Just read about this for premiere.  does it work in after effects too?

I have many effects layered inside comp, after comp.   Is there a fast way to disabling them all for quick full resolution preview?

    good point. no master switch to turn out effects in after effects. I can get the logic why this is not a feature because you usually do effects in after effects and if there are no effects, what's there to see? but at least give us a shortcut to turning it off on a layer right?

    you usually need to toggle this icon on or off to do this

    but in CC2018 finally there's the shortcut editor (we stole it from premiere)

    so Alt+E is free and as of today my new shortcut for switching on an effect

    and for you, you could select all (Ctrl+A) and disable effects (Alt+E - assign it first)

    That's very helpful.  Nice new feature.  Though it would be nice to have that effects option, since it would be useful for tracking/rotoing these shots im working on .  Ended up just turning off that effects heavy comp, then pre-composed it with a simple layer.  Used that layer as a reference, and presto no lag.
