Please increase the internal zoom box value from currently 30000 to something much bigger.

Reason: I work in 12k and larger comps, and the max zoom value is limited to 200%, which is insufficient for detail work. I need to be able to zoom to 400% and 800% in order to be precise.

please add this to the todo wishlist.

Allow users to choose "Queue in AME" as the default export option rather than "Render". This would standardize it with PPro which has "Queue" selected by default.

please indicate if there is a valuechange between keyframes.

If there is no value change, use a dashed line.
If there is a change, use a solid line.

I remember that some versions ago we could access the 'value' of Source Text via the context menu. But it is grey now, which makes it hard to edit empty text objects (i.e. when those were drive by an expression, but now need to be edited manually). Clicking in the canvas is no serious and reliable option, when the Text Layer already exists.
Please make this value accessible again.

It's useful to be able to eye drop scripts and extensions in the UI (since you can't even sample the built-in libraries panel hahah) so it would be helpful to not darken out the UI so that you can sample something like the swatcheroo panel. It works if you do this from the timeline, but not the top tool bar.

Whe we launch After Effects, it could be great if the splash screen would be:

• Beautiful
• Inspiring
• In relation with After Effects, somehow.

We're not just users, we're also artists, and our environment is very important to our creativity, we're always looking for new stuff, for inspiration.

Pickwhiping a (Spot Lights) 'Point of Interest' to a 'Null' object fails to attach said value as moving the Null no longer affects the position of 'Point of Interest'.

This bug was introduced in a (CC 2020) update and continues to persist into the current version of CC 2020 and later versions of After Effects.

Make it so that after I search for an item in the After Effects project panel the original folder structure honors the twirl-down state before the search was invoked after I clear the search to restore visibility of the other assets. Stop completely twirling up all the folders I had twirled open before the search. Thank you

We desperately need a proper, accessible UI for Shapelayers.

Shapelayers are such an essential basic tool for every Motion Designer, but the handling is a shere nightmare.

Having to go through 4 (!) dropdowns in the cryptic layer settings to simply edit a path or grab a point is no way to work. Seriously!

It's hard to find out which Ae version is running. Only the behind the scenes version number and build are show, not the CC name.

When I try to stretch the layer from the beginning it is the display of the Responsive Design area that comes.

To be able to change the UI font size.

In some gradients multple knots with the same color values are needed. Please add a way to copy knots fast and easy - most logical: Alt and Drag.

Suggestion: from the Timeline header columns context menu, move the columns submenu into the main menu. There’s nearly nothing in the primary menu, if you’re opening this, it’s because you’re changing the columns headers. Let’s save some mouse mileage.

Proposed mockup attached.

There is no automatic way to center an anchor point for each transform group inside a shape layer. I need to select each group using "Y" (Pan Behind) and move it's anchor to the center of each shape group, because After effects put all. of then in the center of the layer (the group of all shape layers groups inside a shape layer. So, it's time to have this option and a shortcut to do it all in a row right?

The render token for automated naming of the output file are great. Please add "Output Folder" as an option.

I love, and always use the "used X times" dropdown at the top of the comp window, but recently the choices seem to be randomly grayed out half the time. I can't determine if anything else effects this behavior. Thanks!
