In order to give the user control over certain aspects of the template (via

online editor⁠

) your template needs to have a 'Project Settings' layer. This is a simply a disabled adjustment layer with expression controls applied as effects.

For example, if you wish to make the background color accessible to the user, create a

'Color Control'⁠

, give it an appropriate name (as prescribed by the general

naming conventions⁠

) and connect the 'Fill' effect (or anything else) via expression to the newly created

'Color Control'⁠

Supported Expression Controls:

⁠

Color Control⁠

- Do not create a color control for every graphic element. It’s fine if you create color controls for the main elements, but aim to have fewer than 10. For example, if you have a template with 3 visible colors, there should be 3 color controls and additional one or two for logo color and tagline.

⁠

Slider Control⁠

- Allows the user to change float values between 0 and 100 by default. If you wish to define a custom value range, please look under

Slider⁠

⁠

Checkbox Control⁠

- Allows the user to toggle something on or off, e.g. elements, effects, etc.

⁠

Angle Control⁠

- Allows the user to change float values between 0 and 360. This is displayed just like in After Effects, as degrees on a circle.

⁠

Point Control⁠

- Allows the user to click a point on the screen and adjust where something is located.

⁠

Dropdown Control⁠

- Allows the user to choose between a number of predefined options. You can define these options in your template by setting them as enum values.

This is not the way.

Try clicking the ⋯ next to your doc name or using a keyboard shortcut (

CtrlP

) instead.
