• With asynchronous media loading, working with After Effects is faster. When you open a team projects in After Effects, you no longer have to wait for the contents to display on screen. As you open a team project, it displays a placeholder information for the entire list of components the project has.

For more infromation, see Opening a team project in After Effects.

• Team Projects now has an edit original option for comps, similar to Premiere Pro and After Effects. You no longer have to manually open the team project in After Effects every time you edit the source file. You can be within the After Effects environment, edit the footage in Team Projects using the edit original comp.
• After Effects headless only imports the media that is relevant to the composition. This improves performance, speed, and reduces the memory footprint.

User Experience improvements

This release of Team Projects offers the following experience improvements:

• You can easily navigate through multiple team projects with the new search option in the Manage Team Projects dialogue. As the number of team projects grows, it becomes time-consuming to scan through a long list to find the desired project. Now you can search and filter for quick access to the specific project. The new filter works in all three tabs in the dialogue (Team Projects list, archive list, invites list).

For more information, see Search and filter team projects.

• Better support for Google Drive, Box and OneDrive.
