Have new features according to user needs, not what your marketing team thinks

@jenkmeister17177426thank you for the improvements that have occurred in AE since you joined the team.

I'd like improved UI performance on Windows.

I'm on Windows 10/AMD CPU/NVIDIA platform, dual-displays, and my timeline responsiveness gets very slow if I have a bunch of keyframes visible/selected or the graph editor open. Typically this involves shape layers, even with outlines hidden. Makes me wonder if the UI can't keep up (and I remember a comment years ago about UI speed improvements coming!). If I shrink my timeline so fewer layers are visible, or I select fewer keyframed properties, voila, speeds go up a bit. If I shrink to a single display the UI gets quicker again.

Thanks!

Wow, there's like 5 things in there! 

Well a decade ago Adobe were still putting out (relatively) well made software. Things have changed. 

@InfiniteWhale If you filter the posts in the Ideas forum by the Status "Released", you will see requests that have been implemented and released.

No one is acting like that. I am sorry if we haven't picked your feature request. We get 100s a month. We are continuing to prioritize and deliver as we can. Your request for timeline folders is high on the priority list. 

It's wild!  They act as if we're not paying a subscription for this software.

After Effects has become an apalling mess and Adobe is a joke of a company.  Why on earth are the new features etc., being driven by your marketing department instead of what users want and need?  We're in a ridiculous position where updating After Effects with the hope of fixing one lot of bugs just introduces a whole load more.  Can someone with a bit of backbone at Adobe suggest to their bosses that they are f***ing the company?  The ONLY reason I still have CC is because they offered me money off when I went to cancel, but I'm slowly shifting my workflow away from Adobe completely because they cannot make a decent piece of software. 

 

Adobe, please DO YOUR JOB so that I can do mine!

@InfiniteWhale Not sure about this forum, but I've previously requested things and they've come to fruition. The developers used to get actively involved in chats - but this is going back about a decade. My first ever feature request was to have Auto-save ON by default; in the olden days, if you installed a new version of AE, the auto-save pref would default back to "off"...which obviously you'd only discover after a crash had destroyed hours of work! So you've got me to thank if you've ever reverted to an auto-saved version (kind of.....😂).

content aware video fill is trash

Have the AE team ever actually implemented any of the requests made in this forum?

@Chriso M8 

There's a prior feature request for this that could use more votes.  Personally, I'd love to see the same behavior as Illustrator for rounded corners.  That is, being able to change the corner radius in After Effects in the same way we can change the corner radius of live shapes in Illustrator.
