Open Production Bins in PanelsOpen for Voting

Okay, so hear me out here. We can open bins in new panels within a project, but if a bin is in a production - we can't do the same. Why not include this functionality in bins within a production?And why would we do this? Let's say you're working with a team who has a very flat production structure, basically a production bin for each editor.  I only want my production bin visible in a panel, because I have a whole independent organization of several bins and projects. Instead, the way productions currently works, I must see the whole production panel, with a bunch of other editors individual folders. (There are 5 other editors whose bins are above mine, so halfway down my productions panel is where MY bin/project structure begins).Adding the functionality where production bins could be opened in new panels would be a huge improvement over the current UX. Individual editors could see only the parts of the production that are relevant to them.

Highlighting re-worded textOpen for Voting

In recording, I have to stop, go back, and start from the beginning of the paragraph. In editing, I might start some editing, only to get stopped because I forgot I re-ran that paragraph again.  It would be nice if Text could see that and warn me of a possible edits. So I would see something like thisL   If a simialar word structure shows up within 20 words (for example), the first instance gets highlighted, indicating I might have to fix an area.  If I take 2-3 runs at the same sentance, it would extend the 20 word view so I can catch that it took me 4-5 times to go through this.  Having this text be more predictive will help me continue to edit without getting stopped, or frustrated because I have to do that part again.

Restore Project Panel Folders to Original Twirl-Down State After SearchUnder Review

Make it so that after I search for an item in the After Effects project panel the original folder structure honors the twirl-down state before the search was invoked after I clear the search to restore visibility of the other assets. Stop completely twirling up all the folders I had twirled open before the search. Thank you

Default Transition PositionOpen for Voting

In preferences, you can set a length for default transitions, but not a position. Once the transition is in place, you can go into Effect Controls and set it to End at Cut, Center at Cut, and Start at Cut, but it would be nice to be able to set that parameter as a default, so I don't have to move it everytime I drop in a default transition. Thank you.

Color en Variables y nombres en variables desde tabla EXCELOpen for Voting

Seria muy interesante si en las variables se pudiera agregar el color de un objeto en especifico, por ejemplo tengo 50 variables y que cada uno tenga un color diferente de un vector seleccionado segun un codigo HEX en dicho objeto, además si las variables puedan nombrarse desde una tabla EXCEL facilitaria mucho la produccion en masa de pagkaging por ejemplo.Las variables son una gran herramienta con mucho potencial lastima que aún no tiene algunas opciones como de poder variar el color y otras cosas mas lo cual lo haría muy poderozo. Actualmente para hacer eso uso vinculos externos con su color asignado, pero creo que si fuese algo directo desde las variables ahorraria mucho tiempo a la hora de producir packaging que solo varian colores, nombres en textos e imagenes.

2 Views Horizontal/VerticalOpen for Voting

Hi everyone,I’m currently working on a very wide composition (11520x1152 px) with a camera and lots of 3D layers. In older versions of After Effects, it was possible to arrange the 2 Views either side by side (Horizontal) or stacked (Vertical).This option was removed years ago (for whatever reason?). When I use two comp views side by side, everything becomes extremely small at this resolution, which makes working with 3D layers and camera perspectives unnecessarily complicated.With a Vertical view (stacked), I could make much better use of my screen space and work far more efficiently. So my request is:
Could you please bring back the option to switch between 2 Views Horizontal and 2 Views Vertical in After Effects? For everyone working with extremely wide formats, this would be a huge improvement.Thanks a lot!

Left-clicking a label color to bring up a "Select Label Color" dialogue box would be nice.Open for Voting

App version: 25.4.1 (Build 3)Platform: Mac Sequoia 15.5 Idea: In the project window, left-clicking on a label color should bring up a dialogue box containing all the label colors for quick and easy changing of label colors. This is a feature in After Effects that's been around for many years, and I love how simple it is to change label colors in that program. But in Premiere, left-clicking a label color does nothing. You have to right-click the label (or the bin, or the file, etc.), which brings up a dialogue box with many options. Then you have to find "Label" in the list and mouse over it, which brings up the label color options, then finally select the color you want (assuming you don't accidentally lose the label colors window while moving the mouse to it, which is easy to do). I know this idea would make for only a minor time save, but when you utilize colored labels frequently, it gets tiresome going through that procedure over and over, especially having come from working in AE for many years before becoming a Premiere user. It's actually so noticably slower to me, I bought a Stream Deck just to allow me to utilize macro buttons to apply color labels with the push of a button (which is awesome; highly recommend for this). But I'd love it if Premiere simply utilized the label changing method AE is already using.

