| These are some of the keyboard shortcuts I use almost every time I work in AE. There are many, many more, but I think these are the one's worth memorizing first. | |
| Importing files | |
| apple-i | Import a single file |
| apple-option-i | Import multiple files |
| Return | Rename a file or composition in the project window |
| The Timeline | |
| p | show the "position" attribute for the selected layer in the timeline. |
| t | show the "opacity" attribute (think of 'transparency' to help you remember the shortcut) for the selected layer in the timeline. |
| r | show the "rotation" attribute for the selected layer in the timeline. |
| m | show the mask or masks attributes for the selected layer in the timeline. |
| f | show the mask "feather" attribute for the selected layer in the timeline. |
| e | show the attributes for any effects applied to the selected layer in the timeline. |
| Composition Windows | |
| apple - + | zoom in on the current composition window. |
| apple - - (minus) | zoom out on the current composition window. |
| apple - option - + | zoom in on the current composition without changing the window size. |
| apple - option - - (minus) | zoom out on the current composition without changing the window size. |
