The rotobrush tool doesn't work correctly. I can't drag the pencil to make a successful selection.

Used Fuse and Photoshop to create 3D characters but it would be phenomenal if these characters could be imported into After Effects and where the AE lights, cameras, and the C4D renderer could be used to composite a scene. Please consider integrating Fuse and After Effects.

Set Matte ignores if the layer had been transformed in some way when it is used as a track matte for ex, it treats its transformrs as well, but any matte options in any effect would ignore original transformations if there is any...

Displacement map lacks of radial distortion option

so many times I'd needed to link hue to angle controller, but have to use other effects as workaround

rotobrush is pretty slow on rendering, so I'd suggest to help it by building its shapes not from one frame, but creating like custom checkpoints defined buy user where he thinks the movement changes dramatically and he inavitably would draw some more brushes from there, so and meanwhile rotobush would merge its calculations inbetween those checkpoints...

so that if you change any of them - others will follow. Not like when linking them - that they have a mother effect

including inputting a texture, if needed!
including Adobe Sensei to match to the background!

So you don't have to recreate it each time buy duplicating and connecting controls, should be easy to machine learn it - on how people tend to use such effects and implement clever controls (look at how plugin Saber from video copilot deals with glow - that's terrific!)

so that you could use exact color matching that premiere's panel did in After effects

It would be very helpful for a lot of generative effects to create warping fields that are less rigid than mesh or bezier warp. Something like in step one of this project.

I have 180° fisheye footage that I want to convert to Equirectangular. There is no 1:1 option, so I have to choose 2:1, then precompose and crop my comp to square.

Most of the acquired effects from Mettle expect you to be working in a 360° workflow, and it's not ideal for someone who works primarily in 180°

After Effects could have more and better effects and tools for VFX workflow.

Needles to say more: Please allow separation of the RGB channels in plugins like "Optics Compensation" or "Radial Blur" to make easy chromatic aberration effect possible.

I really wish to have a fast and native light wrap plugin in After Effects. This tool is essential in compositing.

Particle Playground to GPU and 32bps

Calculations is the merge tool in Ae why is it still not the most overused tool!?

When I create a mask in After Effects the mask's mode is automatically set to "add". I generally want my masks set to "none" while I am working as I am doing rotoscoping. It would be great if I could choose what the default mode is for newly created masks.

Some effects, like Levels and Curves, allow one to isolate the effect to a single RGBA channel. Make this option available to all effects.
