    Hi there,

    I just tested this and it works for me. A couple of things to check. First of all, make sure that you drag the Slider to the Essential Graphics panel, not the Source Text property, as this will not work if an expression is controlling it.

    Make sure to save it and export the template if you make changes to it.

    I also used Hold keyframes to animate between numbers as the Source text value can't interpolate.

    The only other thing I could suggest if these don't work is for you to send me a screenshot of your Essential Graphics panel so I can take a look please :-)

    Is it in the Essential Graphics panel if I add an property of key franme has already done ,then import it in PR, the property of the original keyframes will be damage?

    Maybe this is why I change the parameters ,and damage the original keyframes at the same time.

    I used to think it will only change the parameters of the last key frame,when I Move the pointer to the last keyframe and put the property to the essential graphics panel.

    Without better and more specific info nobody can tell you much. Provide screenshots of how it's actually set up in AE and what property your slider is supposed to control.

After opening the essential graphics in pr...
