Problem referencing same-named properties
Hi all,
I have a problem when referencing a property of an effect – specifically the Motion Blur property of the Saber videocopilot effect.
I use layer(“LAYER”).effect(“Motion Blur”) as a way to reference the property, but the result does not react to the property.
I am pretty sure this is happening because the property Motion Blur exists multiple times in the effect, according to the following hierarchies:
– Distortion/Glow Distortion/Motion Blur
– Distortion/Core Distortion/Motion Blur
– Render Settings/Motion Blur/Motion BlurBut I cannot find a way to reference those different properties.
Is there a way to specify which property we want to select?
The same thing is happening when I try to reference the property in a script using the following line:
mysolid.property(“Effects”).property(“Saber”).property(“Motion Blur”).setValue(1)
I would be grateful if anyone can help on this.
Thanks in advance

I would use the Match name, like this for Glow Distortion / Motion Blur:
.property(“VIDEOCOPILOT LightSaber-0107”)
If you don’t have Jeff Almasol’s fabulous rd_GimmePropPath.jsx script, get it.

Yay, many thanks for the answer Dan!
I actually had the script but never knew.
All the best !
