AE: Offset Channels

It takes quite some layers and precomping to achieve a channel offset effect.
Wouldn't it be great if a channel selectors was integrated in the Distor/Offset effect?

After Effects: Set Matte

Set Matte is a very powerfull effect: it allows to use the Alpha (or other channel) of a second layer somewhere in the Comp for a matte.
No need for the matte layer to be above the matted layer!

BUT
Set Matte is not looking at the layer at full Comp size, but to the bounding box of the layer content. Which makes it less valuable in many cases.

My request:
Add a switch called 'Use full Comp size as layer size', which does just what it says, without the need for precomping.

C4d: Set to New Selection

When using point selections, and saving those in Point Selection Tags, I run into the following:
I tend to overwrite selections all the time, since the Tag is active after the first selection and choosing 'Set Selection' again (to save a new selection) from the menu then stores the current selection in the Tag.

I would like it very much when a menu item is added: Set to New Selection Tag, which automatically creates a new Tag for the current selection.

Thanks!
