Is there a simple way to go full screen?

I know two ways:
The Maximize Panel shortcut tilde will not go full screen all the way.

 

Then there is the Preview Panel where I can check box "Full Screen" so that the spacebar will launch me on and off full screen. But then I'm bound to that behavior unless I uncheck the box again.

 

Half the times I want it to preview fullscreen and the other half not. Having to use the mouse to check and uncheck that box... feels like there should a method that is quicker and easier

Hi Calai,

 

Thanks for writing in. As far as I know, After Effects doesn't have a dedicated keyboard shortcut to make the preview full screen. If you'd like, you can create a feature request in the After Effects Ideas section of the After Effects community so that others can vote.

Let me know if there are any other questions.


Thanks,
Nishu
