Lay out after effects is to big, seems not right … How to fix ?
Hello !
Since I installed CC some things seem odd in the layout of after effects.
Also Illustrator and Indesign where not ok, but with some searching I found out I needed to change some things in the scale UI settings of my computer.
But After effects is still off, text is to big / even seems unsharp. Also the starting screen is to biggish. I added a illustrator screenshot for comparison, how it should be.
Anyone have an idea to fix it ?

Hi ! Thanks for your response. I can imagine its hard to see through a screenshot from my computer. Because everything fits, but CC is taking way more space , bigger font, more space around text and panels …
So i tried this to make myself more clear.
I installed cs6 again to show the difference, hope you see what I mean, because something is off and it is very anoying to work like this …Left is CS6 and right CC
A big difference in the scale of starting screen ( the rest of CC is just fine and small like I had in CS6, except now in AE )
In CC i can see less layers, so the lay out is taking up more space.
In CC Biggers panels, biggers font, less effects to show – so more scrolling
So, anyone know where to look for ?
In all the other CC software the fonts are good, it all looks like CS6 but in AE it looks like there is some issue in internal scaling or resolution problem …( i didnt have time to worry about the color yet because this is more anoying for me … 🙂 when this is fixed i will maybe start to fall over the new colors !

Haha really ??!!
But why only in After effects change this and keep it all good in all the other software ?
thats just … well … crap

But i just dont get it, why only in AE change the scaling/resolution/size…
So you are sure this scaling thing is the same as in your AE ?I just remembered…. the first CC version i had installed , was a year ago and first i used the trial version, and here it was all just fine .
( not the color problem, but the scaling and so on )so.. is it possible to go back to previous versions ? im going on a quest again 🙂 ….

You can still re arrange everything. make your own workshop. It actually helps.

I concur with those who think that the GUI in this version of After Effects is a mis-step.
A while ago, Todd Kopriva mentioned something in a post here suggesting that there would be some degree of UI customization in an upcoming release. I only hope it will provide a path to restore the UI to something more useable.

This is pretty hilarious. Dudes were FUMING about the new UI changes to the point that they had to roll out a quick patch only for other people to start raging about making the UI more legible.

Ae CC 2014.1 adds support for scaling on hi-DPI displays. This makes the UI usable on systems like the Surface that pack super high-res displays onto a small screen.
Hit the Windows key and type “make text and other items larger or smaller” then open the control panel returned as a search result. If you have the scale set for anything larger than 100%, it will trigger the scaling feature you are seeing.

In this forum I found out that illustrator now has an option to change the UI because it was messed up too.
