Thanks Paul
Very useful script, but I miss the option to delete the effect.

  That’s a good idea. I am working on an update to this script so I’ll have a think about implementing that. In what kind of situation would you want to delete effects using Effect Search?

Hey Paul, this script looks like exactly what I need if it had the ability to either replace effects or delete them. The example I have is as follows:

I used the plugin “Unmult” on a project that I later needed to send over to a friend to work on. When he tried to open it on a different computer the effect came up as missing even though its installed. The effect works once we reapply it but not when it was applied on the original machine. I used this effect over a hundred times and would be great if I could just reapply the effect to all layers at once by essentially replacing the old unmult with the new one.
I have tons of nested comps and to go through it all would be a nightmare. I would gladly support this script and donate if you could get this to work anytime soon.

Thanks a bunch Paul,

Hey Paul… love this script. I also agree it would be nice to delete an effect/multiple effects from your UI. I would also like a quick link to the layer where the effect is applied… currently we have to hunt it down in the project window.

Thanks!

  @tzvi – It mostly works in CS5. You need to choose File > Scripts > Run Script File and select the script. One thing that doesn’t work is the “Save Report” button which will cause an error or hang, so don’t use that. I’m working on a newer version with a dockable UI that is 100% compatible with CS5.
