Activity Forums Adobe After Effects Composition window columns keep changing order

  • Composition window columns keep changing order

    Posted by Ilias Papadopoulos on February 11, 2019 at 1:24 pm

    Hi all,
    I have a nice workspace saved just as I want it and whenever I load a project that an other animator did, although I get the proper placement of panels (Effects, Character, Paragraph Align etc) as I saved them in my workspace, the columns in the Composition window are in the order that the previous animator has them in their own machine. Is there a way to lock this down so for example no matter how the previous animator worked on their machine my composition window always shows its columns in a particular order of my liking and showing only the ones I want open? Thanks.

    You should be able to double-click on your workspace name at the top of AE to reset it to the way you have it set up.

    Unfortunately this reset does not apply to the way the comp window columns are arranged. Although all other windows are reloaded the columns stay in the same position they were before.
