    Hi guys,
    I have a question about scripting in after effects

    as we know, we can use this codes to apply an effect -like fast blur- to a layer or selected layer:

    var mayEffect = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers[0].Effects.addProperty("Fast Blur");

    It`s ok, I know.
    But my question: how can I change the name of effect with scripts???!!!
    for example change the name of Fast Blur to My Blur in Effects Control Panel just with scripts…
