Variable Typography Support
With the addition of Variable Type to Illustrator, I would love to see supported in After Effects. The ability to interpolate between the many variables available would be a huge benefit in motion design, streamlining the current process and saving eons of time from the current arduous method. It would open doors to some pretty amazing things.

Mickaël, I agree, and the imperfections are mostly due to how terrible Adobe AfterEffect's plugin APIs are :( Now that Figma has today launched support, I hope more design tool developers will see the need for this important function :)
Ivo, I believe Varifont v2 recently releaed now supports glyph substitutions. This plug-in was essential to the development of the "roboto flex" and "roboto serif" release videos, which would not have been possible to design and produce using drawbot...

Agree, it should work within AfterEffects without any extra plugin. I am not sure if this is still true, but at the beginning 'varifont' was ignoring glyph substitutions (often seen in for example the character 'dollar') and other issues as well. Why I ended up using 'drawbot' for the font animations and hand this over to the animations team which were adding and using it within AfterEffects.

The "varifont" plugin costs $49. and it is far from perfect. We have the right to expect from Adobe this essential function!

The plugin "varifont" from aescripts dot com is the plugin you were looking for!

Please add support for variable fonts (which can be animated of course!). After Effects is really behind the curve on this.

+1 would love this. I bought VariFont but the results are subpar. The fonts don't smoothly animate, but instead have a distracting jitter to them.

Almost four years now and 463 votes later—As variable fonts become more and more widespread and are a huge part of contemporary design trends it seems about time for this feature to be added.
