matchName
The internal name identifying a property’s nature. Identifying properties via their match name can be useful since match names cannot be changed in After Effects.
@property (nonatomic, readonly) NSString *matchNameDiscussion
Note: The Squall match names closely resemble but are not identical to the ones used in After Effects. Typically the ADBE prefix and any white space is removed.
Declared In
SLProperty.h
value
The static value associated with the property.
@property (nonatomic, strong) id valueDiscussion
Some properties such as property groups, gradient and text properties cannot be assigned or return a value and will throw an exception on assignment.
If you are unsure which type of value to assign try reading out the property and log the result.
If the property is animated via keyframes any externally set value will be overwritten whenever the animation is evaluated.
Expression control properties map to the following value types:
3D Point Control -> NSArray Angle Control -> NSNumber Checkbox Control -> NSNumber Color Control -> UIColor Point Control -> NSValue (with CGPoint) Slider Control -> NSNumber
