A PROPER alignment tool.

The most useful way to align two or more layers
is to first select all the layers to be moved
and then the one you want to align them to. (the last one shouldn't move!)

The way it is now (it moves both of them), is quite useless as it doesn't help designing a layout at all.

(Also a button to center hor. or vert. a layer to the comp would be great!)

Laer,

If I understood you correctly what you wrote:

-A means to truly solo a layer (soloing it unsolos any other layers, and a way to unsolo all layers with a button/key press)

Try holding Alt while pressing the solo switch.

i agree to josh 100%

Photoshops new adjustment layer has AMAZING control over level and hue/saturation by selecting the part of the picture with your mouse.

Color adjustments like that in AE would be worth hundreds of dollars to me.

If not then maybe a way to open up your AE project in Photoshop to do the corrections but that's a little backwards I guess. Also AE supports a lot more video codecs like P2, AVCHD ect.

-When using 'Select Label Group', put the initial layer (that you right clicked on) in it's actual place in the selection order, (rather than making it the first one selected, followed by all the others layers with that colour)... So, for example, if you select layer 3 (and layer 1-10 are also in that group), make the selection order 1,2,3,4,5,6....10, rather than 3,1,2,4,5,6...10 as it is now. The way it currently is, using the Select Label Group feature, then sequencing they layers, results in the initial layer being placed incorrectly in the sequencing.

-Ability to still select layer group even if layers are locked, so you can easily select them and unlock them (rather than having to go through and unlock each manually). Of course, they would still be locked/excluded from any actions (moves, etc), though.

-Some sort of extrude feature for layers (3D) based on the layer's alpha, so you could give layers sides and back which rotate along with the layer as if the layer were a true 3D shape

-A means to truly solo a layer (soloing it unsolos any other layers, and a way to unsolo all layers with a button/key press)

-An option to have the footage thumbnail in the layer's timeline bar

-STABILITY!! CS3 has a bad habit of giving me bogus memory errors, or just suddenly disappearing and dumping me to the desktop (which didn't happen for me with AE7)
