Holding option and scrolling to zoom has been removed, but why?

This is something I use constantly to navigate quickly around the stage to zoom in and out of specific areas so I am just super confused why, after all these years, that would be removed unless it was a mistake.

I second this question, my work time since it has been removed has increased, the absence of this feature seriously slows me down.

What operating system are you on?

Have you tried resetting preferences? o reset After Effects preferences, close the application, then launch it while holding down Ctrl + Alt + Shift (Windows) or Command + Option + Shift (Mac OS)This will open the Startup Repair Options dialogue box, where you can choose to reset preferences.

In After Effects Preferences > Previews > change the Trackpad Scrolling dropdown to Zoom.

Let me know how it goes. Moving this thread from Bugs to Discussions for troubleshooting.


Thanks,
Nishu

Is there a way to go back to having it pan when scrolling, and having it zoom when holding option/alt while scrolling?

Thanks!
