I just want to remove specific control by name.

myEffects.property("Super Controller").remove();
myEffects.property("Time").remove();
myEffects.property("Value").remove();

 

 

as you can se i want them removed the value listed above.

 

{
var myComp = app.project.activeItem;
var myEffects;
for (var i = 1; i <= myComp.numLayers; i++){
try{
myEffects = myComp.layer(i).Effects;
for (j = myEffects.numProperties; j > 0; j--){
myEffects.property("Time").remove();
myEffects.property("Value").remove();
myEffects.property("Super Controller").remove();
}
}catch(err){
}

var hasEffect = false;

var targetComp = app.project.activeItem.selectedLayers; // Collect the active composition
var selectedLayer = targetComp.selectedLayers; // Collect the selected layers
var layer = comp.selectedLayers[0];
// Identify the target parameter to be deleted

this seems to work however it requires me to click till they are all gone rather than removing it all in one go.

 

var myLayer = app.project.activeItem.layer(1);
var hasEffect = false;

for (var i = 1; i <= myLayer.property("Effects").numProperties; i++) {

    
    
    if (myLayer.property("Effects").property(i).matchName == "ADBE AutoColor") {
         myLayer.property("Effects").property(i).remove(); 
      //  alert("It does!");
      //  hasEffect = true;
      //  break;
    }
}
