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 think the whole CS3 & CS4 package behaves this way with Spaces, so its not an OpenGL thing. Ive seen this in Flash, Photoshop, Illustrator and AE. Windows get left behind when moving between Spaces and sometimes the UI doesnt show up! I got so frustrated with this I stopped using Spaces entirely :( I was hoping CS4 would fix this but it did not.

    try disabling OpenGL in After effects entirely, maybe it interacts with the graphics card/output or don't use spaces at all. try using exposé instead if you can't live with(out) the clutter :)

    Is this an OS problem or a Adobe problem? CS3 got confused about Leopard's Spaces. And so does CS4. See my vid: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qTYUnXieuKc

    I'd like the Save dialog to not be super tiny. I keep resizing it every time I save something, but it keeps showing up really tiny and you can only see like 3 rows of text.

    I'd love After Effects to understand or remember that I don't have a 640x480 display.

    It would be great too if imported Illustrator text layers could be converted to Editable Text.

    Hey Rick.
    Just to clarify, what I was saying was I want text that is created in AE using the type tool to be preserved as editable text in Photoshop when you use the "Composition > Save Frame As > Photoshop Layers..." command.

    What you're mentioning is a great feature, and I've been loving it for the past few releases. I would like to have the same behavior going in the other direction (AE to Photoshop).

    It's already there. Just select the text layer then go to the Menu>Layer>Convert to Editable Text.

    It's been there since CS3, maybe even AE7

    It would be nice if when exporting a comp as a layered PSD file, the editable text would be preserved as editable text in Photoshop.

    I'd really like to be able to use Photoshop Brushes in After Effects. I can't believe this isn't possible yet. Cinema 4D lets you do it and it's not even an Adobe program.
