  Adjusted length of project in C4D, doesn’t reflect in AE.

  Posted by Shandin Fisher on June 11, 2015 at 9:09 pm

  I’m new to 3D, but managed to create a cool flying logo for my company in Cinema 4D Lite. I made the comp 5 seconds originally in After Effects, followed a tutorial to create a new c4d project and extrude my logo, animated cameras, etc. Loving the end result.

  I discovered after creating the flying logo that I need an additional 3 seconds of length. The frame rate in both AE and C4D is set to 30. I adjusted the comp size in AE from 5 seconds to 8 seconds,then went to C4D, lengthened my Project time, Maximum Time, and Preview Max Time from 150 frames to 240. (240 frames = 8 seconds x 30 frames)

  It all worked like a charm in C4D, but after I saved the C4D project, my composition in After Effects remains five seconds. I’m not able to adjust the layer to a longer duration in the AE timeline.

  Any help is greatly appreciated!

  I forgot to mention versions. I am using After Effects CC and Cinema 4D Lite R16.

  Also, to clarify… it’s not that the COMPOSITION that remains 5 seconds in AE, but the LAYER.

  Thank you!
