Type Command or Control S to save my changes. We'll be spending some time in this dialogue later on to improve things such as our Anti-Alliasing, but we'll save that for another day. By entering the same numbers as I had in After Effects, I will see the same aspect ratio viewport inside Cinema as I'm going to get back in After Effects. It will change where warning gray bars are drawn in Cinema 4D, it would warn me something was outside of my normal view. My reason for making these changes to the Render Settings, is strictly for display purposes. Cinema has essentially unlimited resolution and what it can render back into an After Effects composition. However, by using this 3D pipeline between After Effects and Cinema 4D, we don't have to worry about the restrictions of how many pixels can be rendered. This dialogue is all about rendering frames directly from Cinema. You'll notice that we do get an error in Cinema 4D saying that's too large to render from Cinema 4D. The last thing I do, is I go into Render Settings and also change its output size to match the pixel dimensions of my After Effects composition.
We've already set those up in After Effects, so we're good. As we discussed earlier, Cinema 4D defaults to a linear light work flow. Otherwise, it defaults to just the 90 frames you saw which is too short. That's what will set up my Cinema 4D timeline to be 300 frames long, from zero to 299 to match the duration of my composition back in After Effects. Next is setting up the duration of my project. So what you want to do is pick a frame rate that is the nearest whole or integer number to your frame rate back in After Effects. If I enter 29.97, and tabbed a new field, you'll see that it actually rounded it down to 29 frames a second. Unfortunately for those who live in North America etc., it does not support fractional frame rates like 29.97, or 23.976. That's great because that's where we need to do some of our setup. When you have a blank Cinema 4D project, the Attributes manager loads with the Project Settings.
Maxon cinema 4d lite will not open update#
It came up very quickly because I had it open earlier to update the software and to load the online help files. I'll save it and this will launch Cinema 4D.
This will create a footage item in after effects that will match this project that we're going to open in Cinema 4D. It'll ask me to save a brand new Cinema 4D project, I'm going to call it videwall.c4d. With my comp selected, I'll choose Layer, New, MAXON CINEMA 4D FILE. Now that I've set up After Effects's project settings, and also, making a note of its composition settings, it's time to create our Cinema 4D project and set it up to match.
