Description
Function to insert an effect at a specific position in a destination bus. The effect to be inserted is determined by its Effect object. You can use getEffect or findEffects to determine the effect. The destination bus is determined by its Bus object. You can use getBus or findBusses to determine the destination bus. The position is the number indexing the effects in the destination bus. The new effect will be inserted before the specified position. To add the effect at the end, use appendEffect instead.
An Element object can only have one parent. It cannot be child of multiple parents. Therefore, an Element object you retrieved from the running plug-in instance must be removed before it can be inserted again. The Element objects that you retrieve through loadPreset or loadPresetAsync can be inserted freely, because these functions create a copy of the Element objects when reading them.
Available in: Controller.
Arguments
