Timeline animation: Changing style properties to propagate through keyframes

I'm making an animation of a shape that has a pulsing glow, via Styles, which works great. However I've since decided I want to change the color of the pulse in Styles; But of course if I try to change the color it'll only affect whatever frame I'm on. Will I need to recreate the pulse effect with the new color or can I somehow unify the color in Styles?

    Oh, that's not good. Only other way I can think of changing it would be to duplicate all the layers and put them in a new video group. Set the fill opacity to 0, which will just give you the effect, and no actual image. Then clip a solid fill layer (or hue/sat, whatever works best) set to color bend mode to that group to change the color of the burst.

    Hopefully, you can copy the layer style and paste it into the other frames by selecting them all.

    Unfortunately that doesn't help terribly. The pulse is a size property on the outer glow that I'm adjusting every other frame.

    Yeah, I was suspecting that there'd be no magic bullet. I suppose the answer would be just doing these effects in After Effects to have that specificity. The fill opacity to 0 would be a good cheat though, thanks for that!
