Essential AE shortscuts?

[Todd Kopriva]

When I created the “Basic workflow tutorial” page, one of my goals was to introduce a few of the more commonly used shortcuts. So, you might want to check that out.

Of course, all of the keyboard shortcuts are listed here: “Keyboard shortcuts”.

Thanks Todd,
I’ll check out your tutorial.

Yes I’m aware of the help page listings.

I’m just trying to put together a basic set for a class I’m working with next week.

Thanks,

Mike A.

here’s just a random smattering that come to mind immediately :

T,S,R,P,A – to reveal the attributes of a layer.
U and UU – to reveal keyframes/modified attributes
Cmd+Shift+C – Precompose
G – Pen tool

, and . – zooming in and out of comp window
– and + for zooming timeline window

Thanks Stuart – I appreciate the thought.

As it happens, I put together a couple of pages of ‘selected shortcuts’ a few days ago. Once I’ve double checked everything I might well make it available as a PDF for download – if other people might find it useful.
