How can we improve After Effects?

← After Effects

Paste Text Without Formatting

The ability to paste text from the clipboard without formatting (size, colour, font). Would help speed up workflow when copying titles etc from other text editors/word processors.

    Here's a workaround I found. Make a new solid layer. Copy your text, hit enter on the solid layer name and paste your text so it becomes the solid layer name and hit enter. Hit enter again to select the solid layer name and copy the text. Now paste this text into your text layer and the formatting of your text layer should be applied to the pasted text.

    CTRL/CMD - SHIFT - V
    Like in every other editor.

    Please also do this in Premiere!!!

    Is still not a thing?! What the **** the most basic and useful things.

    What the heck is wrong with you people that this still isn't a thing? Get it done. Yet another straw that makes me want to quit the Adobe environment.

    Could be done like this:

    Ctrl+v to paste with formatting (the standard)
    Ctrl+Shift+v to paste without formatting
