    ❗IMPORTANT❗For the AE CC2024 or later, 03:37 replace "if" with "else if", except the first "if":
    if (a == 1){effect("Color Control")("Color")}
    else if (a == 2){effect("Color Control 2")("Color")}
    else if (a == 3){effect("Color Control 3")("Color")}

    This is the first AE tutorial in my channel. Please comment and let me know what After Effects or animation problems do you have. I may consider making a video to answer that next! Thanks for watching!

    Hi, this is what I looking for, great tutorial! I have an issue, I followed the steps several times, but it didn't work, I just keep seeing same warning (not defined value used on expression).

      Hi, could you describe a bit in details and share the whole expression?

    Hi there! This tutorial is perfect for what i'm trying to do. However, i keep getting an expression error:
    "Error at Line 1
    Undefined value used in expression (could be an out of range array subscript?)"
    My expression is written as follows:
    a = comp("MAIN").layer("MASTER CONTROLLER").effect("Dropdown Menu Control")("Menu")
    if (a == 1){effect("Color Control 1")("Color")}
    if (a == 2){effect("Color Control 2")("Color")}
    if (a == 3){effect("Color Control 3")("Color")}
    if (a == 4){effect("Color Control 4")("Color")}
    if (a == 5){effect("Color Control 5")("Color")}
    Strangely enough, the last colour control in the expression seems to work, but the rest feedback in the above error?

      Thank you for your question. This tutorial is made in older version of AE. I just tried again in AE CC2024 and I have the same problem as you. After doing research, I figure it out the solution. Please try to replace the 2nd to 5th "if" with "else if".
      if (a==1).....
      else if (a==2)....
      else if (a==3)....
      else if (a==4)....
      else if (a==5)....
