You're a champ! All your tutorials are clear and to the point and I especially enjoy the knowledge you're sharing about C4D to UE4. Also, great NAB 2020 presentation, thanks man!
Thank you boss glad you enjoy what I'm doing #letsgochamp 💪🏾
Thank you so much! This was really helpful in a time of need
Your welcome glad I could help out 🙌🏾
I have been watching your channel for a very long time, you are awesome! Thank you so much for your hard work!
Thank you glad this cotent is still relevant for real 🤙🏿🤙🏿
Very well explained, thank you so much!
Your very welcome 🤙🏿
You....are.....AWESOME!!! This is exactly what I needed to figure out!
Haha glad to help 😎
This was very helpful, thank you!
No problem at all
Thanks loads! You're a great teacher.
Thank you Sable means a lot I try 🙏🏾
Awesome tute! Super helpful, Thanks
Your welcome thank you🤙🏾
Great work man! Much appreciated !!
Thank you my friend I appreciate it 🤙🏾💯
Thank you for this. It's really helped me out.
Glad it helped!
Thank you! It really helps me a lot
You're welcome
Thanks, very clear and useful. It would be great if you can make a tut on how to bring C4D lights moving or following a path/spline in order to make AE elements to follow the light (for instance to use with Trapcode particular or any object following the C4D path). It would be lso nice to see how moving NULLs would work between C4D and AE
Right on thats a good idea for a tutorial I'll see what I can do
love it and it works thanks man!!!!!
Glad it works for you! 🤙🏾
Thanks a lot Bro. Very Helpful Tutor.
You are most welcome thank you Aran 🙏🏾
thanks.. im really looking for this
Your welcome Amin!
Hi Jonathan! Once again you save my life with your tutorial! Thanks bro!
No problem means a lot coming from you my man.
When can we plan to see some more " Hexagon " renders 😉
@@JonathanWinbush Currently i'm working on one, and decided to change my workflow to import 3D data to AE instead of doing everything inside C4D (however struggled with importing .aec file, and that's where your tutorial saved my azz ;) ). So tay tuned my man! Peace!
Can't wait to see it
amazing work bro!
Thank you 👊🏾
Thanks, it worked perfectly
No problem at all 👊🏾
thanks alot man you saved my hole project
Glad to hear it! 🤙🏿
Thank you for this video, it is really valuable. 🙏🙏
You're welcome 🤙🏾
Very very helpful thank you!
You're very welcome 🤙🏿💯
You are a good man, i found this tutorial very helpful for me, we need to learn more about this render method and the exporting to AE tips
Thank you again
No problem at all glad I was able to help out
@@JonathanWinbush i will learn UE4 for you particularly Mr. Winbush 😊
Thank you 🙏🏾
Great tutorial! Thank you!
Thank you my man
Thanks again. Somewhy now not working. I mean it imports the camera movement, but not accurate. It's in different position orientation. Do you have some idea why?
Very useful bro I like it
Thank you
Thank you for this tutorial. I didn't know this. Very useful.
Oh yea I use this technique almost every project its definitely a must.
@@JonathanWinbush since then I used this technique a lot. My life got easier 😁 I came again to setup for new Adobe versions 😄Thanks again for this.
@@IsuruRandika haha yes I've been using this technique for almost my entire career now it's always been useful
@@JonathanWinbush Hey, I'm visiting here again 😆😆😆
@@IsuruRandika welcome back 😉
Great Tutorial :)
Thank you!
Thanks a lot
No worries!
thank you so much! you dont know how much this means to me.
Your very welcome glad I could help 🤙🏾
@@JonathanWinbush i have a slight issue with exporting the c4d project file to after effects after doing what you said/showed me . still it wont buch.
Whats it doing?
TY!
absolutely 🤙🏿
Thanks man
Not a problem 🤙🏾🤙🏾
You helped me a lot. I never saw the nulls in ae and put lights instead. But if you copy the position of the lights and paste them on your layers, weird shit is happening. Thanks a lot man!
So its not working for you with the nulls?
You just saved my ass! Thanks a million!
Hahaha of course glad you got value in it
Can you show how to create camera for moving objects? Side, front and back.
that was perfect ;)
🙏🏾 thank you
Thanks.!! I was struggling with that. Now I'm done!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What a nice tip.! THANKS A LOTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTT
You got it my dude 🤙🏾
thank toy for this lesson
Not a problem Ismail thanks for watching
Thanks a very nice tutorial! One question: After importing to AE, can you update the .aec file without having to delete all previous imports in AE? Updating the PNG's is no problem but the changes in the nulls/lights and camera also need to update by updating the .aec? Hope you can help me out :)
Yes so when you need to make updates to the camera, nulls, lights etc.. you must export a new AEC file and reimport it to get the updates you made. I wish you could just have it auto update it's a feature I've requested before.
WINBUSH okay, thanks for your help!
