Example Expressions

There are technically three different types of expressions you can save.

Standard Expression

Standard expressions use no custom functions. They are what we describe as just an expression. These need no unquie set-up and can be saved straight from the property without any problems

Expression With thisLayer

Expressions that use the keyword thisLayer and connect to an effect need no adjustments inside the expression itself. But, do need functions to be set-up correctly.

Expression With Master

Using expressions with a master layer need some initial set-up and code to be able to run correctly. The most important part is that var master = thisComp.layer("master layer name"); needs to be added below the custom functions
