Comments | | | |  | Expression with Checkbox control
by Roger Eaton 73464023 |
Chad,
Since the checkbox control returns a 1 or a 0, why not use an expression of thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox")*100 for the opacity. Then, when the checkbox is off, 0*100=0, and on...1*100=100. For the inverse, you could just do 100-thisComp.layer("Null 1").effect("Checkbox Control")("Checkbox")*100, so when the checkbox it off, 100-0*100=100, and on...100-1*100=0. | | | | |
