SC from Hell - According to http://helpx.adobe.com/after-effects/using/keyboard-shortcuts-reference.html - CTRL+ALT+A does this, "Select all visible keyframes and properties". The 'evil' thingy with being "visible", in this context, is that the KFs/Props have to be in eyeball view, NOT KFs that have been revealed in the Timeline. So, if you have KFs/Props that can only be viewed via scrolling the Timeline either vertically or horizontally, these will not be selected via CTRL+ALT+A!!! Hence, the "SC from Hell" - I lost a lot of sleep on this one. Beauty & its Beast - With two KFs selected, you can select either one and hit ALT to view the time span between the two keyframes in the Info Panel - Beautiful! Beast! It seldom works. And oftentimes, gives the wrong result, and that is even if you allow for a negative reading. FWIW, this is useful when it's Beautiful - for Time Remapping and for simple and boring things like keyframing. ;-) Cheers - Roland Kahlenberg * LATEST AE Workshop * MoGraph Intensity Workshop (Shape & Text Layers) Promo - http://vimeo.com/84649947
