Why did adobe take away our ability to export transparent gif's?

Theres no option to do it, either in the output module or in media encoder.

When porting After Effects to be a 64-bit application, every piece of code had to be reworked, so it was a good opportunity to get rid of some features that no one used and features for which there were better ways to accomplish the result.
Photoshop has always had a superior feature for doing this. Even when After Effects had the feature, the results were not good. Note that even in After Effects CS4 documentation, the recommendation is to use Photoshop instead.
If exporting animated GIF files directly from After Effects is important to you, you can submit a feature request to have it added. You can submit a feature request here.

  • Did Apple take away our ability to swipe back and forth within a Safari window?

    Before the upgrade, I was able to swipe back and forth on the same window. After the upgrade, I can't swipe back and forth, but can only use the tiny left and right arrow keys in the toolbar (click only). I looked on system preferences, and the ability to swipe back and forth has been taken away. Is this a problem for anyone else?
    Moreover, scrolling has been reversed. Rather than dragging my finger down to scroll down, I drag my finger down to scroll up. Is there a way for Apple to change this?

    Swipe left or right SLOWLY with two fingers to move between pages.
    The new, reversed, scrolling is called "Natural".  Dragging your fingers down drags the page down, as with the iPhone or iPad.  You can turn off Natural scrolling in the Mouse or Trackpad system preference if you can't get used to it.

  • Why did Apple take away the ability to shuffle videos?

    A firmware update about a year ago took this feature from my 5th gen video iPod; I was hoping other iPods didn't suffer from the same affliction, but lo and behold, my 3rd gen Nano does the same thing. If you set Shuffle to "Songs" or "Albums", the iPod will only play one video in a playlist, then stop. If you turn Shuffle off, and put Repeat to "All" you can play all the videos in a playlist, but only in order.
    Can anyone think of a way around this, short of manually doing the shuffle yourself in iTunes? Or alternatively, anyone know how to contact Apple techs and get this feature put back?
    Thanks
    Paul

  • Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History?

    Why did they take away the "Open In New Tab"option in Top Sites, Bookmarks, and History? This very annoying.

    Seriously - what could they have possibly been thinking? Mozilla, please tell us this was some kind of mistake. Accessing our bookmarks in FF-mobile is just plain bad as a user experience. And now without "Open In New Tab" we are supposed to drill down to our bookmarks for every tab we want to open? FF-mobile is almost useless without "Open In New Tab". Please restore "Open In New Tab" for bookmarks, thanks.

  • Why did you take away the feature that allowed me to save several tabbs when i close the webbrowser?

    Why did you take away the feuatre that allowed me to save several tabbs when i close the webbrowser?

    Firefox 4 saves the previous session automatically. <br />
    You can use '''Firefox''' button > '''History > Restore Previous Session''' to get the previous session. <br />
    There is also a '''Restore Previous Session''' button on the default '''about:home''' Home page.

  • Why did they take away the playlist feature for movies and tv shows?

    The subject line pretty much sums it up but does anyone know why they took it away? It was seriously the greatest thing ever with my kid's tv shows. I could just turn on the playlist and they could watch a few episodes back to back without having to mess with the remote.

    I don't think they have.
    A recent software update may have reset your Settings which by default is playlists only for music.
    Check AppleTV Setting menus and enable playlists for all not just music.
    Let me know if you can't find the setting in the menu.

  • Why did you take away my REFRESH button in FF 29? How can anyone with a clue decide it is a good idea to remove a BASIC feature like a REFRESH BUTTON?

    This is absolutely ridiculous. How can anyone think it is a GOOD IDEA to REMOVE basic features such as a REFRESH BUTTON from something called a WEB BROWSER?!
    No, I do not want to have to go all the way over to no-man's land on the right hand side of the address bar to click a tiny little refresh button over there! I want to put it where it ALWAYS has been on ALL my browsers. ON THE FREAKING LEFT next to the back button.
    The person who came up with idea should be fired.
    The person who approved this idea should be fired.
    The person who let the final build go out the door without including a simple and easy way to get the refresh button back as part of a "customize" feature should also be fired.
    None of these people have clue about what people want in a CUSTOMIZABLE web browser.
    No, I do not want to revert to some past "classic theme". That is not a solution That is ridiculous.
    No, I do not want the add-on bar restored. That is not a solution. Do not tell me that it is a solution.
    What I want, is a button, in the customize box, that is a refresh button, that I can put where I want it, like it should have been from the start!
    Fix it!

