Using and modifying keyboard shortcuts

Use keyboard shortcuts to speed up common tasks.

Note: On Mac OS, some keyboard commands for interacting with the operating system conflict with keyboard commands for interacting with After Effects. Select Use System Shortcut Keys in the General preferences to override the After Effects keyboard command in cases in which there's a conflict with the Mac OS keyboard command.

To modify keyboard shortcuts, use the KeyEd Up script from Jeff Almasol, which is available on the Adobe After Effects Exchange website: www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_jeffscriptswithkeyedup.

For information on remapping keyboard shortcuts for keyboard layouts other than the standard US English layout, see Jonas Hummelstrand’s website: www.adobe.com/go/learn_ae_jonaskeyboardmapping.
