Is this possible? change favorite to effect many instances of it throught project
I have a completed project in which the client would like me to change one of the colors. I have applied a favorite effect using fill to change the color to all the elements that i needed. Is there a way to change that favorite so it will change all the instances of that same effect in the rest of the file? I.e the client woul like to now see it in a different color.
Thank you for your help.

… or you could:
1. make a “master” layer (anything that you can apply fill to), and apply the fill effect.
2. Make its fill color parameter visible in the timeline
3. Opt-click (alt-click) on the stopwatch for another layer’s fill color parameter to create an expression
4. pickwhip from that layer to the “master” color parameter to create an expression on the second layer, so it mimics the fill color of the master
5. select the fill color parameter in the second layer, then edit>copy expression only
6. select the fill color parameter of all the other layers, then edit>paste.That should create an expression on all the other “slave” layers. You just need to change the fill on the master, and all the rest will follow.

Short answer no. The other answers would be the way you wish you would of done it, but at this point you have to go back and “touch” all the layers individually. You could follow Steve’s idea so when your client changes their mind again you can just adjust the master layer and all the others will follow.

Here’s the hack:
find a Hex editor that can find and replace strings in any file.
Check out the hex-value of your current value first and do a global replace for it in a copy of your file.The Fill parameter will be preceded by “(ADBE-Fill-0002 … Color … then the Hex value of your color)”
So you might include that in your search-query
