Stroke options panel

Hello,

while working with shapes in After Effects, every time I have to change the stroke Line Cap or the Line Join, or ad Dashes I have to go to the layer Contents-->Shape-->Stroke--> and change the options here. If working with lots of shape layers this process may be too long. Is there a panel (like the Stroke panel in Illustrator) to acces these options quickly?

Thank you,

sergi

You can also select the layer or layers & use the layer panel search bar to expose

the attribute you want by typing (or starting to type) it in.

    If you have common settings you can always create an animation preset. I have hundreds of custom presets that I use all the time, many of which contain expressions. It's pretty easy to create a preset of line styles and add expressions and if needed sliders that control the line styles. I have one that ties the gap to the stroke width so I get a perfect line of .......... when I apply the dotted line preset to any stroke no matter what the stroke width.
