"Select Equal Keyframes" needs to be hotkeyable
This goes for "Select Previous Keyframes" and "Select Following Keyframes".
There should also be an option for selection the SINGLE previous and following keyframe.
I have many other ideas for making AE more efficient to work with, Adobe. You should hire me as a tester.

Addition of Evolution/Phase to Zig Zag shape layer operand
Addition of Evolution/Phase to Zig Zag shape layer operand. If the Zig Zag operand can create a variable number of ridges per segment of a shape, why can't the phase/evolution/offset of the ridge's starting point be adjustable?

Would love to be able to freeze transformations when copying and pasting a shape.
If a shape has undergone a bunch of transformations at different levels (shape, group, layer) it would be nice to be able to copy and paste the shape into a new layer so that it looks exactly the same as the transformed shape, but all values are now set to zero, as if it started that way. I think Maya allows you to do this.

Please create a shortcut for selected key shift to place on current time indicator
Option+Right/Left arrow and Option+Shift+Right/Left arrow takes lots of time to shift selected keys

Warp Tool for Shape Layers / Masks / Paths
A Warp Tool like the one in Adobe Illustrator would be a gigantic help and a powerful tool when working with Shape Layers, Masks or Paths.
It would work like the way Warp Tool in AI does when both "Detail" and "Simplify" are turned OFF in the brush settings; ie. not adding or removing vertices (so that inbetweening of keyframes would not be broken).

Bug on boot
After Effects is slowly becoming a nightmare to use. I now have to reinstall it after every restart on my Mac as all the plugins become unresponsive. I've tried cleaning Adobe completely but it does the same thing every time I restart.

Graph Editor: Show tool tip for Speed and Influence on mouse-hover over curve handles
TL;DR
Make the box that shows Speed and Influence in the graph editor show up when I hover my mouse over a keyframe handle, not just when I click and drag it.When doing custom curves for keyframes in the graph editor, I will manipulate the handles on a keyframe to set the Influence factor I want. When going back to tweak a handle, it would be nice to be able to see what setting it is currently sitting at without having to either move the handle to check, then undoing the change; or right-clicking the keyframe and selecting Keyframe…

Slider commas and decimal places option
I know you can use an expression but it would be nice to have more options in the slider for commas, decimal points, min to max and even a unit before or after the number.. (for us editors who don’t use AE that much!).. how about it?

Revamp the graph editor, make it like cinema 4d.
Revamp the graph editor, it's been dated for over a decade.
It's limited and a pain to work in.Give it the features, speed and flexibility like the graph editor in cinema4d.

Roving bug
Create 4 key position images
Activate Rove Across Time for the second one
Move the last two keys into the Graph EditorBUG !
The second key multiplies with each move2 votesThank you for filing this bug.
I was able to reproduce this behavior and have sent this bug to our developers to evaluate.
Note that this problem only occurs when:
- You drag via the selection box in the Graph Editor view
- One of the keyframes is adjacent to a roving keyframe.
The problem can be avoided by clicking and dragging on one of the keyframes instead of within the selection box.

In the Graph Editor, add a handle between two eased keys to increase/decrease the easing
Hi,
I think it could be a time killer to add a new handle between two eased keys in the Graph editor. It would allow us to pull/push the influence handles of the two keys (between the two keys - influence out key 1 and influence in key 2) in a homogeneous way. About the same use of the rounded corner tool in Illustrator...
It's needs time to copy/paste value from influence handles, and the possibility to edit it visually would be awesome.
I put an exemple of how it could be.
Thanks

Give option to make Continuous Locking (Ongoing to Incoming) by default when keyframes are eased
It could be great to add a button in the preferences panel for example to allow us to set eased keyframes on "Continuous (Lock Ongoing to Incoming)". Depends of project type but in animation, it's like mandatory to put this setting on if you want a smooth speed changes.
To smooth the speed changes we need to move up and down keys and to stretch ankles, but by default ongoing and incoming points are not linked, and when you got hundreds or thousands of keys in you project, you can imagine the time lost in this “double click keyframe and…2 votes -
Make animation presets compatible with Essential Properties
It would be amazing to be able to save and apply animation presets to Essential Properties. This would be a game changer for character animation. We could save frequently used poses or short animations as presets and apply them quickly.

Bring back the .flv codec
The old .flv codec that was discontinued years ago is truly a revolutionary codec that can make a standard alpha animation that would normally range anywhere from 200MB to several gigs into less than 10mb. There is still television software like JVC that uses that old format. I understand that flash had security issues and other problems, but as for the codec, it was the only alpha channel codec that made picture perfect animations even smaller in size than most non-alpha codecs. There is no danger for hacking a movie file. For this reason, for internal performance of your own…

ALT+CTRL drag on selected keyframes re-times from centre of key's
The option to Alt+Ctrl drag keyframes and have them retime from the centre rather than the start or end.
Often, you have an animation happening at a certain time, maybe text in and text out. And it would be MUCH more convenient to retime keyframes from the centre, not the start or end.
Having a modifier for this, so ALT does normal behaviour, ALT + CTRL re-times keyframes from the centre - almost like it does when holding CTRL while scaling a mask or path selection.1 vote -
Element 3D Important controls required.
Aux channels shud have additional controls. Color Tint, Individual scale x,y,z. Primitive objects slicer to animate birth.Refer attachment. A rig system for each channel, just to connect all properties to a selected AE 3D layer pos, rotation, scale, opacity, color tint(fill)

Shader Toy and Timeline implementation in Element 3D possible
I would like to see Shader Toy a well known WebGL shader sharing inside element 3D, I have seen pixels world plugin which does the same.
Also i would want Timeline and keyframing inside element 3D UI for all objects.Just like small 3D software like c4d.

Use a Shape Path as input for Position of a Layer
I would like to use a Path (Created Shape from Ai object) as input for the Position of a Layer by referring to it, not pasting it as keyframes
