How can we improve After Effects?

← After Effects

Go to layer in-point and out-point (shortcuts I and O on layers panel) on AE 2020 not working.

Updated to Ae CC 2020 and going to the beginning or end of a layer isn't possible because the shortcuts (keys I or O) are not working.

    @Jade Thompson: update to the latest 2020 version (or to 2021). This problem was fixed by Adobe a long time ago. Try doing a "clean" update, without migrating settings. If this still does not work, try resetting your AE preferences.

    Hi all.
    I just spend a big time with this, to fix folow:

    1: go to "C:\Users\YouUser\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\17.0\aeks
    2: do a backup of you "After Effects Default.txt"
    3: Open "After Effects Default.txt" at any txt editor
    4: Find ["CCompTime"]
    5: Replace entire block with this:

    ["CCompTime"]
    "TimeFastForward" = "(Ctrl+Alt+RightArrow)(END)"
    "TimeJumpToIn" = "(I)"
    "TimeJumpToNextInOut" = "(Ctrl+Alt+Shift+RightArrow)"
    "TimeJumpToOut" = "(O)"
    "TimeJumpToPrevInOut" = "(Ctrl+Alt+Shift+LeftArrow)"
    "TimeJumpToWAEnd" = "(Shift+END)"
    "TimeJumpToWAStart" = "(Shift+HOME)"
    "TimeRewind" = "(Ctrl+Alt+LeftArrow)(HOME)"
    "TimeSetIn" = "([)"
    "TimeSetOut" = "(])"
    "TimeShiftSpacebarPlay" = "(Shift+Space)"
    "TimeSpacebarPlay" = "(Space)"
    "TimeStepBack" = "(Ctrl+LeftArrow)(PageUP)"
    "TimeStepBackMore" = "(Shift+PageUP)(Ctrl+Shift+LeftArrow)"
    "TimeStepForward" = "(Ctrl+RightArrow)(PageDOWN)"
    "TimeStepForwardMore" = "(Shift+PageDOWN)(Ctrl+Shift+RightArrow)"
    "TimeStretchIn" = "(Ctrl+Shift+Comma)"
    "TimeStretchOut" = "(Ctrl+Alt+Comma)"
    "TimeTrimIn" = "(Alt+[)"
    "TimeTrimOut" = "(Alt+])"

    6: Save file and close.

    Hi, I'm having this problem with the input and output shortcuts, however I've gone into the keyboard shortcuts and checked that they are assigned to the letters, yet they are still not working.. I've checked other shortcuts and everything else seems to be working fine... help!!

  • Daniel Gheorghe commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Had the same problem, fixed it by editing the keyboard shortcuts file, as Victor mentioned. There was no entry for going to layer in and out points whatsoever.

    Location of the keyboard shortcuts file on Win 10: C:\Users\"Your Username"\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\17.0\aeks

    Thanks a lot, Victor!

    P.S.: The problem seems to appear when you do a clean install (without importing / migrating preferences or settings from previous version).

  • Jessica M (AE Dev @ Adobe) commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Victor has the correct current workaround mentioned, that or importing previous preferences should also fix it (please let me know if that is not the case).

    As Tom N has stated, we are looking into this issue. Thank you all for taking the time to post to User Voice.

    You have to manually edit the keyboard shortcuts file.
    Its name you can find in Edit->Keyboard Shortucts.
    Then you should add in ["CCompTime"] section the following lines
    "TimeJumpToIn" = "(I)"
    "TimeJumpToOut" = "(O)".
    This comment fix it.
    TK!!

    I'm having the exact same issue, and it's set properly in Keyboard Shortcuts. Latest Windows 10, i9-9900k. AE v17.0. Please fix as this is an important part of my workflow.
