Keyboard shortcuts in After Effects

You can use this handy list to reference keyboard shortcuts for After Effects and keep a print for the keyboard shortcuts. We can also use the visual keyboard shortcut editor to customize the shortcuts and assign multiple shortcuts to a command.

Visual Keyboard Shortcut Editor

We can work visually when we lay out our keyboard shortcuts with the visual keyboard shortcut editor. We can use the keyboard user interface to view the keys that have been assigned shortcuts, modify assigned shortcuts, and available keys for assignment.

Work with Visual Keyboard Shortcut Editor

Go to the Edit menu on the menu bar → Click on Keyboard Shortcuts (Ctrl+Alt+').

The editor is divided into three parts:

Keyboard shortcuts in After Effects

Keyboard layout: A representation of the hardware keyboard where we can view the keys that have been assigned a shortcut and which are available.

Command list: The list displays all the commands that can be assigned shortcuts.

Key modifier list: The list displays all the modifier combinations and assigned shortcuts associated with the key you select on the keyboard layout.

Color coding

  • Gray: In the keyboard layout, keys shaded gray do not have any shortcuts assigned to them.
  • Purple: In the keyboard layout, keys shaded purple are assigned application-wide shortcuts.
  • Green: In the keyboard layout, keys shaded green are assigned panel-specific shortcuts.
