Undo and redo
An edit in Penpal is a normal After Effects history item that can be undone. But if you click on After Effects' menu bar and Edit > Undo Modify shape you won't see the undo reflected in Penpal's canvas and you'll have to reload the path.
The Undo and Redo buttons in Penpal's footer bar will perform a standard undo and refresh the canvas, and so will our keyboard shortcuts:
-
On Windows: Undo is
Ctrl+Z, Redo isCtrl+Y- but these shortcuts only work repeatedly when Penpal is docked in your After Effects workspace. -
On Mac: Undo is
Alt+Z, Redo isAlt+Yand they work regardless of docking.
Undo and redo functions apply to everything you do in After Effects
…not just the Penpal operations. So be careful not to accidentally undo an operation outside of Penpal that you don't intend to.
