This is something that has bugged me for years.  I open a project, render.  Hop into a different project. Add to Render Queue.  Now all of my settings are pointing to the other projects render paths... 

I work for an advertising agency and I am constantly rendering work for multiple clients. When going back and forth the only way to retain output paths is to duplicate the item in the render queue.  Why?  Each composition should have the option within the -- Composition Settings -- to set a render path.  When you duplicate the comp, the render path stays.  This seems like a simple concept but I am sure is more complicated on the back end. 

I want to be able to add a render path to the comp, within comp settings.  This way when I send to render queue I know it is going to the right place without having to constantly click on modules, outputs, and so on.  This would save so much time!!  When duplicating the comp to version up...the path stays with the new comp name allowing for fast and convenient incrementing.

Anyways, thanks for reading!

I'm often using scaled down proxy footage for multiple compositions on big projects to speed up workflows. For final quality renders, I am currently limited to either using AE's render queue using the "Best Settings" render setting which locks me from doing more work in AE, or manually turning off all my proxy links before sending my comp to the AME queue.

I understand the dynamic link protocol has limitations which is why I suggest adding a dialog box or a preference option where AE users can choose the render settings that get translated to AME, allowing options other than "Current Settings"

Why would you get rid of the ability to use and encode to DXV and Hap Codecs, seriously why?? Both these codecs are so widely used with Media Servers for Live events, Concerts, Touring, Multimedia performances and Installations. As they are very efficient for playback systems. I’ve been an Adobe user for over 20 years, after effects, premier and photoshop have been important tools in my work flow. But I’m seriously looking into alternatives, because of the lack of support for these codecs. The live event world has very demanding deadlines and by no longer supporting theses codecs my turn around time for show ready renders has doubled. I’m not asking for a new feature, I’m begging for the return of a previous supported feature that to my knowledge had no issues! So I again ask why, seriously?

Adobe Illustrator has a very useful feature in that you can perform a Select Same function that targets specific properties. For example, Select Same Stroke Color select all objects that have the same stroke color. Select Same Fill selects all objects with the same fill, etc.

It would be really useful to have something similar to this inside of After Effects. It is common to have to modify colors as a project progresses, and After Effects doesn't make it very easy to either access or change colors of Shape Layer properties without resorting to 3rd party tools like BQ Shape Layer Navigator or Ray Dynamic Color.

BUG: Installed fonts conflict with typekit fonts

Issue --
• Proxima nova family fonts installed (sans Medium)
• Typekit fonts installed creates conflict where only limited weights are available from the family list. Typekit overwrites installed fonts on list and matching installed/typekit names appear to disappear altogether.

For us -- many of our clients use Motion for FCPX to edit and Motion does not see typekit fonts at all, so hardcopies must be installed on all edit machines but then in doing so -- AE has conflict with generation of the available typeface list.

I described the incident in more detail to Victoria Nece on the Motion Design Slack and she recommended me to add a comment here to alert the appropriate teams.

This appears to have started with CC19 because we haven't experienced the issue prior to this release.
