Accidental keyboard shortcut: playhead now plagued with brackets

Explorer ,
Jun 16, 2021 Jun 16, 2021

Hello All,

 

Silly question, but I accidentally pressed something and now my playhead is swarmed with annoying brackets. I have no idea how to describe or Google this, so I am attaching a screenshot. How do I get rid of all these brackets?

 

Related: I would love to see a"keyboard shortcut history" feature for exactly this type of problem. Anyone know if that exists?

 

Thanks!

Hi dlatzen,

 

Thanks for writing in.

This is not by accident but by default. These brackets would appear on all the layer properties that don't have a key and I couldn't find an option to turn it off.

I liked your suggestion though. Feel free to share it on the After Effects UserVoice: https://adobe-video.uservoice.com/forums/911311-after-effects

Let us know if there are any other questions.

 

Thanks,

Nishu

Thanks Nishu, I appreciate it! I guess the massive number of them on this project stood out. I will post the feature suggestion over on the forum. Have a great week!

So I actually cannot post to the forum, the sign-in feature keeps closing on me. Not going to create a ticket for this, just thought I would let you know.

Hey there! Thanks for the screen recording. It helps. Can you try it with a different browser? 

Let us know if that works.

Those icons show up when a property that can be keyframed is visible in the timeline. Close the Transform Panel and have no keyframes for any transform property and the indicators go away.
