Timeline folders. We have them in Animate, Photoshop, Illustrator... precomps can utterly ruin your work and is NOT an alternatives to having a simple folder hierarchy - especially when dealing with shape layers or anything that requires continual rasterization.

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.

This would be the single biggest thing that could be done to improve my experience of using After Effects.

I'm sure it would be the same for a lot of people, especially neuro-divergent folks with ADHD etc. Having things buried in precomps heavily increases the mental burden of using the software.
