Is there any way of easily selecting a file in composition window?
Hi there
I was just wondering if there is a function in after effects similar to that in photoshop whereby if you ctrl click on a layer it will select that layer for you. Say you have like 20 layers on the screen, is there any easy way of selecting on of them like in photoshop instead of having to go through each layer in the timeline?
Thanks in advance,
Dan

Fair enough
Can you recommend a way of finding a layer if you have 20 layers on the screen which are all the same image? Thats mainly what Im having problems with…
thanks

Dan,
In your Comp window just hover and then Right+Click what looks like the layer you want. This will bring up a contextual menu and at the bottom will be “Select >…” . Just select you layer from there.However, if you’ve got 6 dozen layers all named the same thing, it’ll still be a bit tough. As Chris mentioned, rename your layers as you go. Makes things so much easier.
