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.

    I'd like the ability to enable or disable multiprocessing in the render settings. Some projects benefit from MP, while some are hindered by it, and keeping those that benefit straight from those that don't can be difficult when I work on several projects during the course of a day.

    Either that or a more efficient multiprocessing system that obviates the need for end users to make these sorts of choices in the first place.

    I presume that you've already asked the folks who make Useful Things to update their software.

    How about developing whatever function/feature is required so I can use USEFUL Things again. Lost it between CS2 and CS3.

    - I still want an expression palette -- a standard place to write expressions and apply them to parameters. Having the twirl open controls and write expressions in the timeline is a pain.

    You're right David. This is what happens when you try to work and type at the same time. :-)

    Invisiblerabbit, you can already add expression control filters to nulls - I do that all the time with a null named 'CONTROLS'.

    Perhaps you meant 'cameras and lights'...

    Two simple interface things:

    1: The ability to add expression control filters to cameras and nulls

    2: The ability to edit expressions from within the effects controls palette.

    I would like to have some form of a plugin manager to easily manage plugins within after effects

    invisiblerabbit, while it's not as convenient, you can limit the number of processors used for multiprocessing by editing the preference file:
