master properties don't update sometimes
Sometimes, masterproperties won't update until purging the cache. This is very confusing! I'm used to those kind of problems just from plug-ins and not from native effects/features.

Improve the software
I think since audio is a very important feature when it comes working with video, the timeline panel could be improved and make the workflow easier and faster if it could look like a music software arrangement view with bpm and easy to snap to the grid. The ability to create folder or groups in the timeline. Also I love the new render engine in Blender called Eevee that can give a realtime preview instead After Effects is very very slow. Implement midi or Osc for easy map parameters, that would be ideal and awesome. Regards

sourceRectAtTime() not consistent
When animating a TextAnimator/Scale Start% with keyframes, sourceRectAtTime() perfectly follows the bounding box. But when the Start% is generated by an expression, sourceRectAtTime does not follow along.

video length and playback issue
Hi, I have a 3 minute video added in my timeline. If I play to the end, it doesnt show the last 5 seconds when played back, I cannot extend the clip any longer. When I export it, it plays the last 5 seconds. Please fix because I cant crop the last 5 seconds off as I wish.

Support OpenType-SVG fonts
OpenType-SVG fonts are already supported in Photoshop, Illustrator & InDesign and it would be great to have them in After Effects as well!

Bug: if one scale dimension is negative, scaling that layer proportionally breaks your custom scale
Steps to reproduce:
1. Create a layer, of any kind (shape, solid, etc).
2. Twirl down to the layer's main Scale property, and toggle off Constrain Proportions (the chain-link icon).
3. Using the blue property text fields, type in a negative value for one of the scale dimensions (e.g., set X to -100%).
4. In the Composition panel / viewport, using the selection tool, hold Shift and drag the scale corners of your layer. Depending on the layer type, this will either make both scale dimensions negative, or make them both positive. This shouldn't happen. One scale dimension should stay…2 votes -

"Standard 3D module is missing" during startup
In trying to start AE v 16.1.1, I get "Standard 3D module is missing" during the splash screen.
I found this... https://forums.adobe.com/message/6966935
However, the Creative Cloud Cleaner Tool does not work. When I uninstall AE 16.1.1, it is then not found with the cleaner tool.

Use shapes or masks for text box
A way to customize the shape of paragraph text, similar to how you can have text fill a shape in other Adobe programs such as Photoshop, Illustrator, and Indesign.
This would be an improvement over exporting from one of those programs into AE because you could then edit and/or animate the text easily.33 votes -
Fix the 'save current preview...' option under Composition. Now it is always greyed out.
Saving previews is very useful for the first stages in a project. Somehow I cannot access the feature 'save current preview' under Composition: it's always greyed out.

It´s 2018!!! - So we need a real 3D Engine/Workflow inside of After Effects!
8 years ago i asked here for a real 3D engine inside of After Effects to not loose ground against other compositing tools - my advice was to invest in Cinema4D. And yes, you did something like that but you made only a link between that tools - but that is by far not enough!!!
In 2018 even 399€ gimmick tools like "Hitfilm Express" have more advanced 3D engines than After Effects and therefor no one use After Effects in the movie-business anymore.
Its realy a shame that even beginners and hobbiest can´t do there simple 3D comps without an…

Replace fast blur with lens blur on demand
Camera lens blur is so demanding that I end up using other, worse looking blur effect. I would love the option to use a certain blur effect across the project (such as fast box blur) as some kind of a proxy, and replace it with camera lens blur before rendering, while maintaining all keyframes and settings
