Shortcut for finding keyframes?

[casey]

Hi there,

I was just wondering if there is a shortcut which enables you to click on the layer in your workspace, which takes you to the relevant layer in your timeline and reveals where your keyframes are. I keep finding I have to open up a million little arrows to hunt down my keyframes, if there is a quicker way I’d love to know!

Thanks!

hi casey,

a nice way of working is to switch on “show only animated channels” (it´s hidden in the small little arrow on the bar that seperates the timeline from the layers). only make sure you remember having it switched on!

hope this helps with your problem, i don´t know of any shortcut that would reveal only the keyframes of the selected layer…

hope this helps,

First make sure show ‘….and properties’ and ‘show only animated channels’ is checked in the timeline’s ‘triangular button’ menu.

Then ensure ‘CONTEXT’ is checked at the right hand side of the timeline. When you click on an operator in the workspace, the ‘CONTEXT’ setting shows that operator’s keyframed properties in the timeline.

To move the playhead position from one keyframe to the next, click on an operator’s property in the timeline (which selects all keyframes for that property) and tap SHIFT-PAGE-UP and SHIFT-PAGE-DOWN to move to previous and next keyframes respectively.

This is similar to ‘J’ and ‘K’ in After Effects, although in AE those hotkeys select prev/next visible keyframes. However there isn’t an equivalent to the ‘U’ hotkey in After Effects which twirls down all properties with keyframed channels.

Thanks so much, both those tips worked a treat, I can’t believe I just finished a project without having them switched on!
