I have an expression tied to a source text field to create a simple countdown timer. I am using the clockStart and clockStop variables to set start and stop and the countdown will hold atthe stop value. Use is as a video overlay for sports video in Premier. So, I want to turn this into an Essential Graphics template but I can't figure out how to make the two variables reside in Essential Graphics as adjustable parameters. Code is below but the more generic question is how to get an Essential Graphics element to drive an expression value.
Hi Lorim,
You can simply create 2 sliders to link it to clockStart and clockStop and drag the 2 sliders to the essential graphics template to make it adjustable in the Master properties.

Thanks! So simple. Not sure if there is an automatic way to link but copying the expression code from the effects into the code for the source text was what I did to replicate. Thanks for the example as well.