@@ydesign7518 No problem at all
o man , thanks!!!
Yup no problem 🤙🏿

Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you Thank you so much!
No worries😉
Is it possible to import polygons in the scene and match the camera, when I bring in the polygon obj (with Element 3D in AE) and the camera in your way, they do not match? would you kindly tell me the problem? Thank you!!
I'm not sure if you can I've never used element 3d before I mainly use Cinema 4D and Unreal Engine for 3d stuff
Nice tutorial, I'm kinda shocked there is an importer file since the support between c4d and ae is so extensive...is it possible to bring null data into c4d without having to render the png sequence at all? I have a baked null object that is really basic and it seems crazy to have a bunch of pngs rendering just to get that info....thanks!
Yup so at 5:35 the scene there where it says Save Project File you can click that to export just an aec no rendering needed
@@JonathanWinbush I tried it again and it worked, thanks for confirming this!!!!!
Thanks or this info
Your welcome 🤙🏾
Now that the plugin is working, I created a qube with nulls on each side, in after effects i want a text layer to be parented to each nul as the qube spins 360 on the Y axis. when it spins though the text moves but overlaps the qube, it doesnt get covered as it spins to the back side. do i need an alpha channel or what am i missing, if you can make a quick tutorial that would be great
You'd have to have the text layer cut out by hand when its not supposed to be visible. Only way to have it act like it truely should is to just do the text in cinema
I'm aaa "gonna wanna" like this .
Haha my brother I appreciate you Awais 😉
Hi mate, what if u have a moving C4D light and then import it into AE to use as emitter for Trapcode particular? I tried that but no particles appear at all. I got 3 layers: camera, light (both imported from C4D as 3d data) and Particular (emitter set to Lights, and my light name is "Emitter") How can I do this?
I done it before just have your particular set to light and it should reconize it
Hey Winbush how do to bring a camera info to after effects if the camera is animated within the align to spline tag?
Yea man so if you bake your keyframes on your camera you should be good. I did an example actually this morning on how to bake your camera keyframes here th-cam.com/video/2Yqc8gml6Zc/w-d-xo.html
WINBUSH awesome dude thank you for the info that was very helpful
@@edwardgomez6094 No problem glad I could help

Hey WINBUSH,
first of all, thanks for this tutorial. But while the tutorial I registered a problem on my side. I actually have after effects 2019 cc and when I open up my Cinema4D Folder to search for the plugin, I only get the folder CS3-CS4 and CS5-CS6. But I need CS_CC like you do. My question is: Can you maybe put on a link in the describtion with the plugin for cc 2019?
I am looking forward for your answer,
best regards.
Sure I just uploaded it for you here let me know if this works for you we.tl/t-Q4N44gEqWp
@@JonathanWinbush Wow that was fast. Everything works perfectly now. Thanks a lot!
@@maxs.844 no problem man happy to help 👊🏾
Thanks for this Mr.Winbush ! , I am trying to export Null with Extract Scene and aec. Extract Scene doesn't bring in Null in S24 and .aec not opening for some reason . All the best :)
I'll have to try in 24 but method should work
@@JonathanWinbush Cheers dude :), I tried in S22 and it works in there

(I copied this, because I have the same problem)
I mean if you have legit copies of your programs it should all be there
Does cineware enable the null and camera data info to be updated?
You'd have to re export again
SO im have a problem where I animate a character and bring the render into after effects and I try to track the characters mouth so I can add new mouth animation in after effects...but for some reasons after effects have trouble tracking my animations...do you know of any way of importing like a motion track from cinema 4d like to ae...or any tricks
Im not sure in that one
@@JonathanWinbush okay thanks
@@JonathanWinbush funny enough I think I figured it out..my animations were rendered at 30fps and my ae compositions were at 23.976
This is the best technique which I didn't knew before.
Ya i use this way all the time never let me down
@@JonathanWinbush Yeah.. Thank you WINBUSH. You are really genius.
Till today I only used to follow Greyscalegorilla. But, now I started to follow you as well. Lots of Love from NEPAL.
Oh wow thank you brother I'm humbled and honored 🙏🏾
1. Is it compulsory to render in cinema 4d before importing .aec file in After Effects ?
2. If yes then do we need to save .aec file in same folder where we saved our rendered png in Cinema 4D ???
hello sir can i get from you editable C4d HUD
I don't have any editable HUDs?
hi, i have a probleam: when i import aec file in after effects. it shows missing parts. how can i fix?
They probably didnt render out
does it work with Stage camera setups from c4d? seeing massive slippage
I'm not 100% sure I dont really use the stage but also make sure your framerates are the same in all places in c4d th-cam.com/video/uJjgSNNqljU/w-d-xo.html
@@JonathanWinbush yh i got it working with stage fine. thanks
This is great sir, but I still don’t have transparency in After effect I don’t know why.
