After Effects needs to improve the compatibility with Cinema 4D, adding into CINEWARE tool more features and faster performance for VFX workflows.

The latest update has changed the Extract values from float to integer. It's now useless for 32-bit comps. Please fix.

Ability to go forward/back a settable number of frames (like 7 or 24) using a non-existing combination (like Cmd+Shift + PgUp/Down on Mac and Ctrl+Shift + PgUp/Down on PC).
The number of frames could be set in the Keyboard Shortcuts panel.

After Effects could have more and better effects and tools for VFX workflow.

Median is a very conveniant effect when it comes to removal or retouching works and super fast when your project is set to 8bpc but when you turn it to 16bpc or more it takes forever to render. I would be really thankful if you could do some dev blackmagic to fix that

Putting these new pick whips directly under the layer pickwhips creates a confusing, cluttered area of the UI.
Move them so they are away from the main pickwhip

After Effects needs to improve its CINEWARE for going to be better and better en el flujo de trabajo VFX con Cinema 4D, being more compatible with this Maxon product (ProRender, hair tools, performance and more).

CC 15.1 - MacOS 10.13.3 - J 'n S 1.6

See steps below, but boils down to when creating a new pre-comp from a shape layer using J 'n S, any subsequent save will crash AE.

Steps to recreate:

1. create a new comp, add shape layer, add Joysticks 'n Sliders to shape layer
2. add any property from J 'n S controller to Essential Graphics / Master Properties
3. pre-comp shape layer
4. save
5. crash

Specifically, the inability to copy keyframes or set a nested comp's Master Properties as a MP in a parent comp. Create a solid/null/something invisible, and apply multiple Effect Controls corresponding to each MP (Slider, Angle, Checkbox, etc.), then link the MP's to them with the new pickwhip.

It's a pretty clunky workaround, and not robust at all, but it's better than nothing (arguably).

Bug Report. AE 15.1.0 can't playback Apple PNG format sequences with alpha channel. Images are corrupt.

Often I’ve needed to create a bullet point list but AE doesn’t support these and it’s a right faff trying to bodge them yourself.

What you can do? You could program it to work! The last update (15.1) is not acceptable on my system. My workflow is interrupted and I have to jump back to an older version (14.2). This costs time, money and annoyance. After Effects was(!) quality, stability and reliability. Now it has become a rattle box. Make AE great again!

Using AE since 1995 - on a PowerMacintosh with a dongle.
Now: MacBook PRO OSX10.13.4 - with annoy.

Right now the appearance can be set to pretty dark, but would be great to make it even darker if the user would like. Hours and hours in AE hurts the eyes!

Similar to "Label Colors for Keys" suggestion, with the added functionality of triggering expressions.

Create a keyframe
Right-Mouse Click the keyframe and select Scripted Key
Write parameter specific script in pop up script panel
Scripted key is red with an "E" or "S" on it and triggers expression when playback head hits it.
You could also select script range, and bar is created that indicate the start and end of the script.
No expression controls need.

When previewing / rendering larger comps which have sub-comps generated by importing Photoshop files as comps, system crashes because it runs out of disk space:
In Users[username]\AppData\Local\Temp I get a file "Photoshop Temp1284038260" that keeps growing until the harddrive is literally completely full. (Although neither After Effects nor Photoshop are supposed to use that drive for caching.) It shrinks and then gets completely deleted when quitting AE.

I would like to display "The document is locked for editing by another user" like office so that other people can not edit it.

Make the new windows have the default window controls like maximize and minimise and let them appear as different tabs in the task bar aswell.

It would be amazing if there was a simple way to "lock" a project file. This could come in very handy at the end of a project when archiving or even to limit certain functions of a file.

For instance, once locked, a file can be opened but it can't be exported/rendered unless unlocked. This could be very helpful in the educational realm and for studios once a project has wrapped.

Dragging a dropping a folder of .WAV's into the after effects bin no longer works on the latest version 15.0.1.

Error: file 'Folder name here' cannot be imported - files of type "EVAW" cannot be used as sequences.
