  using the Effect parrameters

  Posted by Laurence Rietdijk on April 19, 2008 at 5:43 am

  Here’s the line of code I tried:

  x = thisComp.layer(“Comp 1”).sampleImage(thisComp.layer(“Adjustment Layer 2”).Effects.Lens Flare.Flare Center, [3.5,3.5], true, time);

  but Layers dont have any properties of methods named Effects
  Plus I doubt there are ment to be spaces within the names as in “Lens Flare” and “Flare Center”

  What is the correct way to refer to the the values of parrameters in Effects, such as Lens flare, that heve been aplied to layers?

  The easiest way is probably just to expose the effect in the timeline a and then use the pick whip (the little spiral thing) next to the expression. That will generate the correct syntax for you.