I import everything the null, camera, lights but I still don’t get transparency in after effects so that I can able to put my own background
When you open a new project check to make sure you don't have an solid in your scene
Mate, I am going to find you and kiss you!! ...or just buy you a drink of your choice! Absolute Legend. I have been looking for a fix for nulls floating off in AE all day and the .AEC file import was the way to do it. I've been trying to bake everything! Good work. Top man. THANK YOU!
Glad it worked out for you my man. No kiss or drink necessary lol a sub is plenty 🤙🏾
HI, I like this tutorial but im encountering a problem, Ae can't see the file and when i say import all frames, it tells me that it has failed to connect to aobe dynamic link, please help me
Did you place the c4d plugin in the ae plugins folder?
Yes I did
Im not sure I've never seen that error. Your inporting the aec file correct?
As I am new to c4d and I think I take to much time to render an animation clip, that’s why I want to set up my all project in c4d and when it’s final I render it in after effect or media encoder, please tutorial about it, please 🙏🏼
I don't really think it works that way you but you could always take your scene from Cinema 4D into Unreal Engine 4 to render there it'll render fast and Unreal Engine is free

This is not working with a RS Camera and Target Tag on it. I have a Null object in my scene to control where the rs camera is pointing to and if i import the c4d in After Effects all the Nulls are facing in totally different directions. Any help for me? This is so frustrating.
It should works the same for redshift
@@JonathanWinbush Yesterday night I tried for two hours to get it working with a very simple scene, one camera with two position keyframes, a null object as the target for the camera and another null as reference in after effects. Everytime i used the target tag on the camera no matter if normal camera or rs camera the reference null in ae was displaced (faced wrong with weird rotation anomaly). This is reproducable very quick. Without target tag its fine. Target tag destroys it. You can try for yourself. There is no workaround but difficult baking with expresso, which is no choice for me. Cineware is buggy.
@@rbsn3d but I'm not using cineware in this tutorial I'm exporting an aec file which the render engine doesn't matter it's only exporting position data.
@@JonathanWinbush aec isn't working as well. :( Have you tried it with target tag on camera and moving target null? And it worked for you?
Weird. No AE exchange plug in fiie in my Maxon folder (on a pc too) and no exchange plugins folder which I have seen before. Maybe its a R22 issue? Or S22. They call it R22 in the folder. lol But wonder why I don't have it.
S22 is a bit weird but I'm seeing it in C:\Program Files\Maxon Cinema 4D R22\Exchange Plugins\aftereffects maybe see if you have it there if you copy and paste in your file explore
@@JonathanWinbush found it. Was searching in the wrong path. was looking at c:/users/app data/plugins where i keep the octant plugin. My bad. Thank you for the speedy reply and invaluable tutorials. Hope you're well!!
No problem man glad you found it because its definitely useful
@@JonathanWinbush without a doubt. going to try my first c4d to AE project soon to do callouts on some HUD type thing. 'preciate it!!!
Awesome man best of luck 👊🏾
how can i get this plugin
You dont have to buy it I showed you where its at around the start of the tutorial
I am running into an issue as well. When i select to import the .aec file after effects loads for half a sec and then nothing happens, no files get imported as if i didnt do anything, i am using cinema 4D r21 and after effects 2020
Did you install the c4dimporter plugin
@@JonathanWinbush yes and i tried putting it within the folder it comes with and by itsself. without installing it i could even select the .aec file but when i install it, i can select it but wont import, i dont think i even get an error message
@@mustafaalqaragholy8159 Whats the error message say
@@JonathanWinbush i think its a bug in the software, i am updating cinema 4d now and part of the updates is a fix to the .aec import
@@mustafaalqaragholy8159 Oh right I actually just did a video on how to fix it here but the update should fix it as well
You can manually go in the aec files and make a change it was a bug by c4d th-cam.com/video/PnZLYFonBFQ/w-d-xo.html
how can i export redshift light???
Should just export
@@JonathanWinbush mm doesn't work for me, in the same scene c4d saves properly c4dlight but doesn't export the redshift one! maybe it's my fault
Im not sure i havent used rs in a year now I've been using unreal engine instead these days
why aec format does not support in my after effects
No idea
@@JonathanWinbush it works now. i got another problem, does c4d null contain any keyframe data?
@@rajibsutradhar1684 if you keyframed it in c4d then it should come over with that data yes
@@JonathanWinbush thanks. it works fine now
Thanks, just dusting off Old 3D skills. Super rusty after 7 years lol
Never to late to jump back in 👊🏾
I can't import .aec in after effects for some reason.
Did you follow all the steps and put the plugin in the correct space?
@@JonathanWinbush yes It turns out it is neccesarry to drag a C4DImporter.aex from C4D on After effects support files.. Quiet an important info that I miss. You need to do it so AE supports c4d.
👍👍👍
👊🏾👊🏾
Mac OS Catalina won't let you run that plugin anymore.
