Create Quick Transform Keyframes - Adobe After Effects Tutorial

Here’s a tip for creating quick keyframes for your Transform Properties.. Instead of opening up your layer controls and sifting through your Transform Properties or even using shortcut keys to get to your Transform Properties, check out this quick tip, which was given to me by my good friend, Greg Sheldon. Make sure the layer you want to add the keyframe to is selected and put your playhead where you want the first keyframe to go. If you’re using a PC, hold down Shift Alt and the corresponding Transform Property letter: A for Anchor Point, P for Position, S for Scale, R for Rotation, and T for Opacity. If you’re on a MAC, the shortcut is Opt the corresponding letter. After Effects will place your first keyframe where your playhead is. You’ll be amazed how much time you save with this one shortcut! The next time you need to lay down a quick keyframe for a Transform Property, don’t forget this tip for creating quick keyframes. Special thanks to: Greg Sheldon, Motion Graphic Designer Website:
