Remove hidden properties and effects

[Brendon Murphy]

Not quite sure what you’re asking. You can twirl down all the properties for your shape layer in the timeline. Select each one you don’t want and press “delete”. For effects, select the unwanted effect in the “effect controls” panel and press “delete”.

Sorry for not being clear.

I’m looking for a script that does that.

[Dan Ebberts]

How does the script know what to delete?

[Brendon Murphy]

I think I get what you mean. I had a few minutes to get you started – this script will delete all disabled effects on selected layers.

app.beginUndoGroup(“Delete Hidden”);

var activeComp = app.project.activeItem;

var allLayers = activeComp.selectedLayers;

var numLayers = allLayers.length

var layerCheck = allLayers[0];

//make sure something’s selected

if (!layerCheck ) {

alert(“Please select layers inside the active comp.”);

} else {

//CYCLE THROUGH LAYERS

for (var f =0; f <= activeComp.numLayers-1; f ++) {

var currLayer = allLayers[f];

var numEffects = currLayer.Effects.numProperties;

var removeThese = [];

for (var i =1; i <= numEffects; i ++) {

var currEffect = currLayer.effect(i);

if (currEffect.enabled ==false){

removeThese.push(currEffect.name);

//currEffect.remove();

};//end if statement

};//end effects loop

for (var j =0; j <removeThese.length; j ++) {

var currentRemoval = removeThese[j];

currLayer.effect(currentRemoval).remove();

};

};//end layers loop

};

app.endUndoGroup();

Thank you very much!
