  C4D > AEC > AE CS3: strange cam flip

  Posted by Wim Roegels on February 26, 2008 at 10:28 am

  Dear all AE friends,

  I am currently working on my first big 3D-Import to AE project, everything ok so far, but: if i import the AEC from C4D I get a strange flip of the cam … the cam moves behind the point of interest and turns … but with the cam in the c4d projekt this does not happen at all.

  My first thought was, that I have choosen somehow the wrong cam, but there is no cam with such a behavior at all.

  Unfortunatly we finished already the renderings (more than 7 days) and checked the import with different cams, which worked well.

  Also I do not see any options within C4D beside toggle “3D Data” and “Relative”) – can someone give a hint, how to fix this?

  Thanks in advance.

  Best regards,

  wim

  It was only a slight misunderstanding of AE and C4D … the camera data for export fits (like it should be) exactly to the the numer of frames that you want to export (Render Settings > Output) and if there is a very short amount of frames – in my case 5 – is setup to be rendered (Frame X to Y) – AE has a problem of understanding the data.

  So I set the frames to be rendered to the complete C4D project and saved the AEC and everything is fine.
