Yeah, that makes sense, except I’ll have to close the demo to take that approach, which means I’ll lose the work I’ve already done. I think I’m gonna just start re-building in Lite.

Thanks for your help, Steve. I appreciate it!

Thanks, Steve.

It appears that all saving and exporting features are blocked (understandably) in the Demo. Your second suggestion is the route I tried to take, but I haven’t been able to get both versions of C4D to open simultaneously. I think because I already had the demo open when I “edit original’d” in After Effects, it just opens that file in the Demo rather than in Lite. I’m successfully able to copy all the elements into the other project, but then get stonewalled because you have to save it to get the changes to take in After Effects. It’s looking like this probably isn’t going to work…

Hi Paul,

Did you ever find a good route forward on this? I’m trying to do the same thing, and can’t seem to find the right Google search terms to find some help. If you got it to work a year ago, I’d love to hear your solution.

Thanks,
Chris

Thanks for your response, John. In the meantime I sort of found my way to a similar solution. I am just making the moves I want with a non-dotted line that has the same width as the dotted one, then using it as a track matte. I’m going to give your method a try too and see if it makes for an easier workaround.

Thanks so much for responding. I appreciate it.
