expanding and collapsing layers

[Jayson Steckler]

“Is there a way to collapse multiple layers and reveal them (not in the composition, but in timeline and layers windows) all at once?”

You can collapse and uncollapse in the layer list and the timeline by multi selecting the Layers you want to affect and using the left and right arrow keys.

“How about something akin to the U key in AE, which reveals all (and only) attributes with keyframes?”

I haven’t discovered a way to do that yet.

Holding down option while clicking the collapse/uncollapse arrow will expand all the sublevels of a layer. If you want to do this to multiple selected layers at once, select the ones you want first using the normal method (shift, command), then hold down option and use the right arrow to expand. This will open up all sub-layers in a layer.

The Keyframe Editor does this by default. If you choose the “Animated” curve set from the popup at the top of the Keyframe Editor (which is picked by default), any object or layer you click on will automatically display only parameters with keyframes and filter out all others. From there, you can use the checkboxes to turn on/off individual parameters at will to further filter out specific parameters. This also works with multiple objects, for example if you shift-click on several objects that are keyframed, the keyframe editor will show only keyframed parameters for all of the selected items, so you can compare several objects at once.
