I also have about 200 custom presets in a drop = box folder with an alias so all of my animation presets are in sync on = all my machines. This way, no matter where I am I don=92t have to start = from scratch for most expressions. Here=92s my workflow for my =91universal=92 animation presets. Apply the = raw expression to the appropriate expression control, angle, point, = color, slider stored on a null. Then you can pickwhip whatever property = you want to the expression controller.
