Quick tip – Audio Waveform Shortcut

This quicktip is for After Effects users looking to access the audio waveform of an audio layer. Without this shortcut you usually have to drill down several levels of the layer hierarchy to get to the waveform where you can see the visual representation of your sound. A quick double tap of the L key (LL) on the keyboard will bring the waveform up instantly and the same LL will make it disappear again. This is a useful time saver, and also makes it much easier to control your layer stack if you are using a lot of layers.
