In the new After Effects CC 2018.1 you can now import json and jsx files to use directly in expressions. So instead of copying and pasting your expressions code again and again, you can keep your functions in one, central location now and access them easily from any expression. Work more efficiently and build your own expressions library file that you can reuse in any project!
