7 After Effects Tips and Tricks



Here are some useful tips from ProVideoCoalition.com thanks to Trish Meyer. The first tip is about re-timing key frames.

Tip 1: Retime a set of Keyframes

Ever have a bunch of keyframes that you want to spread out in time or condense in time? Select them and press Option on Mac (Alt on Windows) and drag the first or last keyframe in the group.
