    Can’t able to understand what does this Pseudo phase stand for. Please help

    mid = thisComp.layer("Chromatic").effect("Fast Chromatic")
    ("Pseudo/eA1e9c3bbcURV-0006");
    p = thisComp.layer("Chromatic").effect("Fast Chromatic")
    ("Pseudo/eA1e9c3bbcURV-0001")*-1;
    if(mid==1)
    {p=0}
    else
    {p}

    Those appear to be the match names of two parameters of a pseudo effect.

    “Pseudo/” doesn’t have any affect on the expression, it’s part of the match name for that parameter, defined when the pseudo effect was created. When creating a pseudo effect, if you begin the effect’s match name with “Pseudo/” any users of that effect (or preset including that effect) won’t have to have the effect defined in their Preset Effects.xml file in order to avoid getting “missing effect” errors.
