How can we improve After Effects?

← After Effects

Separate Dimensions on by Default

Add a toggle in Preferences for users to default to Separate Dimensions enabled rather than something that needs to be turned on for every object.

It could fit really well right underneath "Default Spatial Interpolation to Linear" in the General Preferences tab :)

    Please give the "separate dimensions" opportunity for every array!!!!!!
    EVERY TIME I WANT TO CONTROL JUST ONE AXIS,
    IT'S A PAIN **********!!!

    Just one more little nudge, not that it matters, to expect any customer support or the faintest acknowledgement from Adobe in this forum would require a miracle of conscience from their absentee support staff.

    Can someone, ANYONE, from Adobe do us the freaking courtesy that other Adobe improvement forums seem to have, and acknowledge some of these suggestions? This one in particular is critical to just about ANY FREAKING ANIMATOR I KNOW using this app. Premiere, Photoshop etc all have Adobe people chiming in regularly, here it's crickets. Frustrating to say the least.

    it is insane this isnt default, and even more insane the hoops needed to go through to turn it on, not to mention losing bezier curves when you do.

    +separate dimensions for in effect properties (shape layer positions, emitters, Puppet PIN position etc)

  • James commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Can it also transfer all the easing properties if you already have existing keyframes when you select one or the other

  • Kyle Martinez commented  ·   ·  Flag as inappropriate

    Along the lines of what Joao commented - perhaps Separate Dimensions should be available for any multi-dimensional property just just for those found in the Transform property group.

    Since we are at it... Can we also make Separate Dimensions available for the rest of the transform properties please.
