  2. When we double click on Audio file in the Project Panel or in the Timeline, it would be great to have wave form in the Footage Panel?

    True that! Better yet it would be good to have the spectrum analyzer from Audition (I find it more useful for picking out voices and stuff)

    And for the record I do believe AE is the last major VFX software to not support Python. Mocha even has a friggin python API! And who the heck is writing scripts for Mocha!

    @Anonymous both actually. I'm not just saying that I "like" python over JS, because that isn't really the issue here. The issue is that I love python over this archaic 1995 version of JS! Take file handling for example. Python can scan a directory roughly 10x faster than Extendscript and I have no idea why. It is so bad that I have written my scripts to call external python scripts and parse the results back in via pipes whenever I need to access files/folders. Then there's the matter of community - python has SO many modules out there that can do virtually anything. Try finding a machine learning toolkit for Extendscript... Yet imagine if python was integrated into AE the way it is in Nuke or Houdini - you could build whole AI systems right in After Effects. They could even open up some of the C++ api to Python and we could start writing plug-ins! (remember the old pixel bender days?)

    And while we're at it lets just switch to python already! This old 1995 javascript is killing me... I dread scripting for AE these days.

    I do a lot of countdown graphics and unfortunately if you do not use a monospaced font the kerning jumps all over the place. This can be fixed with the archaic "Numbers" effect, but that is extremely limited. For example it can't count past 30,000... I would like to see a new option in the Character palette for forcing a font to be monospaced.

    This has been in AE for at least 10 years. Just turn on the layer motion blur and masks should be motion blurred as well. You can manually turn it on by clicking "Layer" in the menu bar "Mask > Motion Blur"
