Bug: aerender command line rendering broken in 17.5
After updating AE to 17.5 aerender stopped working with the error:
"aerender ERROR: After Effects can not render for aerender. Another instance of aerender, or another script, may be running; or, AE may be waiting for response from a modal dialog, or for a render to complete. Try running aerender without the -reuse flag to invoke a separate instance of After Effects"
Re-installing the previous version makes it work again. Please Adobe, I am not asking a lot here. But especially after outlawing older versions, please at least stop breaking things with updates. That would be just great.Thanks.
1 voteThis bug has been fixed in the November 2020 update for After Effects, version 17.5.1. You can install the update via the Creative Cloud desktop app.

Change the camera rotation tools back!
What happened to the orbit camera option? You used to have a tool that did all three camera movements with all three buttons on the mouse and now they are 3 separate tools?! Why fix something that isn't broken? That was a marvelous tool that's been in after effects forever and worked just fine?! Please change it back in the next update! Thanks
1 voteThe universal camera tool has moved to a keyboard shortcut for faster access. Hold alt/option and use your mouse buttons to navigate (left = orbit, middle = pan, right = dolly, same as before). This means you can now access the camera navigation anytime, without having to switch tools.

Rotation tool seems broken
With the latest version (17.1.3) the rotation tool freaks out when using it for the layer transform rotation. Somehow it does work fine for parametic shapes. Just by dragging a little bit, it rotates like 2000 times.

AE 2020 - double click on footage opens a blank screen; no roto brush; just a small black frame in the upper corner. Huge issue.
It's a bug, not a feature request - double clicking on footage in a comp opens to a blank white screen with a small black rectangle border in the top left corner, no footage. OSX 10.14.6, Mac Pro 2013, 64GB RAM

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?
11 votesThis is fixed in our 17.0.1 update, available now.

[BUG] When a new keyboard shortcut file is generated, i and o for layer in and out points don't work
When a fresh shortcut text file is made in CC2020, then going to in and out points doesn't work when pressing i and o. Tested by using a previous custom shortcut text file which works fine. Then removed to generate a new fresh one and the buttons don't work

Go to layer in-point and out-point (shortcuts I and O on layers panel) on AE 2020 not working.
Updated to Ae CC 2020 and going to the beginning or end of a layer isn't possible because the shortcuts (keys I or O) are not working.

sampleImage script command
This is both a ExtendScript bug report and a feature request.
Bug first. This "hack" worked in earlier versions of AE:
var sliderControl = layer("ADBE Effect Parade").addProperty("ADBE Slider Control");
sliderControl.name = "temppscontrol";
sliderControl(1).expression = "thisLayer.sampleImage([300,50], [1,1])[3];";
var alpha = sliderControl(1).value;
alert(alpha)It would get the sampled alpha from an AVLayer. It doesn't return the correct value any more, because the script moves on before the sampleImage expression has run.
Feature request: It would be nice if sampleImage was simply included in ExtendScript.
3 votesThis bug was fixed in the April 2019 release of After Effects (version 16.1). You can install this release via the Creative Cloud desktop application.
