selecting or adding effects fast

[Filip Vandueren]

Adding a specific script is very easy. See my post here:

Adding the next or previous is not a 1 step trick however.

I suppose you want switch from say

Thanks for the answers.

Actually I meant how it would be possible to switch the selection from one effect to another – ctrl+up/downarror switches the selected layer only. I found out that one way to select another effect by the keyboard be pressing f3 first, but I want to be able to select another property from the timeline window. Is it possible to do this with a script? selectedProperties is a read-only and therefore I find it troublesome.

Is there a complete list of the script-names of all the effects?

thanks in advance,

Jeff Almasol made a reference list here:

https://redefinery.com/ae/fundamentals/effects/matchnames.php

This only includes all the Adobe Effects.

Also if (on the mac) you press (Cmd+Shift+HELP) after effects writes a file with version info of all your plugins, but not their matchnames.

BTW you can simply select a property by setting it’s .selected property to true,
it will be added to the selectedProperties list.

I’m not sure if After Effects will then automatically show it in the timeline though.
