keyboard shortcut for keyframing?
this question may be stupid but i cant seem to find out how to do it
is there a keyboard shortcut for making a keyframe when on an attribute? I am tired of clicking the little yellow dot!I know that if I am on an attribute and then click the yellow dot and then progress down my timeline and then change the atttribute it will automatically make a keyframe. But is there a shortcut to make that first keyframe, so I dont have to click that yellow dot?
thanks

The keyboard shortcut for setting a position keyframe is option-p on a mac; i think it’s control-p on a windows machine. For opacity, it’s option-t.
There are a whole bunch more of them. I STRONGLY suggest that you look them up in AE Help. That’s why it’s there… to help, y’know?

On Mac use the OPTION key with the property shortcut key.
On Win use the ALT key with the property shortcut key.A Anchor Point
P Position
R Rotation
S Scale
T Opacityare the most common. Check AE help for more.

which is the property shortcut key?? does every keyboard have it??

What about a custom property, like a slider, for example?

I’m having the same problem. What is the ‘property’ key on a Mac?

Jim Kanter’s explanation is correct:
On Mac use the OPTION key with the property shortcut key.
On Win use the ALT key with the property shortcut key.A Anchor Point
P Position
R Rotation
S Scale
T OpacityFor example, if you’re setting a keyframe for scale and you’re on a Mac press option + the S key, if you’re setting a keyframe for opacity on a Windows machine press Alt + the T key, etc.
I was confused too but just happened to figure it out. Hope this helps!

alt + t just opens the edit menu on the top bar for me (adobe AE CC)

I had the same problem in finding the corresposponding hotkey in Windows.
I realized that it is not alt+t/a/p/etc. but alt+shift+[the_needed_key].
I hope this could help. It was a pain in the neck for me not beeing able to use it!
