Found it.

GetContainingTimelineID in the PrSDKAESupport.h does the job. It gives me a unique identifier for every effect.

Hello,

You can get GUIDs from the PPro API; all sequence objects have a 'sequenceID' member.

An effect, by itself is not a sequence item. A color matte becomes a object once you put it in the project, so that would work.

var activeSeq = app.project.activeSequence;

if (activeSeq){

var guid = activeSequence.sequenceID;

}

I'm not using ExtendsScript, I'm using AfterEffects SDK for this plugin
