AFTER EFFECTS WISHLIST



What features would you like to see implemented in After Effects? New ideas for plugins? Interface changes? Post 'em here!

Let's keep bug identification to individual posts, as these will probably be addressed more readily. Let's use this thread for specific ideas about ways that AE can be improved and expanded.

These Forums are for users, not Adobe employees, so don't forget to also fill in an  Adobe feature request form.

To view the Wish List posts prior to 2008, look here.

    The ability for keyframes on multiple selected layers to be able to be copied and pasted onto their respective layers. Currently, the layers themselves will copy/paste. Or, perhaps a toggle switch in the preferences that would allow this behavior.

    A preference that toggles the spacebar to RamPreview button. This should be on by default, to clear space on forums.

    Spotlight would be awesome! In fact, I'd love AE projects to be searchable. Having the ability to search for comp names or source footage names within projects from the Finder would be fantastic.

    Also, someone may have mentioned this but it would be great for individual projects to default the location of rendered files to the last place a file was rendered by THAT PROJECT or even that comp, rather than the last place rendered to by anything in After Effects.

    I Wish there was a nuke in after affects, oh and it wouldn't hurt to have some kittens or puppies strapped on it, you know, I would pay for that

    I'd love a setting either in the preferences or the output module to write project information (importantly: the name of the project) into the metadata of the rendered file.

    I don't know too much about Windows file systems, but on the Mac, it would be great to write it to the Spotlight Comments section.

    I don't know if this has been mentioned already, but:

    I'd like to have a more functional footage viewer. Right now there is no way to play back image sequences in realtime without RAM previewing them, and the movie viewer that lets you view movies ignores interpretation settings like alpha, pixel aspect ratio, and pulldown removal. This means to view movies as interpreted by AE I have to drop the movies in a comp and do a RAM preview, which is a pain.

    "The interface with Photoshop's vanishing point is a little incomplete at the moment. What I'd really love to see is a vanishing point-like tool in AE for creating planes and a camera in 3D space in AE directly whose perspective could be matched to an underlying video layer. "

    SynthEyes can create an AE camera based on a still or video layer, although I haven't attempted that.. There's a tutorial on the site that demonstrates it, though...
