    [AE CS4-CS5] MAC OSX and mysterious Shortcuts

    Hallo!
    I use MAC OSX but I can’t find these specific shortcuts:

    1 – Add/Remove key-frames in timeline (Position, Rotation, Effects, etc…);
    2 – Exspand/Reduce Timeline (Zoom In/out)

    I repeat: I use Mac OSX.

    THX!!!

    The Help section has an extensive list of keyboard shortcuts.

    Adding / removing a transform keyframe at the CTI can be done with the following:

    Position: Option + P
    Scale: Option + S
    Rotation: Option + R
    Anchor Point: Option + A
    Opacity: Option + T

    Zoom the timeline to the CTI: ;

    The last one toggles back and forth to single frame or the entire timeline.

    Thx Brian!
    but Have I some further questions…:

    1 – What about adding / removing keyframe of a effects parameter, like, for example, “Blurrines” in FASTBLUR?

    2 – About Expand/Reduce Timeline (Zoom In/out) I mean timeline and not Comp view; I’ll tried with ; and : but they make Zoom in/out in Comp view…

    3 – What do you mean with “CTI”?

    Thx a lot!

    No shortcuts for individual effects parameters.

    2 – About Expand/Reduce Timeline (Zoom In/out) I mean timeline and not Comp view; I’ll tried with ; and : but they make Zoom in/out in Comp view…

    Timeline must be active i.e. selected

    3 – What do you mean with “CTI”?

    CTI = Current Time Indicator – the vertical line in the Timeline.
