OSC not working on stacked transform effects

OSC can't control the second transform effect that I apply to a clip.

the fist control works using this
/composition/layers/1/clips/1/video/effects/transform/positionx

the second control sows in the expanded income messages window but it does not affect the effect
/composition/layers/1/clips/1/video/effects/transform2/positionx

This works however
/composition/selectedclip/video/effects/transform2/effect/positionx

Using rev 6.0.5 60699, windows 10

Yes, this is because the built in Transform is not an effect you can remove.
It sits in the effect chain, thus the leading /effect/ in the address,
but the Transform effect you can add to the chain - and all other effects btw - have the different address for the parameters inside.

yes, the OSC address that is listed in the mapping does not actually work. I seems to be a bug.

/composition/layers/1/clips/1/video/effects/transform/positionx
is an address for the built in Transform, which is not an effect, and is the first transform in the chain.

/composition/selectedclip/video/effects/transform2/effect/positionx
works for a Transform Effect, that is the second transform in the chain in the selected clip, but is an Effect.

/composition/layers/1/clips/1/video/effects/transform2/positionx
works for the built in Transform which is not an Effect, and is the second Transform in the chain

I see how this can be confusing, but note the "effect/positionx" ending in the address when trying to control an Effect.
