Applying Just The Expression

To just apply the selected expression simply click apply with no modifier keys held. This will apply the stored expression and any related effects to the selected layer/'s or property/ies.

Applying Keyframes With The Expression

Some expressions have keyframe data stored, and sometimes you may want to apply this data along with the expression. To do this simply hold the "shift" key while pressing the "apply" button. Any keyframes, if any, will be applied to the selected layer/'s or property/ies.

When applying effects that already exist on a layer or master layer you will have an option to combine them or create new effects.
