Selecting properties and values with the pick whip


    To use the pick whip, click the pick whip icon (the pick whip icon) and drag it to another property or to a specific property value. Once you select a property or value, After Effects automatically inserts the appropriate expression in the expression field at the location of the cursor; if text is already selected in the expression field, that text is replaced by the new expression text. If the cursor is not in the expression field, all text in the field is replaced by the new text.
