The joys of a lazy company running the monopoly on creative software. The AE team is very small and therefore has to prioritize fixes based on number of users effected and the severity of the fix. It is not unhelpful or insulting it is the only solution (besides sending in a feature request, which everyone with this issue should do). And, in this case, his post is a workaround we have to use until Adobe gives the option to disable scroll wheel zooming. I know of nobody better at troubleshooting program issues. Note that Mylenium has over 27,000 posts on the Adobe forums, many of which (especially dealing with very technical things with After Effects) are extremely useful.
The badge is given by the forum system based on the number of posts a user has made that have been marked helpful or correct by other forum users. In fact what does this "MVP+++" badge even mean? Mostly Valueless Post? Being a condescending jerk while doing so just makes you look incompetent. Telling people to turn off scrolling system-wide is not helpful. The solution for me to this problem is that I have a second, wired mouse stuck off to the side of my machine, and whenever I need to use AE, I grab that mouse, then go back to using the one I want to use for every other application in the world. If I use a mouse that doesn't have a scroll function, I feel like I am missing a limb. I, for one, constantly use the scrolling functions. People want to use the scrolling function of their magic mouse on just about every application EXCEPT AE. The problem is that AE handles the scroll wheel function incorrectly, and in a way that is particularly incompatible with the magic mouse, and there is no way to turn off that "feature" of AE.

Nobody has any trouble at all understanding how to disable the scroll wheel on a system-wide basis. You probably should have actually read the thread content instead of creating an account. What other apps do this, other than FPS games with sniper rifles? Maybe Adobe is being tapped to develop the next Call of Duty and they wanted to get some practice?
It is a bad UI practice to use a scroll wheel as a zoom wheel without a helper key. Or at least let us set some reasonable zoom bounds (25-200% would be workable) so that you don't find yourself staring at a single pixel "preview" without warning. Even a menu checkbox to turn off scroll wheel zooming would be fine. Why not have a little toggle lock button built into the panel's bottom menu stuff. Now the Magic Mouse that I have been using on AI, PS, ID, FL, AU and DW without any issues whatsoever is completely useless in AE thanks to this "feature." I hadn't used AE for the first 2-3 weeks of using this machine, and just started a new motion graphics project this morning. I've always avoided Apple's mice because I didn't like them, but I DO like this one. I just got a new Mac, and it came with a magic mouse, which I have never used before. The "correct" way to handle this would be either to treat zoom and scroll as two separate things (like indesign, photoshop, and illustrator do, by the way) and require a keyboard/mouse combo for the scroll wheel to become a zoom wheel, or to put a little "lock view" icon somewhere in the composition preview window. Now that my three minute break is up, back to work! Maybe you can add it to your "Secret Menu" where everything else that makes the program actually usable is also stored.

I understand it's a lot easier to direct someone to alternative software suites instead of adding a checkbox. It's unacceptable that there is no option to turn off these bugs. Those who have many open compositions: did you know you can scroll in the tab area to change which comp you're viewing? You didn't? A useless feature you say? After Effects is the only program that becomes jittery to the point of unusability using this mouse and adds hours to a project just waiting for a frame to redraw after accidentally zooming in or way out to postage stamp size. However, Apple computers now come with Magic Mice. After Effects is awesome, despite many of its short-comings. The work that most of us do with After Effects is so time consuming we don't have time to buy a new mouse, or change software, let alone boycott the company.Īnd let's face it. I'm just gonna go ahead and chime in here.
