Hello! I am controlling Trim Paths with a slider control:

thisComp.layer("Trim Paths Adjustment 1").effect("End")("Slider")

I have many shape layers. Each contains many groups (individual strokes)

Is there a way to "paste" this expression onto groups within a shape layer?

Or do I have to do it manually?

You have a Copy Expression Only under the Edit menu but you have to add a trim path operator to all of your groups before pasting the expression in start or end parameters.

Yes... i see. I have to select the Groups, apply trim paths.

Then "Copy expression only" (from another layer)

and then I can't just select the layer and "Paste" , I have to select all the groups, and then "paste"

Got it! thanks.

Maybe it is a good idea to set a trim path operator linked to a expression and copy and paste the trim path operator to all groups. This way you can avoid copying and pasting the expression. I think it is a quicker way to do it.
