AE Integration?
Posted by Jason Linn on June 24, 2006 at 9:41 pmok, so I saved my project in cinema 4d to a .aec file, but after effects 7 won’t let me import it. When I go to the import menu, it’s greyed out. Any sugguestions? thanks!

Not yet, but the 6.5 plugin works. -

thanks!”Render editor view is a still frame–used for test rendering. It’s very similar to the Picture Viewer render, but some parametric objects give you options for using lower quality for editor rendering. The hyperNURBS object is the big one to keep an eye on there.
Rendering to the Picture Viewer gives you the ability to export, whether to still frames or movie files.