    That is not a solution.
    I want it fixed (like thousands of other people).
    I don't want to hack it up.. or use add-ons. I just want my damned refresh button back and I want it put it on the frickin left.
    I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take it any more.
    Quit screwing around and fix this!

  • PLEASE APPLE, GIVE US SYNCING VIA ITUNES BACK!!!!!! Why take away one of the most valuable features of iTunes???? Why take away our choice of syncing via the Cloud or locally with iTunes????

    DO NOT UPGRADE TO MAVERICK UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE DEPENDED ON APPLE’S CLOUD. It removes the ability to sync Calendar, Notepad, and Contacts between your apple devices. You then can only sync them via Apple’s Cloud. For those of you like me, that do not want to be depended on an external data base accessible via the Internet or Cel Phone (with data charges).
    Why do I not want to use the Cloud to sync and backup?
    1. I found I only have one device with me at a time or am sitting at a computer when I add to my calendar, make a note, or add/change a Contact. Syncing with iTunes while upgrading apps and doing a back up to two external hard drives worked great and met my needs.
    2. I use WiFi and pay for the minimum data plan with my Cel provider (AT&T). I do not want to pay higher monthly data fees.
    3. I do not like a central data base (that will be hacked someday) having the personal info I have in my Notes, Schedule, and Contacts.
    4. I like the security of my most important data being on my own hard drives and written off to Data DVD’s, not subject to even rare central system outages/failures.
    5. I do not like the prospect of becoming dependent on a Cloud in which the provider could decide at any time to either start selling information or charging monthly fees to recover the costs of providing the cloud.
    I am reluctant to go to the trouble to go back to 10.8 because Apple will eventual stop providing updates to 10.8 and 10.8 compatible applications.

    You will need to contact Apple through their feedfack channel. These are user to user forums, sorry.

  • Western iso 8859-1 character set is gone, "other (including Western" does not work. Why did you take it out?

    Some websites need Western ISO 8859-1 character set to run properly and you have taken it away in favour of "other(including Western)", now the site does not work properly. Why did you take it out and can you please put it back.

    ISO-8859-1 and Windows-1252 should be equivalent. Can you provide an example of a page that doesn't display properly?
    If you have to manually select a character encoding to view the page correctly, then the site is broken and you should notify its owner that it needs be fixed. Websites specify the character encoding in one of two ways:
    * [http://www.w3.org/International/tutorials/tutorial-char-enc/ Handling character encodings in HTML and CSS | W3C]
    # The ''Content-Type'' response header.
    # The ''meta'' tag in the page source.
    ''Henri Sivonen (:hsivonen) wrote:''
    <blockquote>We are in the process of implementing http://encoding.spec.whatwg.org/ . The process involves removing support for legacy character decoders that aren’t really necessary for supporting existing Web content.</blockquote>

  • Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    Why did they take out the add all songs option with IOS7

    I can not read the minds of the Adobe engineers or Marketing people. Nesting a sequence is not much more trouble than applying an effect.
    If you are creating a PIP, then a nested sequence is probably your solution. If you are not nesting, scale and crop, then put a white matte under it.
    This is not a great place for asking questions that have no answers outside of internal Adobe decisions. This is, however, a great place to get workarounds.

  • Why did Adobe DC delete ALL files on my SD card?

    Well, the only thing that happened with my tablet today was the new Adobe DC was pushed onto it. Now ALL pics, videos, and old PDF files on  my SD card have been deleted. It is blank.  WOW!!! Thanks....

    I found them. But having to access them separately & then "create a local file" for each one has been very counter-productive & counter-intuitive compared with the 'old' version...I guess 'the cloud' has got us with a ring-in-the-nose leading us where it wants...

  • What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!

    What's wrong with this Forum? Why does Adobe take so long to reply to posts?!
    This is actually "specific" to this Photoshop Forum.
    I typically get responses back from other Adobe forum promptly.
    Chime in.

    The Adobe engineering folks DO duck in here from time to time - and that's a BLESSING!  Please name any other big company where you get to interact with the engineers AT ALL.  I can't.  But I suspect the engineers actually have a lot oof real work to do, and their time here is necessarily limited.
    Your comments are more along the line of "I pay a huge amount, for that I expect better support".  These are very valid comments.  But reality is different from what we may expect, and this forum is not the place to expect Adobe support participation AT ALL.  In fact, the technical support people at Adobe often direct users to come here (something I've always found amusing).
    At the higher level, Adobe may simply not be spending enough on support for literally millions of users.  Is is greed or smart business to try to minimize support cost?  That's up for individuals to decide.
    I suggest you write a snail-mail letter to the Adobe president if you're not getting the support you need.
