Thanks Eric for bringing this topic to Ultrashock! Please let us also know how that open discussion went.

Here's a little list I'm thinking of.
[list=1][*]The ability to import a Flash timeline into AE. I do a lot of previsualisations in Flash, and instead of having to render a Vector or Bitmap stream to use in AE, it would be nice to have all my still editable objects ready in AE, instead of having to recreate everything over and over again.
[*]Please put the Flash 8 Video Encoder inside the AE Render Engine asap. I don't see any reason why I have to export to any other format first, while I want an On2 VP6 FLV file in the first place. It's so frustrating to do the work double all the time and setup multiple batchlists in different programs if you're dealing with a lot of videofiles.
[*]Easing of Keyframes indeed needs a simplified version for people who are not used to the advanced Bezier curve editors.
[*]Newbies definately can be helped out with some wizards to setup complex tasks / settings.
[*]I personally would like to see texts effects wizards, where you can see text effects on the fly, rather then go to Bridge or the preview GIFs. Right now, the text effects engine is extremely powerfull, but makes it also hard to use or to correct simple settings in some cases (you'll have to search extensivly for that ONE value sometimes to finetune your effects). Remember KPT Show? That's the probably one of the best text effects preview systems I have ever seen. That should save most users a lot of time.[/list=1]
