  • Hotkey for “make a keyframe for the current layer/current open property”

    Posted by Eric Chard on June 21, 2013 at 4:48 pm

    Oftentimes I’m scrubbing the timeline, with a layer+property selected, and I just want to make a keyframe w/o grabbing the (damn) mouse.

    Is there a hotkey to “make a keyframe for the current layer/current open {or selected} property”?

    Thanks!

    You can do this for the tranformations, by pressing “Shift + Alt + P” for position, “Shift + Alt + T” for opacity and so on. There isn’t that I know of for doing it for a selected property.

    Done.

    Wish I’d copied it before I submitted: it was a compositional jewel.
