Cinema 4d 11.5 Aec File Troubles – Can’t import into aec files into After Effects
Hey all,
So we upgraded to Cinema 4D 11.5 here this week, and for whatever reason, After Effects (CS4) won’t import any AEC files. Can anyone think of a reason why this might be happening?
Currently using a quad core intel mac, Leopard 10.5.8. The C4D.plugin is in the same directory it was when I was using C4D 10.5 (After Effects/plugins/).
Any help is greatly appreciated.
*edit*
Here’s my workflow:
Cinema 4D – create object, attach an ‘External Compositing’ tag to the object. Add a camera, a couple lights, add a simple camera move. In Render Settings, I’m outputting a simple Quicktime file, have “Save” checked under “Compositing Project File” and “After Effects” as my Target Application. I also have the “Include 3D Data” checkbox checked.
In After Effects > Import, I select the AEC file. Nothing happens. No errors. No files. It worked fine with C4D 10.5. I’m sure I’m missing something here. I’m using the plugin from here: https://www.MAXON.net/en/downloads/updates-…es/plugins.html
Anyone else have this problem? If not, I’ll call MAXON on Monday.
Here’s a simple test-

Make sure you have latest version of the aec importer installed in the ae plugins folder.

Yup, you have to update the plugin. You should find it here:

I’ve been having this same problem…with both C4D 11.5 and 11.523.
Latest version of AE CS4, and the exchange plugin. The same .c4d scenefile – aec will work if exported from v11 but not v11.5x
But not everyone is experiencing this, so I have no idea what is causing it.
