How to get a unique id of an effect in PremierePro SDK. If not, a unique id of a color matte would also work. How to get it using the AfterEffects SDK?

Found it. 

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

What would your effect do, if it could get the unique ID of an effect or color matte?
