The actual particle system in AE is out of the early 2000s.
So please develop a new 3D particle system with a simple node based UI and interesting operators like physics, turbulence, motion fields etc.

It should be something like Trapcode Particular but with a simple node interface like Tyflow.

Dragging a specific puppet pin (ex puppet pin 3) to a different position in the FX area will cause AE to stop creating cache. For instance putting 4 between puppet pin 2 and puppet pin 3. Re-ordering it correctly fixes the issue.

This little problem leaves us with no possibility to add controllers to the layers for which the collapse transformations flag is on. Even though the controller effects do not affect the image directly now they somehow manage to break functionality. Although I understand the internal logic behind it, it steals some precious possibilities from us. Please add a workaround for this

The wire removal tool currently roams when opened on different workstations within the same version of AE. The end points can be off by 20 or 30 pixels and seem to have no apparent cause for the position change. Nor is the offset consistent.

camera tracking keep randomly saying unable acquire rendered frame.
This never happened before until I updated to Adobe cc 2019
Please fix

Curves and levels allows you to adjust RGB channels, which can be destructive to colors if you just want to adjust the lightness

Allow user to change the curves/levels mode to Lab color mode and offer those channels as an alternative to RGB

hello everyone,

it would be great feature, if Adobe XD files open in AE for animation, and the last update in AE, we were just able to import AI and PSD files, So if you people update the Aftereffects with above feature that will be great for everyone.

I''ll often add the CC Vignette effect to an imported .AI layer to help it blend into the scene. It's very helpful in not adding additional clutter to compositions, but it increasingly makes scenes go crazy. Different zoom levels will exacerbate the bug, and saving and reopening with the effect applied seems to make it worse.

Some of the symptoms include weird screen tearing, little dots all over the comp, and the layer will "flicker" on and off as well as affecting the alpha channels on other layers.

I've attached a quick sample. This mostly shows everything but the tearing.

The current (and past) Stylize/Glow effect shows some unlogical behavior:

1 It lets glow dark colors (under the treshold) too.
Even when the Glow Operation is set to 'Add' and Glow Is Based on Color Channels (Default), a dark shadow like halo appears around the borders of a layer.

2 Another strange thing: When Glow Intensity is set to 0 (zero), the black glow still appears.

You could update all the effects to make a precise compatibility between them and 32 bpc footage and compositions.

Option to preserve the underlying transparency of the layer immediately below. Currently the switch uses all of the combined alpha below.

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

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.

VR comp editor on Windows does not work in terms of Apply AE 3D CameraTracker. Please fix this.

The Lightning in After Effects is Fantastic, Curious if in the Future After Effects Could Create a 3d Lightning Function According to the Camera and its Position.

Nice to have!
