    A brand new expressions engine built on modern JavaScript will ship in our next release and is up to 5x faster. You should see the biggest speed boosts with more complex expressions.

    I'm surprised too, Bob. It's a huge pain that's gone unaddressed for far too long. Is AE's code really so mangled that fixing this is not worth the headache?

    A lot of the critical improvements suggested on this forum aren't "sexy" when it comes to the marketing dept. This suggestion (if properly implemented, however) would bring the H Y P E.

    Does the AE team realize the amount of man-hours wasted per year working around this issue? I mean... this could be the sole change for a fully numbered update and people would still rejoice.
    Imagine:

    "Introducing After Effects 2021!
    New features:
    - Mattes are predictable and easy to use now
    - Camera Raw supp-blah blah blah

    The End."
