  • After Effects presets all disappeared!

    All my after effects presets have disappeared. The render settings and output modules I have set and saved have gone, and my workspace layout. These I just recreated as was quick. However I also noticed the keyboard shortcuts now only has the option After Effects Default.txt

    I always have this set to FCP 7 keyboard shortcuts and this I can’t fix so easily as I don’t fancy setting up all the keyboard shortcuts manually. Any insight into what has happened and how I can get the full list of keyboard shortcuts back? (preferably without uninstalling and reinstalling aftereffects).

    When did they disappear? Was it just after the recent update?

    Do you have older versions of AE installed?

    I’d say it was around a week ago…. I’m running version 17.5.0

    It may have ben after an auto update as I noticed the aftereffects image when it boots up is now different.

    Is there anyway I can install FCP keyboard shortcuts?

    I don’t understand why you would want an NLE’s keyboard commands in After Effects since it’s not an NLE. I mean, a lot of the keyboard shortcuts you’d have in an NLE wouldn’t apply to AE at all.

    That said, I’ve heard of people with non-migrated stuff fixed it by uninstalling and reinstalling.

    Because that’s what works for me – personal preference 🙂

    Will try uninstalling thanks.
