Show All Keyframes (The U-Key) Shortcut in After Effects

Instantly reveals all properties with active keyframes on the selected layers, hiding everything else to declutter your timeline.

Digging through endless layer dropdowns to find one specific keyframe is a massive waste of time. The 'U' key is universally considered the single most important workflow shortcut in After Effects.

Select one or multiple layers in your composition and press 'U'. Only the properties you have animated will twirl down. Press 'U' again to collapse them.
