  • Target an effect without the name of it

    I have a expression in source text that apply the name of the first effect to source text.

    But I want to add other effects before it. How do I target this specific effect? I have a effect named “Nslider” after this effect (I dont know if its possible to subtract 1 of this “Nslider”).

    thisLayer.effect(1).name

    I’m not sure, but you might be after something like this:

    effect(effect("Nslider").propertyIndex-1).name
