards
