This page lists some of the new features: After Effects CC new features | Faster importing options

This page has the full list (including some very handy little workflow tweaks): New features summary | April 2018 release of After Effects CC

Master Properties is my favorite new feature, but the new puppet tool engine is also pretty huge. I'd suggest reading through all of the changes and, for goodness' sake, if you're in the middle of a production, you might think twice before updating!

    Yeah another update that doesn't work correctly.

    I'm having an issue with the Warp Stabilizer, it's taking ages to stabilize a clip imported from Premiere.

    I have the same issue, after the update, I have that white box and Cant render and the most annoying thing is duplicating the project

    Maybe it is just a coincidence but right after this update my After Effects has some display issues:

    - one of the JPGs used in my project had to be re-saved in Photoshop and re-uploaded to AE.

    - no preview (or maybe it just takes forever to load now) in one of the Comp Viewers.

    Haven't tried it yet but if I understand you can now open mograph templates exported from the essential graphics panel as projects in AE.

    If this is what I think it is then I finally have a reason to try out the essential graphics panel.

    Always seemed so stupid to me to put such a powerful tool for creating templates in After Effects that could not be used by After Effects.

    Hopefully now that has changed.

    I think the best part of the update might be this:

    After Effects User Voice site.

    It means we can see what they can see - and hopefully, helps us get some action on the stuff that really matters.

    Hope springs eternal... and all that

    i like that too.  Voting on existing ideas is so much better than everyone having to submit their own request.  Seems like maybe someone finally had their second cup of coffee over there, huh?
