    Counting the number of ‘Effects’ present on a specific Layer.

    Posted by Stephan Zammit on August 24, 2022 at 7:29 am

    Hi, does someone knows if it is possible to get the total number of effects on the layer. Something similar to numKeys, but for the total number of effects.

    I am trying to find the command for it, but can’t seem to find anything related to it.

    Many thanks!

    Something similar to this 

    layer("LayerName")("Effects").numProperties

    This works both in expressions and in scripts
