  • quantity of effects in a layer

    Is there a way to get a value of how many effects are applied on a layer?
    Like as in thisComp.numLayers or thisLayer.numKeys.
    If it’s possible I guess it’s probably a workaround.
    I thought maybe using the ‘loop for’ or try and catch but I couldn’t figure it out.

    thanks in advance!

    This should work:

    thisComp.layer(“Layer 1”)(“Effects”).numProperties
