Cinema 4D (aec) Opening in After Effects (why is there only Color-bars and no Video)

[Tim Shetz]

It would appear that After Effects can’t find the nochmals_trans.mov
In After Effects you can right click on the missing footage (in the project pane) and select replace footage and find it on your system.

Once you find it, I would suggest doing a File>Collect Files so everything gets moved into a folder.

do i have to export the footage separeted from cinema or how do you do that i mean i realized that it says missing path but i thought that if i export it then it should export everything with it which is needed. I would be happy if you could explain how you would export from cinema and what settings you use

thanks for the info so far

From looking at your screenshots it seems that the name of your main file and the passes is the same, if that\’s the case then the pass image is overwriting your main footage and AE is unable to find it because it is non existent.
Try naming your passes with a word before, \”passes_whatever\” and see if this time you get the mov file.

The twirly in your multipass options tab is closed, are you sure you need to render extra passes? Perhaps only rendering the mov file would suffice.
