New Keyframe "Halo"

Why do you guys change things that are not broken and that nobody is asking to be changed?

The new keyframe "halo" obscures adjacent keyframes when they are close or the timeline is pulled out.

I really hate banging my head against a wall but you guys have enough things to fix with this software to keep you busy for the next 5 years.  Why are you making changes for the sake of making changes?  Are you being paid "per change" or something?  STOP IT!  Who is making these decisions?  Who is requesting changing how selected keyframes display?   Anybody?   Who made this decisions and why?   I demand names! 🙂  smiling cause I'm uh-sposed to. 🙂

Colored keyframes have been requested for quite a while, and I believe this new method of demonstrating what's selected was a necessary by-product.

Keyframes have been colored for as long as I've used AE.  The entire keyframe used to turn blue when selected.  Before that they truned yellow.   So I honestly don't even undrestand what you're talking about.

If your keyframes can now BE yellow, blue, or any other color all the time and by choice, they kind of needed a new strategy for showing selection, right?

I actually like it. I think it is easier to see what keyframes you have selected and move one to the left or right.

That depends on how many frames are between the keys and how far out you are zoomed in the timeline.  

One adjustment I have had to make is working zoomed in further and with a shorter work area.  Maybe I should have been working this way all along.  Nevertheless, I believe the team has better things they could be doing with their time.
