Bug Report: Immersive Environment Projection Options

everyone: "This is essential... removing the feature is just ridiculous..."

adobe: "this is so us! but we have a new mobile app that nobody in the industry wants!"



maybe this is the last straw to leave adobe for good... i am fed up...

Has anyone figured out a solution to this problem yet? I'm thinking I'll probably just switch to Fusion. (Unless anyone has a better alternative?) This sucks because I really didn't want to have to learn a new software since I just spent a lot of time learning After Effects and now I can't use it for what I was going to use it for. The info on their website is wrong. I thought Adobe was more reliable than this and I'm irritated that I spent money on this and it doesn't work the way they said. Honestly I'm considering filing a lawsuit because this is false advertising; the website said it would work and that's part of why I bought the software. Ridiculous. Whoever made the decision to cripple the VR workflow should be fired.

Wow the fact that they removed the Immersive Environment and knew that it wasn't coming back (since it wasn't going to be an easy fix and wasn't on any roadmaps) and didn't tell anyone is kinda rude tbh.

It's sad (and quite baffling) that Adobe has chosen to remove these features right when the VR industry is taking off (regardless of any reasons they give). My company has been using Adobe editing products for years, and now we unfortunately have to move to another platform to continue a proper workflow.

You are loosing all customers that are working with 360!
Please fix this!

PLEASE put the VR editing feature back!

I have been creating 360 content in After Effects since 2017 and I loved using Skybox 360 player and Rift to edit in the Headset. I was thrilled when it was made part of the software instead of a plugin. Now I have to work blindly because this functionality has been removed in the recents versions that are available to install. I would reinstall a AE 2017, but I am not able to now. Adobe will only let me install versions back to 2020. Adobe PLEASE put this VR editing feature back. I need to be able to edit in the headset from AE. The dynamic link workaround from AE to Premiere Pro is a huge struggle with lots of instability. The immersive preview on HMD worked beautifully before. You removed this function it at a time when the Headset Displays (Oculus Quest in my case) were finally more affordable, no sensors to deal with, and much less tethered. As an artist, realtime VR creating/editing in headset is extremely helpful and efficient. At least please explain to us why this function has been removed. If there is something better in the works it would be terrifc to know, and if it is never going to be supported in AE again that's important to know as well. The lack of communication about the future of the functionality is what is so disappointing and the fact that there are no suitable workarounds. I have been using AE since ~1993 when it was still CoSA. I am so disappointed by this. Please help us with this issue. Thank you and please forward this issue to Victoria Nece, Senior Product Manager, Motion Graphics and Visual Effects at Adobe if possible.
