Ae 2020 Keyboard Shortcuts not working on Mac

  • November 19, 2019

The following keyboard shortcuts not working on my Mac: 

 

  • Go to Layer in Point > I key
  • Go to Layer out Point > O key

 

I've tried to manually assign the keys again in the Keyboard shortcuts and I've tried assigning modifier keys like shift and option/alt and it still doesn't work. Any suggestions?

 

MacBook Pro Mid 2014

MacOS: Catalina 10.15.1 

I also had the same problem on MacOS Mojave.

I'm guessing this must just be under macOS Mojave 10.14.  I'm not encoutering it under macOS High Sierra 10.13.

 

What happens if you use the following:

  • Go to Next Layer In or Out Point (⌥+⇧+⌘+Right)
  • Go to Previous Layer In or Out Point (⌥+⇧+⌘+Left)

    Thank you for this recommendation. I was not aware that there was an alternative keyboard shortcut to do this. This worked for me.

    Until a fix comes a long, those who are keen to solve the issue by manually hacking the Keyboard Shortcuts Text File can follow the procedure below.


    1) In AE, go to the Keyboard Shortcuts Visualizer (KSV)

    2) Take note of the name of the Shortcuts Text File that is currently active/loaded/used in the KSV

    3) Open AE's Prefs Dialog, in the General Section, and click on the Reveal Preferences in Explorer/Finder

    4) Quit AE

    5) Go to your Preferences Folder which was revealed in Step 3, above.

    6) Look for a folder named aeks - short for After Effects Keyboard Shortcuts

    7) The aeks folder contains all the Keyboard Shortcits you have created as well as the default shortcuts text file.

     

    Use Notepad/TextEdit to open the Keyboard Shortcuts Text File that you noted in Step 2, above.

    9) In the Keyboard Shortcuts Text File, search for, CCompTime

    10) CCompTime is a section of the Keyboard Shortcuts Text File that contains the shortcuts for I and O

    11) Look at the PNG below and insert/edit the lines pertaining to the I and O shortcuts exactly as they appear in the PNG

    12) Save the Keyboard Shortcuts File and start AE.

    13) Check to see that the I and O keys function as expected.

      Unfortunately, this is a bug and a known issue. It should be fixed in an upcoming version of AE.
