Make grain work in 32bit mode. Without it we can't work in ACES. Without ACES After Effects is pretty much not able to be used in professional projects :/

It’s pretty much it.

Make grain work in 32bit mode - so it doesn’t clip highlights.

The entire professional movie industry has switched to ACES - and you know that because you did put ACES into AE.

But the one effect we use in every single shot - grain - is still 16bit, WTF?

This has been reported years ago, and i mean like 7-8 years ago now.

Do not introduce any new features, stop the development - just give us 32bit grain - then you can go back to whatever else you’ve been playing with.

Also, you might look into ACES2.0? Netflix is beginning to demand studios working in ACES2.0 and AE is still stuck on 1.3 :/
