  Finding the name of an effect for scripting

  Posted by James Zwadlo on March 6, 2015 at 11:31 am

  Hi all,

  Probably really simple but when adding an effect into a line of code, how do you find out the exact way it’s meant to be typed?

  Things such as the ‘Numbers’ Effect are just ‘Numbers’ but for example
  ‘Linear Wipe’ is ‘linWipe’ which I had to search around for.

  Is there an easy way to find out what the exact way it’s meant to be typed?

  Many thanks

  I use this indispensable utility script written by Jeff Almasol:
