AE Scripting : Removing a specific effect by matchName
Hey there!
I’m trying to write a code where I can erase a specific Pseudo Effect using matchNames,
I know I need to define :thisEffect
but how?
Here’s my trial :
{
var comp = app.project.activeItem;
var getEffects;
for (var i = 1; i <= comp.numLayers; i++){
getEffects= myComp.layer(i).Effects;
for (j = getEffects.numProperties; j > 0; j--){
if(thisEffect.matchName == "Pseudo/matchName") {
getEffects.property(j).remove();
}
}
}
}It says “thisEffect” is undefined.

In that code snippet, you never define myComp (should just be ‘comp’) or thisEffect (should reference something from ‘getEffects’) , so Ae doesn’t know what to do.
This code should work — let me know if you have any questions!
{
var comp = app.project.activeItem;
var getEffects;
for (var i = 1; i <= comp.numLayers; i++) {
getEffects = comp.layer(i).Effects;
for (var j = getEffects.numProperties; j > 0; j--) {
if (getEffects.property(j).matchName == "Pseudo/matchName") {
getEffects.property(j).remove();
}
}
}
}
