3 Easy Ways to Use Dropdown Menus in After Effects
What are dropdown menus in After Effects and how do they work?
How can we link them to the properties of our layers?
In this video, I explain this, with three common cases in which we can use these expression controls, and you will learn how and where to save the values that you select from these lists.
• Conditional statement to select between the opacity of layers:
e = Here you link your dropdown menu;
if (e == index) {100} else {0}
• Example of conditional statement to select the value of a variable:
e = Here you link your dropdown menu;
if(e == 1){
variable =value if 1;
} else if (e == 2){
variable = value if 2;
} else if (e == 3){
variable = value if 3;
} else if (e == 4){
variable = value if 4;
} else if (e == 5){
variable = value if 5;
} else if (e == 6){
variable = value if 6;
}
