Go To Layer In/Out shortcut keys (I/O) not working for me

Hello!

I just got a new MacBook the other day and installed what looks to be the newest edition of After Effects (2020).

 

I've noticed something strange - typically, I've been able to hit "I" to move to the in point of the layer, and "O" to move to the out point - pretty standard AE stuff.

 

But for some reason now, I'm not able to do this.

 

I checked the Keyboard Shortcuts and they seem to be assigned properly. I tried even alternate shortcuts and they don't seem to work.

 

And, no, this isn't an issue with my new computer - I've been typing I's and O's without incident in this very post (look: IOIOIOIIOIOIOOOIOIOIOIIO. See? Perfect!).

 

Has anyone else noticed this kind of bug? Is there anything I can try to do to work around it, other than just manually moving to that point in the timeline, which is a total drag?

 

Let me know!

    Hi all, 

     

    This bug has been fixed in After Effects 17.0.1.

    If you're still running into it for some reason, please let me know.

     

    Thanks,

    Rameez

    I don't see any issue with any of my Macs. I'm still on OSX 10.14.6 because Catalina is not compatible with a lot of software. 

     

    Select a layer, "i" or "o" always moves the CTI to the in or out point. Select multiple layers and the in and out point of the top layer are the only places the CTI will go.

    Even when I select a layer this fails to happen. Not sure what the problem is.

    I do have a refurbished machine and as it turns out I have Mojave, not Catalina. I'll install Catalina later and see if that changes anything.

    Works fine here. Take a look at AE's Keyboard Shorcuts Visualizer (Edit>Keyboard Shortcuts) and see if your i and o keys have been reassigned to other Commands. Then make the necessary changes and don't forget to save your new set of Keyboard Shortcuts before exiting the Keyboard Visualizer.
