Modifying the stroke property of several clone paintings at once

Hi,

I'm a complete noob with expressions and I'd like to modify the stroke width of more than 100 clone paintings of a composition layer at once. I just would like to multiply all them by a set factor of 2.13333. Each clone width may be different. Is there a way to do it easily ?

Thank you !

Julie

Select the layer with the brush (Clone) strokes you want to modify
Type dia in the timeline search field to reveal the diameter setting for every brush in the layer
Add this expression to the first Diameter value by Alt/Option-clicking on the stopwatch for Diameter
```
value * 2.133333
```
That will increase the size of the brush by a little more than 2 times
Use the Edit menu or right click on the Diameter property and select Copy Expression Only
Drag a selection around all of the Diameter properties and paste

The tilde key (~), Will fill eht screen with the timeline and make it easier to select all of the Diameter properties in the timeline.

That's all there is to it.
