Today, we'll take a look at the new dropdown menu controls and text expressions in After Effects 2020 (v17.0). We'll discuss how to link up and use the dropdown menu to rig up a project template.

Using intuitive menus will make it much easier to streamline the workflow and make it easier for editors and collaborators to modify the project using Essentials Graphics. In the tutorial, we're changing mainly the color of certain elements, but you can use the same idea to modify other properties, like text size, layout placement, opacity, effects, etc.
