  Collapse layers to see easier in AE cs6?

  Posted by Binh Nguyen on June 10, 2013 at 6:41 am

  Hi all, I have so many layers in timeline, is there anyway to collapse some of layers so I can see easier and have more space to add another element in AE CS6?

  Thank you

  Shy layers or nested Compostions.

  Another possibility is to just use the tilde key (~) when you’re in your Comp. This will make whatever window in AE which is active toggle back and forth between full screen and standard view. It might help you out.
