Hi! I was wondering if there was a simple way to transfer expressions from one layer to another (and quicker then copy/pasting each expressions).

Is there a way to duplicate a layer and then change the source image so that it retains the expressions but with a different image?

Thanks for the help!

You could duplicate the layer, then ALT+drag a new project item onto it to replace the source. Is that what you mean?

Thank you for your help, to be more precise, is there a way to copy a layer so that changes made to the expressions of the original reflect on the duplicates?

Nope. Since expressions are tied to layer properties or effects, they cannot be instanced. however, nobody is stopping you from linking an expression to an expression to an expression... the oldfashioned way.

You can attach the value of a expresion to another layer using de attach buttom, it is similar a @.
