Please make it so we can paste text UNFORMATTED!!!!!

[Todd_Morgan]

See above!! So if I create a text layer and then duplicate and move it and then take text from PSD, want the option like I have in all the other apps, to be able to drop that new text content but take the text box settings in AE, NOT keep the settings from PSD. Thanks!

Please in next update include PASTE WITHOUT FORMATTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks for the idea. I've added it to our backlog for future consideration.

You can workaround this in 2 ways:
1- Use power tools from microsoft (if you use win). One of those tools allow you to paste unformatted text

2- paste the text in a browser search bar and then copy it again from there, it should be unformatted now (probably it works also in windows path bar and something similar)

I do want this ability, but I think the default should remain as-is where text formatting is preserved when copy/pasting between Adobe apps. I need to preserve designer's kerning/formatting, but still need live type for animation.

Instead, how about using the more standard Control+Shift+V to paste as plain text? (Option+Shift+Command+V on Mac I suppose). Would definately be a quality of life improvement and work as expected compared to other applications.

Yes there are plenty of workarounds...

[Todd_Morgan]

Any day now please... been asking for this for several years now.

Moved post from Discussions to Ideas forum.

[Todd_Morgan]

It should stay as a discussion as this has been requested for years now... so no longer an IDEA.

[David Arbor]

Sure, and I'd like this option too—so much so that I have two non-native workarounds to achieve it—but the Ideas forum are where feature requests go that can get upvoted for more visibility.

Whenever I have to do it I paste the text around marks in an expression in the Source Text property... but yes, I believe After Effects should have this option.
