  Shortcut to switch the the next composition?

  Posted by Roger Alexander on May 19, 2014 at 7:01 pm

  I primarily work in Sony Vegas and then export clips to after effects for special effects. for a given music video I might edit around 20-30 clips in after effects. I open a new composition for each in AE and export them. I’m looking for a quick way to navigate between compositions other than using my mouse to scroll and find the comp and then click. This is particularly annoying when I need to send each comp to the render queue because every time I press Ctrl + M, it sends me back to the first comp of my project and then i have to scroll again and find the next one.

  is there a shortcut to switch to the next (or even to another) comp in my project with a button?

  Shortcuts are all here:

  There are shortcuts for cycling through compositions and such toward the bottom of the “Panels, viewers, workspaces, and windows (keyboard shortcuts)” section.
