Adobe After Effects CC Classroom in a Book (2019 Release), First Edition

(Barré) #1

finish your work in Cinema 4D, save the file, and it will update automatically in After Effects.
You can return to Cinema 4D to make additional changes to the layer.


1. Deselect all layers in the Timeline panel, and then choose Layer > New > Maxon Cinema
4D File. After Effects displays a Save As dialog box.
2. Name the file subtitle.c4d, and save it in the Lesson12/Finished_Project folder.
3. Click Save.

Saving the file adds a C4D file to the Timeline panel, and After Effects opens the Cineware
effect in the Effect Controls panel. Cineware creates and manages the link between After Effects
and Cinema 4D.


Cinema 4D opens with an empty scene, displaying only the 3D grid.


Note
You may be prompted to update Cinema 4D, or to register in order to access
additional features. You can complete the exercise without doing either, but if you
plan to use Cinema4D on your own projects, consider registering and updating the
application.
