  Keyboard shortcut to move one frame at a time either direction?

  Posted by Mballom on March 26, 2006 at 7:00 pm

  Hi,

  I will need to be able to move frame-by-frame accross my layer in composition window. Anyone knows a keyboard shortcut that can do that? I guess one to advance and one to go backward?

  Thanks

  Hi,

  If you hold down Ctrl while using your arrow keys you can jump frames one at a time

  Hi
  I used to work a lot with this shortcut and now in Ae cs5.5 this shortcut (hold down Ctrl while using arrow keys you can jump frames one at a time) doesn’t work-do you have any idea way?
  Thanks in advanced!
  P.s-I’m working on Mac OS X Lion

  Alt+Page Down/Up (Windows)
  Option+Page Down/Up (Mac)

  Opps, sorry. It’s just Page Up and Page down for what you’re asking. Hold alt/option if you want to move the layer in the timeline one frame.

  Hi, I have the apple wireless little keyboard that doesn’t have the number keypad and thus no page up and down so is there another shortcut? Thanks anyone.

  CMD+ left/right arrow (or Fn + up/down arrow) will jog back/forward 1 frame

  Fn + left/right arrows to jump to start / end of comp

  Fn + alt + up/down to nudge (slide) selected layers 1 frame

  Add Shift to jump in 10 frame increments
