BACKGROUND AUTO-SAVE, Auto-save should not interrupt your workflow

I wish AE could do autosaving in the background.

Or if hiding it scares the UI team too much, just please don't make it a modal window. When you're in the flow and you get interrupted it gets annoying. Or, even better, just make it appear in the info column like everything else AE is doing.

Thanks Victoria, but I'm not really interested in using teams projects.
Can't you guys just hide the annoying, productivity killing autosave window? Your users have been asking for years...
Final cut pro had it figured out 15 years ago, with background autosaving with no halt to production.

Thank you Victoria for reaching out. It's great to hear from the team. Also, I didn't know it's now accessible for all CC users. Good job. Will try!

Try Team Projects! All users have access now, and you can save all versions of your project and your work history in one, so there's no autosave window.

Waiting for up to two minutes and having After Effects locked while saving is quite frustrating. Illustrator, Premiere and Photoshop all enable a user to save while working. I'd really appreciate this being added to AE.

strange... This had way more votes last time i checked in. What's the status of implementing this?

Not only is auto-save really intrusive and annoying while working, it's intrusive in the background while AE is minimised. Honestly, I don't understand why autosave has to be so annoying... surely it can do it in the background during inactivity, not the moment I start doing something. It sits there doing nothing for 10 mins, but decides to autosave the second I start moving an object.

Adobe devs; few things are more frustrating when you are under the gun and you have a large project that takes a while to save, and have it auto save, or you instinctively save after doing some work and having to wait 30 seconds to a minute.

It's super disruptive. 30 seconds might not sound like a lot and on average it isn't but on the outliers of the distribution when you have to get something out and you need to save it actually can be a huge advantage / disadvantage to have / not have things saving in the background.

As an addition to this, it can cause scripts and panels to crash (and sometimes requires a restart of the panel or the entire application), if it tries to auto save at the same time as a script tries executing.
