  Shorcut to hide all properties?

  Posted by Daniele Bonazza on March 28, 2018 at 2:24 pm

  When I’m working with a lot of layers, I often need to hide the properties of the layers that I don’t need anymore.
  That’s the way I do:

  cmd + a –> to select all layers
  u –> that shows all animated properties
  u –> again to hide all animated properties

  And then I usually have to scroll up or down with the mouse wheel to find the layer I was working on.

  Is there a fastest way?

  Thanks a lot
  Daniele

  You can toggle the expansion of a whole layer (or selection of layers) in the timeline panel with Ctrl+` on Windows or Cmd+` on Mac.
