So start using shortcuts as I mention them and build that muscle memory. Well, they're helpful in any application, but in an application like After Effects, it can be a serious game changer. It's important because shortcuts are really, really helpful in After Effects. And when you hear me say the word shortcut, you should trigger something in your brain that says, remember this. The Selection tool has a shortcut and it's V. And it's kinda the default tool, it's the one that I switch back to after I do anything else using any other tool. I can also adjust the scale of my layer here with the Selection tool. If I put key frames in, I can animate between them visually by just clicking and dragging, and you're gonna see that coming up as well. I can click this text layer here and move it around my composition. This is kind of the default tool, right? It's like the Pointer tool and you can use it to, well, select stuff. It's just way too overwhelming, so lets talk about the tools that you're gonna be using all the time starting with the Selection tool. There's a lot of things that After Effects can do, but, well, quite honestly, your brain just can't handle it all at once. Some of them are just, well, they're outside the scope of a beginner's course in After Effects. Whoa, there are a lot of tools, I could not do that in one breath and, sadly, I'm not going to cover all of these tools in this lesson. The Selection tool, the Hand tool, the Zoom tool, the Rotation tool, the Unified Camera tool, the Pan Behind Anchor Point tool, the Rectangle tool, the Pen tool, the Horizontal Tech tool. So right up here, you have the Tools bar, or the toolbar, and you have a collection of various tools. In this lesson, you're gonna be learning about some of the tools you're going to be using all of the time in After Effects.
