Would it be possible to add a search box to preferences so we can find what we're looking for super quickly? Sometimes, going through each tab trying to find the correct attribute can take a while.

The problem: On Macs, extensions are locked to <60fps, which makes performance feel much worse than on PC.

This makes any extension feel substantially worse on MacOS than on PC, especially today with higher refresh rate screens, the host app runs at 120hz while extension panels render at less than 60 (feels like 30).

I have posted more info about the issue on GitHub:
https://github.com/Adobe-CEP/CEP-Resources/issues/467

Please take a look at this, it makes the mac experience with 3rd party plugins much worse, and hurts us as developers for the platform.

It would be great to not only be able to use the "getStyleAt()" method, but also implement something like "setStyleAt()" in order to style portions of the text separately.

It would also help to be able to chain different styles together. Right now, it's impossible to do proper text styling with different style types programmatically. It would be incredibly helpful, especially for Templates / MOGRTs.

Allowing AU audio plugins inside After Effects in the same way as Premiere would be fantastic!

Currently Ae doesn't respect the order of effects when a stroke is applied before round corners.

Actual Order: Fill > Stroke > Round Corners
Ae does Order: Fill > Round Corners > Stroke

This is most noticeable when having a large stroke of like 200. You can't get any small corners.
please fix

What's the point of reduce project?
If I use it it just deletes all my comps, solids and so on.
In this case I have 3 comps that I use. They are open.
I do have a lot of old junk that is not used in my project.
I use the reduce function and AE just deletes all my files and give me an empty project? Am I using this function wrong?

WHy did you eliminate 2 view vertical option??? MORONS!
each year i hate this product more and more - thats why I am moving over to Davinci!

Round Corners offers a great, fast way to introduce rounding to otherwise sharp vertices—but this functionality does not consider several shapes as a single form when first using Merge Layers in the stacking order. If applying a fill or stroke to merged objects as a single shape is possible, why not rounded corners that considers merged objects as a single shape too?

I had a live chat session with AE technical support for a project our team is working on which requires AE to be installed and run from cloud servers with a plugin enabling personalised video rendering at scale.

I was informed that the current After Effects doesn't support running from servers and was suggested to raise a ticket here. Please consider. The AE plugin has a Bot version that supports rendering from cloud servers but AE can't.

Currently, AE and Premiere Pro only support 'regular' text in Essential Graphics text values.
It would be great to incorporate and make it compatible with glyphs, which many Opentype font have.

I often wish that the Gradient Ramp effect would include a transfer mode option so that I could directly overlay the effect onto the same layer.

I use AE for character animation (because AE is weirdly much better for this than Adobe's app "CHARACTER ANIMATOR"), but it's very slow lip syncing by cmd+click to audio scrub the timeline, move down to the keyframe parameter, click, type the number, repeat every few frames. There should be a way to use some kind of modifier to minimise the amount of mouse clicks

It's always a hassle trying to "attach" Nulls or other layers to moving parts of a mesh with puppet pin.

This could be solved simply by having a type of pin that doesn't have any effect of the mesh, it is just "attached" to it. This would allow the placement of Passive Pins wherever you need on you mesh, and then parent Nulls or Layers directly to it, and making them follow the deformations of the mesh.

It would be neat if Photoshop Smart Objects worked in After Effects. It's basically just pre-compositions. I was surprised to see this wasn't already a feature.

A tool/feature that creates a scene camera that animates smoothly between 2 or more cameras placed in the scene by the user. Could integrate controls for things like focus pulling, overshooting camera position etc. good opportunity to use ML or similar techniques to add life to the camera animation by referencing what experts have already created in film and motion gfx. not simply blending between the transformation values of the user placed cameras, but using them as place holders to direct the scene.
