Feature Requests

I don't know if you can already but the thumbnails have always been so small and expecially with social aspect ratios it's impossible to make them out.  Please give us the option to make them bigger.THANKS

I recently posted a question asking about this, because I felt it was a feature I had been misusing. I hadn't expected to learn that it was simply not a feature at all.As part of my job, I create MOGRTs for my video team. I also update and maintain them and add new features as the team requests them.  I wanted to start making use of Adobe Libraries. My thought was that I could make changes to a MOGRT and it would automatically update the MOGRTs in the Shared Library so that when my team member's open Premiere Pro, they'd automatically get the update. What I found was that instead of updating the MOGRT in the Library, it created a new MOGRT file in the Library. Now my team has a library with multiple versions of the same MOGRT in it, all with the same name, and it's very confusing as to which is the most up to date version. This is not ideal.What I propose is allowing for the ability to replace existing MOGRTs within a Shared Adobe Library. Perhaps this could show up as a new check

Quando teremos uma versão da Adobe CC para Linux?

It would be a very helpful addition to be able to replace the referenced property of an existing essential property. I could see this working in a similar way to asset replacement in the Project panel, in that a user could Alt-drag a property onto an existing EP in the EP panel to replace it. (Of course, the two property types would need to match for this to take effect.) Example use case:My EP panel has a Scale property; this is linked to the Scale of a shape object. Later, I realise that I would be better served to have the shape parented to a null, and to change the scale of the null instead. However, because this comp is already in use elsewhere in the project, with adjustments made to the Scale EP, if I were to delete this EP and create a new one, all of those adjustments are lost and need to be redone. With my suggested behaviour, if I were to Alt-drag the null's Scale property onto the Scale property in the EP panel, the reference is updated and all of those adjustment

Trying to use the lightsaber add-on and I want to have it follow my reference with no jitter, could really use onion skinning. Also, user interface is garbage; I completed my video in Premiere Pro and transitioned to After Effects to add the lightsaber effect and the difference is jarring.    [abuse removed by moderator]

yeah. that's all folks. plz upvote. 🙂

After Effects doesn't dynamically apply a property value to its object when adjusting it gradually using the scroll wheel or the swipe up/down gesture on a touchpad:   In Illustrator it works well though:  Please fix it. OS: macOS 12.7.1After Effects v24.1.0

I wish, this window would have the option to give a name to the new comp It would look like this:thanks!

There could be a button on a top panel next to the workspaces for fast cycling through the light and dark themes...I constanly go back and forth between the outiside and inside and also within inside I have ambient light space and deep dark working room for colorcorrection so I constanlty go to the settings in order to switch the themes and they tend to open with a slight delay always...

Feature request:  Allow us to provide an x-scale and y-scale parameter to detail preserving upscale so we use it to make cleaner renders from line-skipped 4k content that many modern 8k cameras provide. Why is this valuable to me? Downscaling line-skipped 4k footage by 50% and then performing a detail preserving upscale back to 4k yield a much sharper result than the source footage. I am assuming that this is because line skipping reduces detail and increases aliasing only in the vertical axis but details are preserved in the horizontal axis, so by downscaling than upscaling it re-interpolates and sharpens those details that were missing. Unfortunately, detail preserving upscale does not allow you to only scale in one axis, so  we must also uneccessarily crush the details in the horizontal axis along with the vertical axis in the pre-composition before applying the detail preserving upscale effect.  

Adobe has managed to give us the new Track Matte feature that doesn't depend on layer positioning and that was awesome! Now this would be great. Being able to select some layer/s below the adjustment layer and choose if they are affacted by it. Please upvote con they engineers can take this into consideration!

