Key frames greyed out - I can't add any key frames

Hello,

I hope you will be able to help me.

I'm in Adobe After Effects CC 2017 and I'm trying to add key frames to my imported PSD file.

I try the short cut * and going to Animation but nothing happens and everything is greyed out.

Do I have to do anything to my project before I can begin adding them?

Note: This is the first time I've opened a project in After Effects.

Thank you

Can you share us a screenshot of your After Effects interface.

It's hard to tell like this.

Simply reply and add a picture using the icons above the text field.

I'm going to assume that you mean 'Markers' rather than keyframes. Because you say "*" and that's a shortcut for markers.

A marker is like a note you can place on a layer. See below:

If this is what you mean..

Try selecting a layer first (like "Planet") in the composition in the bottom and hit *

Or try ALT+* to create a marker.

Does this help?
