Folders in After Effects timeline

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

incompetence. 

There is literally nothing I want more in AE than this... well, I'd like it to be stable and more reliable, but I don't expect that to happen

C'mon Adobe! We need this!

Well it's taken them over 20 years to fix copy and paste of keyframes.  They are a useless company and need a serious overhaul

The most obvious request for the last 15 years. It's 2024 now and we still don't have groups

Adobe LOVES not listening to its users.  I think they're masochists first, a proper company second. 

I'm sorry Dacia, but Essential Properties doesn't help AT ALL. There's nothing to do with what we're asking here. We just want to be able to organize layers in a easier way without having to have a million precomps to navigate. Just like Photoshop.

Adobe we need this... I'm tired of precomps for the only reason of having an overview of my project...