Can't Right Click and Hit Copy or SaveOpen for Voting

Hey Adobe Firefly team, loving the creative potential of Firefly, but there's a small yet frustrating issue: we can't right-click to copy or save generated images directly. Having to navigate through menus or buttons to download feels like an extra step that slows down the workflow. Adding right-click options for "Save Image As" or "Copy Image" would make the experience so much smoother and more intuitive, especially for users accustomed to those shortcuts in other creative tools.

Expanded functionality and improving UX on bitmap nodeUnder Review

Hi Substance team, I have been using the bitmap node more and more recently, and it has been mostly great to work with. I am hoping for some UX improvement for the bitmap node, such as adding a shortcut to change brush size, being able to easily toggle pen pressure (like in Painter). Some simple cut and move tools within the bitmap node itself would also be nice. As well as color palette. I know some of these features are harder to implement than the others but I would like to see the Bitmap node be improved upon. I would love to be able to work non-destructively in a node-based system like Designer as opposed to Photoshop, or having a more limited procedural toolset like in Painter.Thank you!

Generating thumbnailsReleased

Why on opening Substance Painter do the shelf thumbnails all need to regenerated, indicated by the generating thumbnails message? Admittedly I have a lot of assets in my shelf, some of which are complex, but generating the complete set every time I open the application just adds unnecessary delays. As a comparison, when I open Lightroom I have the equivalent to 20,000 thumbnails (previews) instantly available they are not regenerated every time. I can fully understand the need to generate fresh thumbnails on new or modified assets, or even on all assets if the application has been updated or the 3D engine changed. However, surely the principle of a thumbnail cache should be that unchanged assets can use a previously generated thumbnail.   So the idea is : To use previously generated thumbnails unless the asset is new, marked as modified, or the application has changed.Dave

P: LR Mobile Camera: Tilt MeterOpen for Voting

When shooting straight down, the tilt meter comes in handy. When trying to get the camera flat with no distortion, it shows tilt from left to right. But it doesn’t show tilt up and down. In other words, when the lens is perfectly flat, the reading of the tilt meter should register in 2 ways. This is the tilt meter from the Pro Camera app. Easy to see when the camera is flat and the V + H colors align:

AE 2025 – Render Queue doesn’t keep my last settingsOpen for Voting

Hi,In AE 2025 every time I add a comp to the Render Queue it goes back to the default “Best Settings” + “Lossless.”In older versions AE remembered my last render settings and output module, which was much faster.Would be great if AE could keep the last used settings again — it saves a lot of time.Thanks!

FEATURE REQUEST: AI Generation: Day to Dusk/Night conversion.Open for Voting

Feature Request:   Currently, other AI generation can do this with meiocre results - I've only found one (on a real estate based AI gen site) that will not change the architectural shape of the building. I've attached what I'm looking for from that web site: changing the lighting in a photo from day to night without changing the content. Why is this useful to us?   We render proposed architectural signs onto photos of buildings.  If those signs are illuminated, it's helpful to be able to show the sign as it will look at night.  Most of the time our sales reps only get shots of the site during the day.

File-Embedded Actions for Photoshop DocumentsOpen for Voting

Feature Request: File-Embedded Actions for Photoshop DocumentsI would like to propose a feature that allows Photoshop users to embed specific Actions directly into a PSD or PSB file.Concept:When an Action is created, it can be mapped to a specific file and saved as part of that file's metadata.When the file is opened in Photoshop, the associated Action automatically appears in the Actions Panel and prompts the user to run it.This would be ideal for template files, mockups, and client deliverables where specific steps are always required upon opening.Benefits:Streamlines workflows by auto-loading necessary Actions.Reduces the need to manually export/import .atn files.Makes sharing template files with clients or teams more efficient.Enables version-controlled Actions directly inside the PSD.This would be a huge boost for automation and workflow efficiency.I would love to see this considered for a future update. Thank you!#Photoshop, #FeatureRequest, #Automation, #Actions, #Workflow

