    [Jon] “Is there a way to save an expression as a Preset or Favorite?”

    Yes. It’s just like saving any other kind of animation preset: Select the property that contains the expression and choose Animation > Save Animation Preset. You can apply the expression to the same property on a different layer by selecting the layer and double-clicking the animation preset in the Effects & Presets panel, or you can apply the expression to any other property by selecting the individual property first.

    For more information, see the “Save and reuse expressions” section of After Effects Help. There are some cross-references at the bottom of that page to more information on animation presets.

    not working.

    “After Effects error: can’t paste spatial data to temporal data.
    ( 26 :: 269 )”
    or
    “After Effects error: can’t paste from 1 dimension(s) to 3
    ( 26 :: 269 )”
    error mesages was displayed.

    is there a way to save and apply “pure” expressions as presets that will work for any type of property? (an example: loopin+loopout expression)
