After Effects. Recenter Comp view?

New Here ,
Jun 30, 2016 Jun 30, 2016

I did my searching and found nothing so far.

The Issue:

In a comp view pane, if you use the hand tool or shortcut to move the comp view around, is there a way to recenter the view to default?  This would be useful, if I have three or more comps that I want to click the tabs to compare for differences.  As it is now, each comp has an view offset setting remembered.  I would like to recenter the comp view for one or all comps.

Is this possible?

Thanks!

None of those work for me.

Is it because I'm on a French keyboard?

Thanks.

To Center your composition in panel:

Click anywhere in the Preview panel (so it is the active panel).

Double-click the hand tool.

ericb81428957 , I think you mean the Composition Panel. The Preview Panel just has controls and settings for preview.

It's so awesome when people simply answer the question rather than over-complicate it with unrelated info dumps, thanks for the tip, worked!

Thank you!  Doubled clicked on the Hand tool icon in the toolbar, and worked!   Note: At first I thought


Double-click the hand tool.


meant that with the hand tool selected, I could double click it anywhere in the Comp/Preview panel, but that doesn't work
