How to create a custom controller preset?

[jasonw4753550]

How to create something like this: https://imgur.com/a/TPo78nn ? There are some controllers like this under user presets, but nowhere near what I want i.e. Can't rename the options and can't add more controllers under one effect. Thanks in advance

Adding new types of control is only possible through compiled plugins. There's no scripting access to the low-level user interface.

You can do it with pseudo effects. The easiest way is probably Pseudo Effect Maker - aescripts + aeplugins - aescripts.com

Just so you know the limitations involved - you can add Expression controllers to a layer and use them to control properties via expressions. These controllers can be renamed, in the same way that any effect can be renamed. However the properties within them cannot be renamed. As Szalem helpfully points out, you can do what you have asked with Pseudo Effect Maker. This is definitely your best bet 🙂
