Install Plugins for Cinema 4D Lite (on the After Effects CC Install)

[Walter Soyka]

That may depend on the plugin, but most will probably not work — the C++/Python APIs are not supported in C4D Lite [link].

Maybe you could try by creating a folder named “plugins” inside your the C4D Lite folder and copying your plugin there?

Mac:
Applications > Adobe After Effects CC > Plug-ins > MAXON CINEWARE AE > (CINEWARE Support) > lite

PC:
C:Program FilesAdobeAfter Effects CCSupport FilesPlug-insMAXON CINEWARE AE(CINEWARE SUPPORT)lite
