Displaying All Keyframes - Tutorial

You've been meticulously setting keyframes for different properties on your layers, but as the number of keyframes increases, keeping track of them all can become a challenge. Fortunately, After Effects has a handy feature that allows you to display all keyframes in your composition in one go. Here's how:

  1. Activate the Timeline Panel: Click anywhere within the Timeline panel. This is where all your layers and their corresponding keyframes are listed.
  2. Press 'U' on Your Keyboard: Once the Timeline panel is active, press the 'U' key. Instantly, all the keyframes across all properties and layers in your composition will be displayed.

Displaying All Modified Keyframes

Often, you'll want to review all the keyframes you've tweaked, either to check the changes you've made or to adjust them further. To do this, After Effects provides a similar, easy-to-use feature:

  1. Ensure the Timeline Panel is Active: If not already active, click on the Timeline panel again.
  2. Press 'U' Twice on Your Keyboard: With the Timeline panel active, hit the 'U' key twice in quick succession ('UU'). All the keyframes you've modified in your composition will now be visible.

Conclusion

There you have it—an effortless way to view all keyframes and all modified keyframes in your composition. This simple yet powerful feature can greatly enhance your productivity, making your animation workflow smoother and more efficient. Keep experimenting with After Effects, and you'll continue to discover features and techniques that empower you to create more complex and compelling animations.
