Adobe has updated After Effects to October 2023 (Version 24.0)

Next-Gen Roto Brush, I have been looking forward to, the 3rd generation, and hopefully the best and most powerful version to date.

OpenColorIO Workflow enhancements is welcome as this is an industry standard and After Effects has always lacked color options.

Text Scripting Support should be an interesting addition to make more powerful text animations.
And Currently in the Beta

True 3D Workspace should be pretty awesome, since Adobe does have it’s own 3D software (just wish it was part of the same subscription).

If only I was getting the buttery smooth from Premiere Pro 23.6, for me it is bugged as hell, with it unresponsive due to beachballing.
ProVideoCoalition Fight of the File Formats! PNGs or EXRs
Quite interesting, honestly I have never used EXR’s but I also don’t render to image sequence, I just use PNG’s for single images with alpha, but might need to rethink that.
