Hopeful there will be a way to create a font list of fonts with, say ... more than 3 weights. In this say and age, more often than not, users want a typeface with multiple font weights. Being able to create a font list of such typefaces will be a great boost for productivity, design and world peace. In AE, lots of users could use with a lot more options in the area of Decorative/Symbol fonts. Unfortunately, the number and quality of such typefaces at Adobe Font is largely of poor quality and damning in quantity. It's quite shocking actually.

This was so helpful thank you! I am using alot of the roughen edges effect in this project and to help things run faster I wanted to have a checkbox that I could toggle the effect on and off across the whole project. I didn't know about this opacity option which has made it possible, so thanks!

I've also had this issue with one of my MOGRTs and tried to track down the culprit to no avail. Deleting and recreating protected regions didn't do the trick, nor did stripping down the content layer by layer or even deleting everything and building something from the scratch inside that composition. So it seems to me as if — for whatever reason — the composition itself was kind of corrupted, as I was able to copy all layers to a new composition (hence unfortunately having to rebuild all Essential Graphics controls) and when exporting this as a MOGRT, the protected regions finally work.

Color Swatches are flat but the love for gradients is not going to stop. So, I'm looking at a way to display a Gradient within a Color Swatch. Should be useful for Gradient Fill and Gradient Stroke in Shape Layers. And as an aside, who decided to name Timeline Markers, Composition Markers??? 😄 Having Composition Markers is actually a good way for leaving/exchanging notes directly in a Composition; where a Marker Comment may have more contextual relevance than a Timeline Marker.

Hi Simon, I've been keeping an eye on the Properties Panel and since the poor performance issue I reported, it's been good. I'm almost certain it's due to me working with bad code on a script I'm developing - I was implementing an Undo+Redo feature and there was a loop that kept going back ... and ... back. Now, all is good for performance and the Properties Panel but I'm still 'meh?!' with the Properties Panel appearing on its own. Thanks for checking in - very much appreciated. Cheers!

I'm having this issue consistently in After Effects. I'm using Adobe Fonts and it's not happening on special glyphs. I'm running into that issue right now with a capital "M" in a font I added from Adobe. It seems unlikely that a font would not support a capital "M"? Anyone else have any insight on this?

When receiving AEPs, it's not uncommon to have to perform lots of clicks to find the right Comp. So, I'm looking at a new Column in the Project Panel to lock Project Items - this will make it easier to safeguard assets/comps while also serving to let others know which are do-not-touch areas in an AEP.

Rive's tech is unique and designed for runtime performance due to their market space requirements. For AE, just the design aspects will be great - performance should of couse be reasonable but it's important for uses to get to the tools to create wonderful designs in a reasonable amount of time.

In my case, After effects was looking for a broken path in the render queue and it completely killed the saving time. Thank you for this!

After some tests, it looks like a clamp method I've applied to my Text Layer's position property is causing the issue. When I disable the Position Expression, I get expected results. Still not a good thing that something happening in Layer>Transform>Position can affect the result.

I reset my password just to answer you (even tho you propably dont need it anymore). After a lot of trial and error, this was my solution i put as an expression on the "anchor"-property: x = content("Rechteck 1").content("Rechteckpfad: 1").position[0];
y = content("Rechteck 1").content("Rechteckpfad: 1").position[1];
x += .5*content("Rechteck 1").content("Rechteckpfad: 1").size[0] *-1;
y += .5*content("Rechteck 1").content("Rechteckpfad: 1").size[1] *-1;
[x,y] the "*-1" i put at the end was to make it start from the top left corner, otherwise it was the bottom right. The other corners i didnt try – but maybe this will help someone.

When leaving AE idle; going to another App or for a break, the AutoSave timer continues. Then, you get back to AE, you have to wait for an Auto-Save to happen. This is irritating, especially on large projects. Perhaps a quick fix might include - Perform AutoSave Even When Idle option in Prefs Stop hogging AE when I return from my break!

So, deploying character ranges for the new text styling feature is a PITA. So, I'm thinking we have the wrong tool(s) for character ranges. So, howzabout we have a new type of slider that has TWO controls instead of the regular single control. The Left Control defines the start range and the Right Control, the length of the range. And via scripting/Expression control, we simply add arguments to get at each of these controls. And we'll call this 2-Control Slider, S2lider. 😄 My thoughts are with S2lider, it'll be much easier for average and even experienced users to start enjoying using the very cool text styling feature and hopeful/wishful that it'll be more performant than the verbose lines of code that's currently required to achieve identical results. So, we'll have a specific S2lider for Characters, another for Words and another for Lines and one more for Paragraph. and it's essentually the same slider but with functionality Based On a DropMenu to select the Selection Mode which also gets applied when the user applies this option via the Expression Controls Menu.

Oh man, I thout I am the only one. I did two scripts for AEscripts and both were rejected. First time they said "it's more like template than a script" and second time they said "it looks like another script there", but in reality mine has onle 25% of similarity while having 75% unique. But they rejected it. Just like you. Really disapointed and now I don't know where else can I put my newcoming superscript to sell...

Another option which may be a lot easier - Have a Trim Path that works within the Stroke Shape operator; much like Dashes, Taper and Wave are part of the Stroke Operator.
