Hello,

Using After Effects 2020 for some reason the keyboard shortcuts for "I" (go to layer in point) and "O" (go to out) don't work. I've tried manually setting it in the shortcut config, i've tried resetting the preferences and it still doesn't work. Is it a known bug or am i forgetting something or not doing something right?

Thank you

Correct answer vatik

You have to manually edit the keyboard shortcuts file.
Its name you can find in Edit->Keyboard Shortucts.
Find this file in explorer (on windows it is located in C:\Users\...\AppData\Roaming\Adobe\After Effects\17.0\aeks).
Add in ["CCompTime"] section the following lines
"TimeJumpToIn" = "(I)"
"TimeJumpToOut" = "(O)"

Hello,

I have the same problem but for the "[" which sets layer In point at current time. Do you have any idea how to fix it. It's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance

Check if you have the following lines in ["CCompTime"] section

"TimeSetIn" = "([)"
"TimeSetOut" = "(])"

Or you may have duplicate definition for "[" shortcut?

Thank you,

I actually figured this out after a lot of digging in the forum. I had to go into a Text file in the preferences and find the shortcut for I and O.

Now it works!
