Hi. When I click "alt" + scroll, it doesn't move me to the place where my mouse cursor is (in After Effects). It must be a problem with the program because everything works fine in Illustrator. I uninstalled and reinstalled it. I also changed the settings, but it still doesn't work.

Error or problem

Thanks for writing in, Yasemiv.

When Follow Cursor is selected in the Preferences, it'll follow the mouse without pressing the Alt key and zoom in/out to centre when scrolling with Alt key pressed. The behaviour reserves if you change the drop-down to Centre.

Let me know if it helps.

Thanks,

Hi! Thank you, everything works perfectly now! By the way, in Adobe Illustrator, crtl moves me left and right - is it possible to set something like that in After Effects too?

I don't think that functionality is available in After Effects. Sorry about that.

Let me know if there are any other questions.

Thanks,
Nishu
