Changing fill color for multiple layers.

Hello to all,

So, I have a question about changing fill color on multiple layers. I have composition in which I defined two Solid colors for the background of map.

But, when I turned on "fx" option on multiple layers, automaticly all the layers have another color. I can modified that color via Effects -> Fill -> Colors on each individual layer, but suppose that there is some option to change that color for all the layers when "fx" is turned on.

Hope that is clear what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance.

Best regards.

If I'm understanding your question correctly...
You can just link all the other color properties via expressions or the new property pickwhip, or by copying the effect in question with property links.

Control Layer (could be actual layer, or null using "Color Control" expression controls)
     - fx: Fill Color 1
     - fx: Fill Color 2


Layer A
     - fx: Fill (color property linked to Control Layer's Fill Color 1)


Layer B

     - fx: Fill (color property linked to Control Layer's Fill Color 2)


If you have one layer with an effect that you want to also control the same effect on other layers, you can also select the effect (on the layer) then use Edit > Copy With Property Links (or the next option, Relative Prop Links).

    You cannot keyframe the FX on and off switch, but in most effects, you can either assign them to a mask and animate the mask opacity or keyframe things like blend with original or opacity.  The fill effect has an opacity slider you can animate or tie to a master slider with a simple expression.
