Allow the setting of label colour when you create a new comp (or precomp), rather than having it just adopt the label colour of the parent.

The only solution I've found was to double click the custom workspace name on the top right. Still, it relaunches

32-bit Open-EXR is now supported. The ability to render a HALF float from AE will improve workflow with smaller files and data rates when 32-bits is not necessary.

Would it be possible to import camera raw sequences that you could animate the processing values over time? For example, bring in a raw sequence of 100 frames and keyframe the exposure value to change from 0 to -2 over the span of the sequence. I know it's not memory friendly, but would be useful for timelapsers.

Sometimes, we only need guide layers when working in the comp, but not when previewing.
A "hide guide layers" option in the preview panel would be very useful.

Also, an option to always hide guide layers from video feedback with mercury transmit would be logical, as what I want to see on the video control is the final image.

With an animation workflow using controllers which are guide layers, those two options would enable to check the animation without seeing the controllers, but having them to manipulate stuff when actually animating

so like the compositing option under each effect where you can duplicate and create mask input as many as needed, why won't there be a transform for each effect and why won't add duplicatable transform to be available.
Because so many times you just need another transform offset for a particular effect, or particular mask or particular shape and you have to workaround it like adding transform FX or offset effects, or duplicating and cutting out and adding back in the second layer...

feather must beanimatable over time as well as main mask math
as well as mask mast have it's own position controls for offset rotation skew etc to be able to link it to nulls and meanwhile make adjustments to the mask path!

too often you need to create layers under not above the current( like textures of fractal, shades etc. would be cool to revisit current shortcuts for creating all those different pieces and unite them to a one solution and to have an alt key for creating them under

Adding support for 3dconnexion 3d mice would allow greater flexibility when working in 3d space. It would also make the job a lot easier for some of us.

Thanks!

Operating System: macOS High Sierra 10.13.4
After Effects Version: 15.1.1

Hello. My auto-save functionality is no longer working. I've tried a number of things:

• Resetting program preferences
• Uninstalling/reinstalling After Effects
• Zapping P-Ram
• Changing location of auto-save folder in preferences to different drives
• Changing interval period for auto-saves anywhere from 5 mins to an hour
• Repairing drive permissions

None of the above has remedied the issue.

Is this a known issue? If so, is there a recommended course of action?

Thanks!

When I duplicate a Comp, the duplicated comp uses the same internal comps as the original.

This is correct, but it would be nice to have an option that also duplicates internal comps.

That way I’m not going to affect a comp that have duplicated.

In 32bpc mode, if footages had got HDR(1.0+ or 0.0-) pixels, screen layer mode doesn't work properly.

I have Mac OSX 10.13.4 and after effects will not open the project in 15.1. I have to revert back to 15.0.1

Please add some more in-depth controls for rendering image sequences. These are the options I would love to see in the output module (I know some of them exist already):
1. start frame (timeline)
2. end frame (timeline)
3. increment (timeline)
4. start frame (output file)
5. increment (output file)
6. skip existing frames
This would give you so much more flexibility than currently. Maya does this very well.

Please change order of the "Reset to Saved Layout", "Save Changes to this workspace" and "Save as new workspace"

or

Add an "Are you sure you want to change the workspace? Yes - No"

I click 4 to 5 times a week the wrong button (save changes) and save my workspace with wrong positions and windows.

Very very very frustrating.

Thank you.

You could accelerate by GPU the rotobrush tool. And all the pencils in general.

Since the April updates to AE and Premiere, both programs crash constantly. Premiere always crashes when I try and drag an ae element into a folder within the project pane. AE crashes every time I open any of the linked AE files that I use in Premiere. I have been forced to install previous versions of each program, which fixed all issues.

For every cut in AE you need 2 layers. Very quickly you have a lot of layers. If you precomps the layers, you don't see "outside" the timing of the edits "under the skin". A Premiere layer only for editing would be dramatically reduce the amount of layer & you could see every edit for timing of your animation.

When using composition -> VR -> Create VR environment, the small window isn't dockable.
It's fine for creating a comp, but afterwards you need to "refresh the VR output" quite often, so it's really tedious having to go to the menu every time.
When it was still Mettle skybox this option was available in the effects panel, way more practical !
