I'll give it a shot. As far as I can remember you need to convert the rgba values from sampleImage to hsl (hue, saturation, luminance(or is it lightness?). And then you can read that value.

Hi, I have been looking around everywhere for a way to do this. Essentially I would like to be able to control the speed of a null using a slider. Something similar to: v=effect("main_speed")("Slider"); xu=transform.position.valueAtTime(time-0.04); xv=xu+v; xv; But something that...

Thanks Dan, that worked perfectly!

Hi, My college math is failing me. I would like to convert the angle control value so that: 0°-90° = 0-100 90°-180° = 100-0 180°-270° = 0-100 270°-360° = 100-0 360°-450° = 0-100..... ...and so on. I would like the angle controller to be able to beyond 1 rotation, ie. 2x+120° and beyond. I...

I had to get my office to set up a special email account for it though that didnt require TLS etc... But at least it works now :-) very happy about it, and such a useful script. I was wondering ...
