Modifying and enhancing pick-whip expressionsOnce you use the pick whip to create an expression, you can perform simple edits to alter the expression's effect. For example, you can add a scale factor to the expression to increase or decrease the effect.

For example, you could use the math function /360*100 to change an expression's range from 0-360 to 0-100. This would be useful if you wanted to convert the values of a 360-degree dial to a slider that is measured in percentages. |
