How to Export Your Scene From Cinema 4D to After Effects from Nick Campbell on Vimeo.

In one off my project i needed to make a cinema 4d camera export to after effects.
I know is already out there for some years, but i never had any experience in it yet.
After i watched greyscalegorilla this tutorial, the first thing what happend was import After Effect error.
“After Effects error: Can’t import file: unsupported filetype or extension”
You fix this problem by downloading the cinema4d plug-in on the maxon website. So i did.
http://www.maxon.net/en/downloads/updates/plugins.html
After downloading i saw the power between cinema4d and after effects. Is really amazing what you can do with is plug-in. So don’t wait to long with it like i did, and get you experience with it.

The Last two weeks a work on a 3d composting project, the result you can see in my previous post. When i started with this project i did some research, too found out a quick way to fill in rubiks cube a with video footage. After a some tests i decided to do it the old fashion way, “a stopmotion workflow.” and it work out fine for me. In my research i couldn’t found a application to speed up my workflow, but i found some great & cheap with quick result motion tracking applications. In case i didn’t use pfhoe because there was nothing to track. But in the future this small program will bring me great results. Take a look and found it out by your self.
