Strokes in shape layers should have a customisable end cap, rather than the three simple options currently available.
Strokes in shape layers currently offer three options for the end cap. It would be great if the end cap were customisable, either via beziers or with an importable artwork. This would make stroke animation much more powerful and useful.

Use Character Animators detailed facial tracking
I do a lot of detailed facial tracking for my content. It would literally save me days of work if AE was able to track face points as quickly as CH does.

Text Wrap feature similar to Illustrator
Text Wrap feature in Illustrator will dynamically wrap text around a mask you draw maybe around a feature or object. In After Effects we are stuck with point text or paragraph text, paragraph being a strict rectangle. Being able to break that barrier dynamically would be super helpful

Convert text to paths
It would be great if there was a function to convert a text into paths (just like in Illustrator), so I can create a graffiti painting animation for example. I know that I could trace the text by path, but it would be fine, or rather it would save a lot of time.

2D Camera and 3D Camera
Can we Get a 2D Camera in After Effects for non 3d layers? idk if this makes sense. but it would be awesome. for like Zooming in, and out and rotating around in 2D. Thankyou!!!

Snapping keyframes to time indicator with 'shift'
This is a functionality I had for years, but doesn't work anymore.Is there a new preference I can't seem to find for this?
I have snapping enabled in the top toolbar.

keyframe interpolation bug in Time remapping
Time remapping, with just two keyframes over long durations, introduces stutters of incorrect frames. It's not stepping. It's jumping to anther frame for a single frame, and jumping back.
adding a keyframe Near the glitched frame, fixes this.
It's a critical bug. needs to be fixed.

loop mask keyframes
It would be great if mask keyframes were loopable using the loopOut (or In) expression.

Add Separate Dimensions button in graph editor for sub layers' position animation in a shape layer (eg. text converted to shape layer)
It would be great if the separate dimensions button wasn't grayed out for separate positions of sub layers, would make a lot of sense

A keyframe that inherits its value from the previous keyframe
Imagine a scenario with 3 keyframes where an object holds position for a second (1-2) then moves to a new position (2-3). To adjust the object hold position, you must edit keyframes 1 and 2. If you forget to update keyframe 2 you no longer have a hold. With this type of inheritance keyframe, you'd only have to worry about adjust keyframe 1, and keyframe 2 would automatically follow along.

"Smart Baking" of expressions/keyframes
It would be wonderful to have "smart bake"-type options (a la Maya) in converting expressions to keyframes, where instead of creating a keyframe for every frame, it only bakes the expressions to existing keyframes (i.e. a "wiggled" property would only bake in the wiggled values on frames where keyframes currently exist). Further options would be welcome, as well, such as the ability to create new/baked keyframes every x frames (for example, if the expression to be baked is posterize time, set at 6 fps, you could convert the expression to keyframes, but only create a new keyframe every 6 frames…

Convert text layers to masks should honour right to left text
After Effects has the built-in feature to convert text layers into masks, and shape layers. Currently, the conversion always takes place on a left to right basis. However now that After Effects supports right to left text, and paragraphs can be created with R-T-L text, the conversion process should honour this setting and create the masks in reverse order. (NOTE that this is not as simple as reversing the mask order, as a single character may be comprised of several masks with various mask modes. The characters need to be created in right-to-left order.)

Quickly zoom/jump to active keyframes in the graph editor
In the graph editor you have the very useful 'auto-zoom graph height' button. It re-centers your graph view to your selected keyframes. I just wish I could assign a keyboard shortcut to it as I find myself doing it all the time.
In C4D you can just press the H button to do this and it's so useful!

Give us the ability to export .mogrt files for older versions of Premiere.
It would be great to be able to create motion graphics files for older versions of Premiere.

Improved auto-tangents in curve editor
It's time to AE have a better curve editor with an option to auto-clamp and avoid unwanted overshooting and other weirdness.
Example attached.
Blender, for example, is an open source software that has a very clever way to manage tangents automatically.
And the source code for that is... well, OPEN. I know it's not as easy as I think, but having a working code available around at least reduces the "figuring it out" work... it's a starting point.

New font format with motion design/animation data
What if each font had an extra invisible center spline and creation point order? This helps anyone who has to do "write on" text (not just "type on" text appearing) in after effects, premier, photoshop etc.
I cant tell you how many requests or job tasks are "animate this text", and I always start with a plan old font that needs lots of hand drawn work for masks on each character to animate. If a font format actually had deep information to make text animation less laborious, ESPECIALLY write on effects, it would be a huge time saver to the…1 vote -
Option to quantize keyframes when time stretching with Alt key
Time stretching with the Alt/Opt key is a great way to quickly adjust the length of an animation, but it almost always leads to subframe positioning of keyframes. There are plenty of scripts out there to fix the results of this problem (I use KEYboard), but it would be great if we could avoid this problem all together by holding the Shift key after we start Alt+Dragging. Shift would be in line with the existing behavior of snapping keys to other keys, layer in/out points, and marke

Dedicated shape selector tool
Dedicated shape selector tool. Make groups and paths within a shape layer more easily accessible and manipulable. No more double clicking down and having to find the properties for each group. How about some modifiers for shortcuts to get to shape layer group properties. Plus and minus sign up for depth... ?

Auto Masker Using Find Edges, or More Stroke Capabilities.
I think it'd be Super Helpful if you Could Use Find Edges, to create Masks. idk if this makes sense though.
