How can we improve After Effects?

Ability to mute Keyframes

In C4D you can 'mute' keyframes - essentially this acts like deleting the keyframe except that a dummy 'reference' key is left there, perhaps greyed out, that stores the value(s) and interpolations it had before it was muted. Keyframes to either side behave exactly as if it was not there, until it is un-muted.

    This would be awesome.

    In the meantime you can add a value to the expression that overrides your keys.
    But the problem is, if you have keyframes AND expressions on a layer,
    you first have to override the expression, with a value at the end of the code.

    This will get quite laborious!

    hey guys, I just found a way to do this. It's not so good but does the trick. just type the value where you want the property to freeze in expressions. It will automatically disable the keyframes and pick the value from the expression.
