<p>As the question title says. Is there a shortcut, or some way to do this?
Single composition suffices.</p>

<p>The only thing I found is to copy all effects, by selecting a layer → effects panel → CTRL + A to select all effects → CTRL + C to copy → Go to other layer → effects panel → CTRL + V to paste the effects.</p>

<p>The aforementioned process copies all effects and their keyframes, but not the individual settings. The settings of each effect is the default. That being said, I am surprised to see that they are actually keyframed.</p>

<p>Also, it doesn't copy other keyframed parameters (non-'effects'), such as Position, or Opacity.</p>

<p>Is there a way to copy all keyframed parameters exactly from one layer to another?</p>

<p>I'm working with Adobe After Effects CS6. Thank you.</p>

Can I copy and paste all keyframed parameters (settings and effects) from one layer to another in Adobe After Effects CS6 within a single composition?

If you go to the sequence window you can hit `uu` (that's double tapping the u key), to show all **modified properties**. Then copy all the keyframes *and* values (drag the cursor over the whole timeline area, including the I-beams for non-animating properties (the ones that are highlighted in blue) and copy.

If you want to copy properties that are default for one layer on to another you could use `~` instead of `uu`, that will show **all properties** of the layer.

Note that there are some effects and properties that you can't copy, they're usually things that have a custom value, like the source layer for effects that use other layers, e.g. compound blur.
