[Catie Bass]

Hi everyone!

I’m here to announce a new feature in After Effects Beta, available today in version 22.3:

Create comp-centered squares and circles with double-click + Shift

You can now create perfect squares or circles with dimensions matching the smallest dimension of the containing Composition by holding Shift while double-clicking the Rectangle or Ellipse Tool.
