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

The auto save popping up and interrupting my work flow and concentration is absolutely infuriating and quite frankly an insult to all users. It's almost as though Adobe have created this software(which is basically a copy of FCP7), taken our money and then just left us for dead as they walk off into the sunset laughing whilst counting our cash. It's incredible that such a small problem is big enough to make every serious film maker so annoyed that they end up hating the over all software and yet they do absolutely nothing about it. After I finish my latest project I am defecting to FCP X. Pathetic.

Absolutely agree with this and all the comments, frequent auto saving is a best practice but on large projects the auto saves become obnoxious and very frustrating.

It's 2019 now Adobe you can auto save in the background just like every other modern application does.

Come on Adobe devs please! This auto-save popup is really annoying, there are not even any third-party scripts that can fix this issue.

Drives me crazy

Er, as a follow up to the comment I submitted prematurely...
Since AE won't run scripts while a dialog is open and it's busy, rarely (but still frequently enough to be an issue), I try and run a script right as autosave begins, which will crash / break my script.

It can also break scripts, since AE won't run scripts while a dialog is open...

Ha! As I was about to type this, the autosave box popped up over the browser. It's pretty rude, but also as others said, completely disruptive when you have a big project. I try to keep my projects neat and lean but sometimes in the crunch you have to just throw assets all over the place and don't delete them from the project panel when they're unused. It would be great for that not to impact the time it takes to autosave, so that you can get on with work and worry about project bin aesthetics later on.

Yes this is incredibly annoying! Come on Adobe it's 2018, can't we autosave in the background just like Final Cut Pro 7 did in 2005???

Ugh for real. I've complained about this to Adobe before. It's super problematic when I'm reviewing work with a client in another program like Illustrator and that stupid box pops up over top of EVERYTHING else. It's the worst.