CC Library not workingOpen for Voting

I have contacted Adobe for help on this issue four times and it has not been fixed. Ever since version 25, I have not been able to use the latest version of Photoshop because the Library assets do not work. This is true for all of my libraries. I can not even add assets to a new library. I can create the library, but nothing I drag and drop gets added. This is the case for both brushes and colours, so it is not only a brushes issue.Trying to get new brushes from Adobe using the "Get More Brushes" menu option does not work because the link does not lead to an Adobe webpage where I can download new brushes to replace the libraries that are not working.I updated to 26, and the problem has not been fixed. My only option right now to keep working on my major project is to go back to version 24, which is not a long-term solution.I am using Windows 11 home-64 bit on a desktop. All of my drivers are up to date.

FEATURE REQUEST: Add/adjust fades to multiple audio clipsOpen for Voting

I'm sure someone has requested this already (couldn't find it though). In PP you can select a stack of audio clips and add a fade to them. But you can't adjust all the fades at once. Especially with the newer drag to create crossfade/fade feature, this seems like a no brainer. Select your stack of audio clips, or click on a stack of linked clips, drag one fade and adjust and it does that on all selected clips. I'm often working with 6-8 audio tracks associated with the same clip (multuple mics and mixes) and it's a hassle and time consuming to have to drag each individual fade handle and eyeball its accuracy.

P: LR Mobile Camera: Default SharpeningOpen for Voting

The default sharpening is 40% for anything shot with the LR camera. It would be great to be able to adjust this. I can set the import sharpening level for anything shot with the phone camera app or a 3rd party app, but not the LR camera.  One thing I'd like to know is that if the photo has increased sharpening in the Develop mode, is any output sharpening added to this amount? If so, a good reason set a default low or off for the camera.

P: LR Mobile Camera: Changing LensesOpen for Voting

The method of changing lenses would be simpler/faster with 3 different buttons, and not the one that I have to press/toggle through. Floating down a stream in a kayak trying to get a quick shot would be so much better not having to go through the lenses. I almost never shoot Ultra Wide, so that as a choice just slows down the process. And the shot floats away.

P: LR Mobile Camera: Shoot Through ProfilesOpen for Voting

The shoot through Pro profiles (esp. the High Contrast B+W) are a great feature. It would be helpful if they could be user-modified/created. That way users could add the effects/adjustments they want to be their shooting defaults.

Genuine Feedback from a Long-Time Premiere Pro UserOpen for Voting

This isn't meant to be criticism for the sake of it, but rather honest feedback from someone who's been using Premiere Pro for a years. At this point, it’s clear that Premiere is falling behind when it comes to advanced editing capabilities. Adobe has been in the game for a long time, yet software like DaVinci Resolve has not only caught up but surpassed Premiere in several areas — from color grading to stability, performance, and even pricing. Hoping that meaningful improvements would come with each update. But every release seems to bring minor changes, more bugs, and crashes, rather than addressing long-requested features. The much-anticipated rotoscope tool was announced long ago, and still nothing. No significant updates to color grading, masking, tracking, or even performance — all things that modern editors rely it  lacks, as editing nowadays has been upgraded. Meanwhile, even platforms like CapCut are innovating at a faster pace and has much better features. It’s frustrating to pay a monthly subscription only to feel like you're stuck using outdated tools. Most of my colleagues have already migrated to DaVinci Resolve. I stayed and kept using premiere pro hoping that good feature will come — but with every time there is disappointment , it's harder to justify. Even major YouTubers and professionals have openly voiced their disappointment and made the switch. Switch wasn't easy but I feel everyone were forced when they had no options. If Adobe doesn’t seriously upgrade Premiere Pro — or even consider rewriting it from the ground up — I’m afraid more users will leave. This is genuine feedback, not out of hate, but from someone who wants to see Premiere Pro be what it should be. Please, Adobe: listen to your community and bring this software up to the level we know you're capable of.

Preserve Current UI Layout When Opening ProjectReleased

One of the bigger frustrations I have with AE comes up when I open a project created by someone else, and the AE UI converts to THAT person's layout. I can think of 0 instances in which that would be of any use. I know I can go to Window->Workspace and call my saved layout back up, but why should I have to? Please change this behavior.
