Thanks yeah, now that I poke around it's clearly something else I'm doing wrong... I think I have it working. But now I'm curious. Why does this work:

var vppath = curLayer.Effects.addProperty("VP-Path");

vppath.property("Azimuth").expression = ("50");

var vp = curLayer.Effects.addProperty("Virtual Projector");

vp.property("Azimuth").expression = ("50");

But this doesn't:

var vppath = curLayer.Effects.addProperty("VP-Path");

var vp = curLayer.Effects.addProperty("Virtual Projector");

vp.property("Azimuth").expression = ("50");

vppath.property("Azimuth").expression = ("50");

(FWIW, VP-Path is the custom effect, Virtual Projector is a plugin effect.)

Thanks,

Drew

Should work the same way. Pseudo effects still have matchNames and properties just like regular effects. What's your code look like, if you don't mind sharing.

I'm trying to create a script that adds expressions to a custom pseudo-effect. I'm using the same syntax that successfully adds an expression to a regular effect, but ExtendScript Toolkit gives me errors. Am I doing something wrong, or is this just not possible now?
