Add customizable tokens/properties to Render Queue
It would be extremely helpful to be able to define our own render tokens somehow. We often have very long and complex filenames that string together common elements like "Project Code," "Client Name," "Project Name," "Deliverable Name," "First/Last Initials," "Version Number", "Language"
It would be helpful to be able to define these somewhere in the AE project, perhaps as metadata, and then allow them to be used as render tokens/properties that can be used in the existing File Name and Location Templates.
Sure, we can manually enter this information ourselves when we go to render. We could also rename our…

ALT+drag copy/duplicate
I would like to see ALT+Drag to copy/duplicate for layers in the timeline and assets in the project panel. Its a standard function for the rest of the adobe suite and for some reason its missing from AE. There's not even an alternate function, its just missing. I understand holding alt and dragging selected key frames in the timeline does temporal stretch. so I see why it might be harder to implement for key frames without upsetting current functions. But, this seems to be a missing feature that would be widely appreciated for those of us that use the wider…

Exporting pro res 4444 + alpha bug
Issue when exporting pro res 4444 with alpha directly from AE. When this file is taken into premiere, there are weird purple artefacts, this can be removed by changing the premultiply settings, but this looses some alpha and introduces black fringing. When the same comp is exported via media encoder, using the same settings, no such issue exists.
5 votesThank you for reporting this bug. Our team is investigating the cause of this problem.
This problem occurs when rendering from the After Effects render queue using premultiplied alpha. If you change the alpha mode to straight (in the Output Module Settings dialog, set the Color option to Straight (Unmatted)), the problem does not occur.

Ability to "reference", rather than just import, external AE projects
It would be fantastic to be able to reference other AE projects into the current project, so that if one of the comps in the referenced project changes it will update where it is referenced as well (not unlike when working with imported .psds or using dynamic link with premiere). This would be tremendously helpful in situations where multiple artists are sharing assets (especially for character animation/character rig/background art projects), as changes would propagate where needed rather than have to be recreated anywhere else that asset is used.

Please bring all OpenType features to After Effects
Typography is an important part of many animations. With the great amount of options designers have with OpenType-Fonts every aspect of a font should be accessible in a modern animation software.
Please add all OpenType-Options as seen in the Photoshop Character Panel to be natively accessible in After Effects.

Allow markers in AE-created .mogrt files to be seen in Premiere
.mogrts are a great way to create stylized transitions and such, but the inability to add markers that are viewable within Premiere creates inconvenience when actually putting these into use. Being able to send an AE timeline marker back into Premiere within the mogrt would be hugely helpful!

Magenta Color Shift when exporting ProRes4444 with AE2020 on Windows
In AE2020 Exporting a clip as ProRes4444 Millions of Colors on Windows results in an Output with a color shift towards Magenta. This can only be resolved by changing the codec to Trillions of colors.
Also when Using ProRes 4444 XQ with the same color settings the color shift gets an additions Gamma shift problem.
On AE 2019 this issue was not there. Also on Mac this issue can not be seen.
We tested it on multiple Windows machines and on all of them the problem appears with AE 2020 v.17.1.4
Please fix this problem

Add auto-incrementing number as render token
It would be helpful to add a token for a number that automatically increments if a file with the existing number already exists. This would be great for versioning renders automatically. For example: [compName]v[##].[fileExtension] would produce compNamev00.mov, and then a subsequent render of the same comp would produce compName_v01.mov

AERender in AE 2019 don't wait for job completion
Up until 2019, AERender, when executed with the -reuse option, waited for the job to complete before terminating.
On AERender 2019, AERender, when used with the -reuse option, open (or use the already opened) gui, set the job to work on the gui and terminate immediately.
This is problematic, because we relay on the -reuse option to complete jobs very quickly, while still checking to know when the job is complete.We are asking to return the AERender to behave like in previous versions - that it will terminate after the job is complete, even with the -reuse option.
thanks
2 votesThank you for filing this bug. We’re aware of an issue where, on Windows, the aerender process will crash at process start if the -reuse flag is used and the UI of After Effects is running. If the UI of After Effects is not running, the -reuse flag will cause the aerender process to crash after the render job is completed.
Our apologies for the disruption. We are investigating a fix for this bug for a future release.

Global Color creation in After effects
The ability create a global color and assign it to different items in your comp so you can make color revisions fast. On creation would automatically generate a chip in the color pallets, it would have a special marker to say it's live in the preview.

Export transparent animated GIFs from After Effects/AME
Currently, if I want to export a “sticker” (Animated GIF with transparency) for social media, I animate the GIF in After Effects, export a MOV with alpha, via the AE renderer, bring that MOV into Photoshop and export a GIF with transparency via the (legacy) web export. This is a lengthy, complicated process that creates a heavy and useless, for the end product, MOV file.
In my opinion there are multiple things wrong with this workflow and could be improved by allowing direct export of transparent GIFs from AE.
The Adobe export/render preference for most formats is via AME

Dynamic linking to another .aep project file
I'm part of a team that work on multiple infographic shots simultaneously and we would really like to be able to link to external after effects compositions that could contain components that are being reused on all shots.
In that way someone could setup and animate dummy components within one .aep file and then the rest of the team can link to those components compositions (as if it where footage) and start on each separate shot.
All the while the dummy components can be tweaked and finished and that would ripple out to all the other team members shots.This…

Expressions for properties that don't have a stopwatch
It would be necessary to make accessible to the expressions the properties which do not have a stopwatch.
for example:
the Fill & Stroke text layers property.
What is inconsistent in the interface is that these properties have the icon Property pick whip ! But it doesn't work.
But on the other hand we can use it in the Essential Graphics panel.Another thing about the Fill & Stroke property:
It's a property that has been forgotten in all the list of properties that we can now access by expressions to manage text styles.2 votes -
v17.5 Camera with orbit null works differently to v17,4
As I've showed in my desktop recording. The camera with orbit null works strangely in the v17.5 version. In the old version, if I parent the camera to a null, it will orbit oriented to the null. But in the new version, it somehow orbits orienting to somewhere else, even I chose the orient to POI tool. Also the moving is shifting when I zoom in the camera. It feels not right.
