    Is there a way to turn ON cast shadows for all layers in a project?
    (rather than have to hunt down each layer and switch ON)

    thx!

    There may be a script that can do this project-wide, but here’s a fast way to do it manually in a single comp.

    Locate the search box on the timeline panel (upper-left corner, right next to the current time). Type in “casts shadows” — all layers and properties that match will appear. Select all, then toggle from off to on.

    Thanks Walter. Although this helps, I can’t even count the number of layers and pre comps I need to apply this to.
    help!
