After Effects

When the save popup box appears in AE, and you click “don’t save” by accident, you lose your work. Having a failsafe would be much appreciated! 

For many years I was able to copy the name of a missing file and paste it into the search window when attempting to relink a missing file. It seems that Adobe has removed that feature. I don’t remember what version of After Effects this first happened, but I can no longer do that. Copying the name of a missing video or image no longer works. That standard feature helped tremendously when searching for missing files or trying to relink them. My request is that you restore that very simple feature.

The Copy Frame to Clipboard button is a really good addition, and being able to paste to disk is a great improvement.I’d like to suggest that it could be improved further by adding modifiers to the button, adding extra functionality.For example, Alt+Shift+Click could open a file browser, allowing the user to choose the save location and amend the filename if needed.Alt+Click could directly save the current frame to the last used location. If no previous location was found it would bring up the file browser to set a location as above. It would be useful if the last used file path was shown in a tooltip on hover, as well as the modifiers and their uses.An unmodified click would continue to work as-is.The benefit of this would be reducing friction and repetitive tasks when exporting frames for use in decks/presentations etc, freeing up artist time and helping to keep the flow. Adding these features as modifiers to an existing button mean it would not add to the amount of UI buttons, and b

Please, After Effects development team, bring back the ability to start tracking multiple masks at once.Doing them one by one was a bit tedious.For example:https://www.instagram.com/p/Dafoc_4ucQ2/

When copying a set of layers containing a Lens Blur effect that points to a Blur Map layer, this relation breaks when the set is pasted in a new Comp. I would prefer to keep the relation intact.

Please add safezone options for current social media platforms to After Effects and Premiere!99% of the videos I create professinally are for social media campaigns, yet there are only guides in AE for broadcast safezones.

In a lot of situations, I find myself applying the same effects over and over. It would come in handy when these are stacked in an auto populated easy access menu with Keyboard shortcuts.

The pane buttons on the bottom left corner of the Timeline Panel are almost too small.The first two have keyboard shortcuts attached to them - factory settings.First:A shortcut for the In/Out/Duration/Stretch panes is sorely missing, and I cannot find an option to add it via the shortcut assignment window.Please assign a shortcut for toggling it on/of, or allow such manual assignment.Second:I realize that the ToolTips of the panes that DO have shortcuts - do not show the shortcuts in their ToolTips. I suspect many users may have an epiphany realizing this.Please unify this behavior!Thanks a lot,gratefully yours! 

After Effects requires more basic audio filters, effects, and restoration features than Premiere Pro. Sometimes, to correct noise or other issues in a video's audio, we either need to import the video into Premiere Pro or export it as audio in Audition and then export the audio separately. In After Effects, the only solution available is the High-Low Pass filter, and it's not sufficient on its own. Searching for solutions in different programs for simple, in-program fixes complicates the process.Premiere Pro’s Audio Effects PanelAfter Effect’s Audio Effects panel 

After Effects needs a language settings feature that will make it easier to type text in other languages. For example, if the entire title needs to be in uppercase and a word in the title contains the letter "i," it needs to appear as a capital "İ" in the language you're writing in. If you've already written the title and use the All Caps feature, and the "i" in the text is lowercase, it will appear in English format as a capital "I." There are temporary solutions, of course. For example, not using the All Caps feature and typing manually, or manually correcting any problematic characters after applying All Caps. However, programs like Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign offer a very simple solution: a language selection option in the text options. This way, if someone writes in Turkish, for example, it will appear according to Turkish spelling rules. (After Effects also supports significantly fewer languages ​​compared to the other three programs, which is another necessity). The lac

With the announcement of RTX Spark hardware, it would be helpful to get confirmation on whether Adobe After Effects will support it.RTX Spark appears to be some of the most powerful consumer-focused hardware currently available, and support for After Effects could be a major time-saver for rendering, previews, and wider motion graphics/VFX pipelines.NVIDIA has stated:“NVIDIA is partnering with Adobe to rearchitect Adobe Premiere and Photoshop for RTX Spark.”NVIDIA has also said:“Adobe will further extend Premiere and Photoshop to allow users to create, edit and design with Windows agents, providing creators with a collaborative teammate to accelerate their workflows. Updates to Adobe’s creative apps like Premiere, Photoshop and Substance are expected to start rolling out alongside RTX Spark availability.”Given that After Effects is such a key part of many Adobe video and motion graphics workflows, it would be useful to know:Whether After Effects will be supported on RTX Spark hardware.

when I hit L L for the hotkey to reveal the audio wave form, I would like to also have Audio Levels visible too.   I've never wanted to see the audio level stopwatch without seeing the wave form a the same time.  right now 1 L will open the stop watch,  and 2 will hide stop watch and reveal waveform.  

Dear Adobe After Effects Team,First, I would like to thank you for the incredible progress made in the native 3D workflow inside After Effects. The addition of GLB, glTF, FBX, and OBJ support has opened many new possibilities for motion designers and artists who rely on After Effects as their primary creative environment.I would like to submit a feature request that I believe would have a significant impact on the future of After Effects: native support for Alembic (.ABC) files.Alembic has become an industry-standard format for exchanging complex animated geometry between 3D applications. It is widely used for: Ocean and water simulations Cloth simulations Hair and fur animation Destruction and VFX caches Geometry Nodes workflows Vertex and point-level animation High-end character deformation caches Currently, many artists can import static or skeletal animated models into After Effects, but simulations and vertex-based animations are often lost because they rely on geometr
