Please make Photoshop recognize Illustrator Layers, so we can keep the link to an Illustrator document, while using it's separate layers in Photoshop.
Both InDesign and After Effects have a way to do this, but Photoshop doesn't unfortunately.
Please include this:
-import options to choose which layers are imported and if they should become Photoshop Layers or just a flat single layer
-when imported as a Smart Object, let use choose the layer set at any time
This is how it should work:
Select a Swatch in the Swatches palette, choose from the menu: ':Select all object that use this swatch' (as Fill / Stroke).
Comes in very handy to select items via the Swatches palette in complex cartoon style drawings. It is also a way to - kind of - create long awaited multi layer groups.
I have this habit where I create a folder in my Project with the name '-Output'. (the dash to keep it on top of the list)
'-Output' can have several subfolders like 'Studio', 'Montage', 'VFX', 'LowerThirds' etc.
All Comps in that folder represent a final rendered movie file.
On my disk where the renders are output, I create the exact same folder structure, so I can easily track which movie belongs to which Comps, in case of corrections or reuse.
My request:
I would love to have After Effects automatically create the (relative) Project hierarchy for the output files on render time.
More specific: when Comps are selected across folders, and these folders do not exist on the output disk, let Ae come up with the dialog "Shall I clone the Project Folder structure for the Selected Comps dear user? [Yes please] / [No, certainly not]"
Since ever, I would like to copy keyframes in a multilayer selection.
And once in a while I try to alt drag keyframes to duplicate 'm (since this is common gesture to make duplicates of anything in a lot of applications).
And now I think: maybe a combination of both is the ultimate way to make a dream come true!
There won't be any confusion of how the duplicates will be pasted, since all of those will keep their tracks.
Hope you can make this happen!
When pasting an object from one scene to another, it always appears at the top of the Object manager.
I would like to paste objects on chosen levels in the hierarchy.
This could work as follows: select an item in the Object manager, choose paste - the pasted object should appear just above the selected object.
I use Alt-G all the time to Group objects in a Null.
But sometimes I need a null on (0,0,0) rather than on the selection's position.
Wouldn't it be great when Alt-G works in that case as well - while nothing is selected it should create a Null at (0,0,0).
