Cinema 4d to AE import problem–help !!
I realize i’m importing massive amounts of data to A.E but can’t figure this one out. When importing my :30 of camera data from Cinema 4d to After Effects i get the following error. “After Effects: not enough memory to create list. 1k requested, 5466508k available. (27:1) ” What is this about ? I’m running a P4 with 2gb of ram and a ATI fire GL 5100 card. I need a work around real quick like-:)
thanks for any help or feedback

I don’t know the answer, but want to make sure that you also posted this at the C4D cow and C4Dcafe.com.

Im on a Mac, and AEs memory is set automatically, then theres a preference under the Apple Icon that lets you increase processor speed..
I would try and look under preferences in AE or you PC, and see if there is a way to increase memory..
I havent run into this yet but you might just have to split up your comp in the end. -
yep I think so, that’s what I trying now–thanks for feedback

Files with a lot of keyframes can screw up the import process for sure. Since your file is 30 seconds long, there’s lots of keyframe data in there. If adjusting your memory settings doesn’t help, try deleting the lights from your C4d file before exporting. If you still have issues, try exporting the camera data in short segments; say, 10 seconds each, and then paste the keyframes back together in AE. I’ve had to do this before on longer projects; it’s a minor hassle, but it was the only way to get things to work.
Good luck!

Alas, if i render out a :30 .RPF sequence and NOT a .aec file I can get it to work. Always the small details that get me 🙂 Otherwise yes i would have to copy and paste keyframes.
Thanks everyone for ur help
