Hold on... i just tried a pose slider in v19e and it worked fine. clip4400AmbientColorByPoseSlider.mp4

I'm in 19g (I'm an alpha tester) which should not look any different than 19e. However, I recall there was a bug in v19e regarding pose sliders. I would have to see what you are doing to see if that is what you are encountering. Try version 18 as an experiment. You can run it with your current license. Copy the master0.lic file from your v19 folder to your v18 folder.

I haven't rewatched this yet but the video in this post shows how to change material parameters in a pose.. If that doesn't help, ask here again.

When i say "Make it less than zero" I really meant "make it more than zero" 🙄
