AFTER EFFECTS WISH LIST (Prior to Sept 09)

True 3D layer support.

I want to be able to twist, warp and re-shape a flat layer into a 3D object, not just move it around in 3D space.

At some point, Adobe is gonna have to do more than just "2D" rendering of "3D" objects. I know AE is not a 3D modeling program and I don't think it every should be, but I do think I should be able to bring a 3D object into AE and it should be rendered as a 3D object so that I can build scenes inside of AE.

Also, Adobe needs to buy Maxon or a 3D company and truly integrate the product into the CS product line. It's the only piece really missing from Adobe.

Hellz yeah!!

I'd like a public Beta of AE CS4 to coincide with the announcement on Sept 23, 2008.

Because it's the native format for Cinema4D renders. If a Quicktime movie fails to assemble, I would be able to go back to the usable source .b3d render files.

Why bodypaint files?

- The ability to import Cinema 4D .b3d image files.

It sure seems that if everyone above who dislikes the graph editor put in a feature request the web site might be overloaded! Is Adobe listening???? Add me to the list.

I would also like to copy and paste bezier values from one graph to another, or duplicate lines.

Also the graph should not always auto select the keyframe of interest (often the wrong keyframe of several in the same spot.)

Also, some non linear functions to keyframes, like in addition to linear and bezier there could be "gravity" or "acceleration" to simulate the effect of gravity or an acceleration force.

now that per-character 3D text is possible, how about Shape layer repeaters that work in 3D ?

buy Trapcode! Soundkeys (or something more robust than Convert Audio To Keyframes) would be a nice native plugin to have.

make Autotrace more robust; like Illustrator's Livetrace, but for video and/or nested comps.

I would also like to see some "easy" animating features example like this kind of feature http://www.maxon.net/pages/products/new/r11/mov_ghosting.php
