This video shows Changing UI Font Size. Is this a acceptable way? because there is no feature in preference tool.

    Thanks for reaching out!

     

    Unfortunately, After Effects doesn’t have a built-in option to directly change the UI font size. This has been a long-standing request, and UI elements generally scale automatically based on display/DPI settings rather than a manual control in preferences.

    As a workaround, you can try adjusting your OS display scaling or resolution, which will affect how AE’s UI appears. Some older workarounds (like changing hidden console settings) are not recommended and may not work reliably in newer versions.

    Let me know if there are any other questions.

     

    Thanks,

    Nishu

    Odd because I swear someone recently said Adobe was finally making this top priority? How about a real update?

    It's been top priority for years. Then again, they took 7 years removing and er-enabling H.264 output, and about the same with MFR, and EXR import is still an addon.

      They removed the feature.

      Because of course they did. They're an AI company now, don't expect human features.

      Oh but keep paying and making bug reports. That's important. You're paying for a service after all.
