Activity Forums Adobe After Effects keyboard shortcut for switching between views in composition panel

  • keyboard shortcut for switching between views in composition panel

    Posted by Michael Garske on November 14, 2012 at 12:54 am

    I find myself going between one and 2 horizontal views almost constantly. I was unable to find out if there is a keyboard shortcut for this. Does anyone know if there is a shortcut to switch views?

    Also, a keyboard shortcut to toggle camera views would be amazing. Does this exist?

    Thanks for your help!

    Not that I know off.

    There are 3 assignable shortcut keys to switch 3D views. You’ll find them under the View Menu – Switch 3D View. The Assign Shortcut to … sub-section allows you to assign one of the 3 shortcut keys to the currently selected view.

    Even I was searching some shortcut for changing the camera views.
    This is a great trick Roland 🙂 Generally an overlooked feature of AE. Thanks!
