    Multi-Frame Rendering is now available in After Effects public beta. We’re starting with Render Queue export, and will add support for preview, AME, MOGRTs and beyond in subsequent releases.

    This is a significant update to the After Effects architecture. Unlike older versions that rendered multiple frames by creating copies of the application, this is true multithreaded rendering. The render pipeline has been optimized from end to end, enabling After Effects to use your system to its full potential.

    We know how important rendering faster is to you. That’s why we’ve taken the time to do this right, and build a strong, high-performance foundation for the future. We appreciate your patience, and would love to hear how Multi-Frame Rendering is working on your hardware and with your projects.

    You can learn more about this multi-year effort here: https://blog.adobe.com/en/publish/2021/03/10/multi-frame-rendering-now-in-after-effects-beta.html

    For output rendering, I know of a plugin that can take advantage of multiple cores. https://www.mekajiki.com/rendergarden/

    While we're at it, It'd be useful to have lower increments of shuttle speed available. Like in Premiere, where shift+J/L gives 10% increments.

  6. Can we not just finally have custom zoom sizes in the viewer?

  11. First you should make it compatible once again with the 32 Bit plugins, and also make it compatible with Slates plugins, like VMR and the VM

    MP's also don't seem to affect 3D-enabled effects like CC Cylinder.

    In the "Spectral Displays" section of Preferences, set the "Decibel Range" for the Frequency display higher.
