Shortcut keys for adding number markers no longer work

Since updating to 17.5.0 I can no longer shift+1, 2, 3, 4 to add numbered markers to a timeline.

 

5 - 0 keys do work however, and the issue persists across multiple PCs.

 

Anyone else run into this yet ? 

Correct answer Tim Kurkoski

To be clear: this is new behavior in After Effects 17.5. By default the 1/2/3 keys are now assigned to the new camera navigation tools, and the 4/5/6 keys are assigned to the 3D transform gizmo modes.

 

To disable this behavior and return the 1-6 keys to markers, turn off the "Use 1/2/3..." option in Preferences > 3D.

 

We're not planning on changing this behavior, as it is an intentional change to AE's defaults and not considered a bug. However, if you dislike the defaults or would like to see other changes, please submit an idea with what you'd like to see improved here: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/

    Hi FallsProductions,

     

    Thanks for reaching out.

    This is a known issue with the release. Sorry about this. The team is working on a fix.

    To make it work like before go to After Effects Preferences > 3D > uncheck "Use 1/2/3 for navigation and 4/5/6 for transform gizmos".

    Let us know how it goes.

     

    Thanks,

    Nishu