Would it be possible to tint a layers colour when its Opacity is 0? (Similar to how Premiere Pro handles clips that are not enabled)This could be a good time saver to see at a glance which layers are currently contributing to the composition without twirling into Opacity on multiple layers. See the mock up below.  Thanks 🙂 

I use the render queue for rendering out of AE. As it is now the only indication of the composition that's rendering is tiny "rendering" status label next to the comp name in the queue. I propose a very simple and easy to spot blue color label that goes across the comp name in the queue so it's REALLY easy to tell what's being rendered at the moment. As it stands if you have a long list of stuff in the queue even if it is Done or not, it's hard to spot what's being rendered

If I'm using "Matte Layer 1" as a Track Matte for "Fill Layer 3", and then apply a Track Matte to "Matte Layer 1", it has no effect. Her's an example...I want to isolate the thumb: If I set the "Hand" layer's track matte to layer 2, I get this...all good so far: ...now I want to isolate that thumb, so I set Layer 2 (the hand matte) to use Layer 1 (the rough thumb matte) as a track matte: ...not the desired result. Obviously I Layer 2 should use the matte of Layer 1, but it doesn't.    

Hey! When I want to quickly access the audio level of a layer I press "L", if i click it again it'll come up with the waveform but not the audio levels. So I have to click it once to get the audio levels and then open the waveform manually with the mouse. I think it would make more sense to open both with one shortcut as when adjusting the audio levels it's really useful to see the waveform as well. Alternatively, when pressing L twice show the waveform as well as the audio level. It's a small change but it would saving me quite a lot of time!

Dear Adobe staff,  Could you tell me do you have the way to get a center point of the 360 video by VR Comp editor? There is a 5 mins 360 video that taken to walk within the park where is some corners.I have a tripod with my right hand to shoot the scene and that is slanting sometimes by unwanted signals behind the clouds. And, We cannot walk same pace and walk straight to the destination. It was not like that until 2018. It's not my concentration and capability.So the results of the video is not center point, not the middle of nadir sometimes.Could you kindly consider about providing Adobe user the Youtube video by Jason Levine who provide us the video how to use Adobe products. Otherwise, Mr. Charles Yeager and so on. Best regards,

It would be awesome if AE could have a "Replace Missing Font with ..." screen upon project load.Too many times, we get projects made by other people who use a different version or variation of a fonts.Instead of having to go to "Missing Fonts" in the Project window, and manually replace every occurence, it would be such a time saver to simply designate a substitute font upon load.

There are many times that I am going as large as possible to see as much detail as possible. I maximize my composition window. What I would like is the ability to grab the time at the bottom of that window and use that as a scrub control. (or provide a gizmo to click on to scrub with). Yes, I know I can page up/down to advance the playhead, but a scrub option would be nice as well. 

Allow AE to import AI files stored in Creative Cloud

After Effects needs variable font support. It's crazy that we don't have it yet.

Currently there's no way to make shapes within a shape layer blend additively with other shapes inside that shape layer. This is particularly problematic when using repeaters. For more information, read this Reddit post.

I sometimes change the motion blur setting within a comp (Samples Per Frame, Shutter Angles, etc) and then all of the comps that I do from there have the settings that I changed, and then I don't remember what the default was. It would be nice to have a button that just resets them to default.

I think a it'd be pretty cool if when you select a few layers and then create a null (ctrl+alt+shift+y) it'd auto parent the layers you have selected. I think it could save some time. A potential problem I can see is the null being in the middle of the comp say if you wanted to scale. could be fixed by having the null being created in the median point of the multiple layers.And yes I know you can parent after the fact you've created the null before everyone piles on haha

Youtubers need to create thumbnails. A one-image quick export feature in AE is long overdue.Doing so in After Effects now is way too complex a task. Please simplify. There should be a button underneath the video that I press, select export format and folder. Done.Why do I need to go into render cue just to get a quick image??Please finally create a one-button-one-image export feature in After Effect. Thanks.  

Hi Adobe, how about save workspace settings online to and sync with XLS file on computer.Every update we need migrate some settings to new version.We have GB on Adobe cloud to store file, why not store After Effects settings like workspaces, colors, render presets... and more...photoshop actions, illustrator actions...Thanks.
