    Here at the top of my Effects Controls:

    As far as I know, there’s no way to do that with a pseudo effect.

    Do you mean if you create a script panel rather than a pseudo effect? That’s all in Adobe’s JavaScript Tools Guide.

    In AE: File > Scripts > Open Script Editor

    In ExtendScript Editor: Help > JavaScript Tools Guide CC

    In the guide: Edit > Advanced Search > “Displaying Images”
