Text node to be linked with the gain value

[fxguy]

Im trying to get the text node to render out with a gain value linked.

But I dont have that option in the text node where I can link the copied values... so what could be the way I need to fix this asap so that I need to setup the pipeline...

You need the gain value as a output of the message field in the text node or to control the color gain of the text it self?

I am looking for gain value as a output of the message filed in the text node

[jan_dee]

something like

[value Nodename.knob]

should do the trick.. this will print the value you choose..if it's that what you're after

[fxguy]

I want to print the RGB value saperately..howz that possible?

[mdc]

if you write [value Grade1.white] the rgba values will be displayed, if you clicked on the little "4" in the grade properties.

or you write [value Grade1.white.r] for red, [value Grade1.white.g] for green and [value Grade1.white.b] for blue. [value Grade1.white.a] is for the alpha gain

[rueter]

[value Nodename.knob.field]
like:
red: [value Grade1.white.r]
green: [value Grade1.white.g]
blue: [value Grade1.white.b]

thank u its working fine now..

But there are couple of things that I need to do like printing the current time like 10:30 .. I mean I want to print the system time.

You can also use input instead of the node name so you can re-use that without having to edit the node name in each instance, like: [value input.white.r] and so on. This way the text node will get the value of a white knob in the upstream grade node that is connected to it no matter what name it has.

To print the time you can use [date %H:%M:%S]
