Interesting. Maybe just by attaching the expressions to a = null expression slider effect and saving that as a preset, which could then= be linked to directly or cut and pasted between elements?

I mean more to convert some of these into presets to put ava= ilable online & share on my site, as opposed to my current method of pr= oviding AEPs & the expression itself. Looking for a better way to packa= ge it all up!

Hey all,
Trying to universalize some expressions of mine for conversion = to presets, and running into a roadblock.

Is it possible to save a 'raw' expression as a = preset, so that you can apply it to any selected property? Or can you only = save it as a preset if the expression is applied to a specific property?

As a practical example, say I have some amazing wiggle = settings I want to save. Do I have to save it as applied to a layer's &= #39;position', and then copy+paste it elsewhere afterwards, or can I sa= ve it raw and just apply it to the properties I'd like to as I go?


Hopefully this makes sense!
