Folders in After Effects timeline

Yes this would also be great for parenting. It is such a mess how parenting is right now - its like looking in the yellow pages for an phone number or address. Also you have no indication if a layer has a child. 

Please ADD that feature!

working in AE IS such a pain without it...

Credit to him, but I feel like with thousands I've paid to Adobe over the years, I shouldn't have to pay another $100 dollars to a third party to get basic functionality

This guy has fixed that problem: [Workflower](https://aescripts.com/workflower/).
He is Prometheus

Ah OK... well in that case... 

Oh gee, you know the ONE thing I would really hate for Adobe to do right now is add timeline folders.  I persnoally HATE basic functionality, it would really make me reconsider continuing my subscription to CC if they did this 😉 

HOW HAVE THEY NOT BOTHERED TO DO THIS YET?????

Hey, Adobe: We've decided that we DON'T want folders now. Ok? So whatever you do, please do not add folders to After Effects. Thank you!

We've spent years asking for folders in After Effects, to no avail. But we've never tried asking NOT to have folders! Maybe that's the key we've been missing this whole time! It's classic reverse psychology!!! 

After Effects is the only Adobe app with no direct equal, so if Adobe can't make money from it then they're as bad at business as they are at developing apps. For all its faults, AE is literally the only reason I have a CC subscription

I wonder if there's a particular reason Adobe can't be bothered to implement this basic feature. 

Sadly I think it is more likely a lack of motivation. After Effects doesn't make a lot of money, so it's not a priority. Just a guess though
