    Hello, I have 900 layers with position keyframes, just in and out.
    I want to select the first keyframe of each layer, is there a shortcut or a script I might use?
    Because is taking me 20m to select the keyframes when after effects don’t crash on me.

    Cheers

    If you select all the layers and press “p” you will see only the position keyframes for all layers. Then you can drag around a bunch of keyframes to select them, and shift-drag to add to the selection. Just be careful not to start the dragging on a layer, but in the space holding the keyframes.

    Thank you for you reply!
    That works when you just have a “few” layers, now when you have 900, is not so easy to select them.
    What I did in the end was just selecting a bunch at the time holding the shift key.

    But it must be an easy way (expression or shortcut) to select these amount of key frames.

    Cheers
