Master properties source text bug inputing "ç" letter
I'm using the master property feature to create lower third comps. It is impossible to input in the word "Caçapava*". Anytime I type "ç" (cmd+C), the dialog box closes.
Please, check the video below

"Look At All Layers" can't be assigned to shortcut
For some reason you can't assign a shortcut to the "Look At All Layers" command in the "View" menu. Even though the Keyboard Shortcuts editor might have a shortcut saved and listed, it has no effect when pressing the shortcut later on.
I can see that AE also doesn't list the shortcut next to the command in the actual menu, so for some reason the connection must be broken.
This is a real nuisance, because this command is crucial for quickly navigating the 3D space such as in Blender or Cinema4D.
Apparently this is a well-known bug. Could this be…

Disabling Time Remapping should remove expressions applied to the property
If you have an expression applied to Time Remapping (eg. loopOut), and you disable Time Remapping, you can get an expression error which is unresolvable since the property no longer exists. If we're removing the property itself, it makes more sense to a user to also remove any expressions.

Fix expression editing within graph view
In both AE 17.0.0 and 17.0.2, I did not test it in 17.0.1. Using Win10 with a Ryzen 3700x and a GTX 1060 6gb
When editing or writing expressions while in the graph view mode, it is hit or miss whether or not the new code will be commited.
It was suggested by another user to use the 'enter' key on the numpad to commit changes, but this didn't work every time either, so it doesn't solve the problem.
When editing expressions in the normal layer view everything works and saves/updates as it should. You just type out the code…
12 votesHi all,
Thank you for reporting this issue. As of After Effects 17.7, this issue has been fixed. Please let us know if you continue to see any similar problems when using the expression field in the Graph Editor.
Thanks again,

fix the timeline markers on OSX. they broke in cc 2021
the timeline markers broke. I cannot place with CMD + 1, 2 ,3 and I cannot recall timeline markers with keys 1,2,3 anymore. I cannot bind new hotkeys to these either. please fix asap.
1 voteHi David! This is not a bug. There’s a new option to have these keyboard shortcuts control the 3D cameras instead. You can disable that functionality and get your timeline marker shortcuts back by going to Preferences → 3D and unchecking the box.

AE 2020 fixed ram preview for me... YAY! However, Numberpad "." no longer previews just the audio
AE 2020 fixed ram preview for me... YAY! However, Numberpad "." no longer previews just the audio. If I hit the "." key, the play-head moves across the timeline, but there's no audio... and I don't see anything in the audio levels display either. If, however, if I enable video preview in the Numberpad "." preview, I get audio... AND video—which obviously defeats the purpose of an audio-only preview.

Bug: AE and AME Tool Panel UI color after update 17.5 (Win10)
After updating AE (and AME) to 17.5 (on 10/20) for Windows 10, the tab area on the Tools panel is white at startup. References attached.
Turning the Tools panel on/off (Ctrl+1) or un-docking and re-docking the Tools panel will revert the tab area back to the intended color.
On the subject of bright white UI elements, bright white is extremely abrasive and distracting, especially for users working in AE day-to-day for 8+ hrs.
Please, please, adjust the AE UI on Windows 10 so that the Menu for AE, AME, and PR respect Darker brightness settings for appearance, or, adopt the…

scroll through fonts with arrows (v17.0)
In version 17.0 it seems like the ability to preview fonts with the arrows keys is, once again, broken. It's crazy how much this slows down a workflow. Can we get this fixed please?

Bug - Roughen Edges doesn't work the same in 2020 as it does in previous versions
In AE CC 2020, the Roughen Edges effect still shows the original edges of shapes and vectors. It also produces oddly colored edges.
This wasn't the case before this version. It used to produce nice rough edges.

Bug with .setPropertyParameters() for Dropdown Control
This method seems to generate a "Duplicate item names are not allowed" error when using an array where an index is a substring of another index. This example specifically triggers it: ["HeadTop", "Head", "HeadBottom"]; will not be accepted by the method (the "Head" index seems to throw it off) - But: ["HeadTop", "HeadMiddle", "HeadBottom"] will be accepted.

[BUG] Master Properties can't be changed with expression
I put this simple expression on a master property that cycles through some items. It shows 1, 2, 3, 1, 2, 3, etc. on the control, but it only shows the item #1.
timeToFrames(time/50) % 3 + 1;
This wasn't working on another master property, but it started to at some point on it's own. I've tried purging, recreating the property. About the only thing I haven't tried so far but sometimes works is recreating it all in a new comp.

String memory leak
Error 83::2 - String Memory Leak
I get this error message every time I log out of AE 2019 whilst using one particular project that involves a lot of imports. Will not open the files again later. I can work around it by importing the file into a new project, but once I save the NEW project, under a different name and go to quit the program, I get the same error message and rinse and repeat. I don't know which, if any, files are corrupt and the program otherwise acts normally until I try and close out the program.It…47 votesThis is fixed in After Effects 17.0.1, released last night.

Bug - Opening projects that use 2020 drop-down menu expression controls (Pseudo dialog on startup)
I love the new drop down expression control effect in AE2020. Unfortunately though I have a bug on opening the project file. I get a dialog box similar to the attached screen grab for each instance I've used the drop-down menu as a master property. The code in the dialog changes for each instance.
For context, my project file features one precomp with a number of properties controlled by 3x dropdown menus on a control layer for colour, text option and positioning. That precomp is used in 5 other compositions, where using Master Properties I have used different drop down…
