• I really like this plugin and find the workflow much easier for getting things into AE.  However, Version 1.08 does not seem to be working in R20.  It never loads an populates the plugin menu. Do you have a R20 compatible build in the works?

    Sorry, can not confirm! AEC4D v1.08 is working as expected in R20.
  • Hoping this be will be compatible with R20 - I've really grown accustomed to this little time-saver...
    Hi Rob,
    AEC4D v1.08 is ready for R20! :)
  • That's really putting a lot more efficiency in my daily workflow.  Thanks for that. 

    One small thing: It should check whether/where the AfterFX.exe is located on load and not just use the path to CC17 without an error if not found.

  • Hi Does AEC4D support CC 2019, also is using the camera morph tag in C4D supported for baking paths between static cameras?

    Hi Mike!
    Yes, AEC4D does support CC 2019 and using camera morph is no problem. AEC4D will always transfer your global PSR-Data !

    Thanks or the hint!
    Will try to provide a solution for the next version!

    Sorry, Haider Najeeb I'm not able to reproduce this. Please answer via support ticket.
  • Hi. We bought the first version of this plugin. We had lots of problems with the z rotation and we fixed by hand. Do we need to pay again to get the upgrade of the fixed version? Please confirm this. Thank you.

    Sorry, that you had troubles Mario... These latest updates & new versions are free for everyone who bought AEC4D... Just go to your "Dashboard" under "My Downloads & Licenses" you can download the latest version!
  • Can we get the old behaviour back where it can create solids? Nulls and shape layers are a hassle to replace with footage.
  • Hey,

    I just found out that if I import auto-scaled Nulls or Shapelayers, the values after the comma are disregarded. For example a plane that is 20,8x15,5 in C4D gets imported as 20x15 in size (on the rectangle path). Is this a known thing or have I done something wrong?

    Huge fan of that plugin already!

    cheers

  • Hello. I have a problem, does not work with cc2019. With CC2018 work. AEC4D last version. image
  • Hi Leon,sorry to hear you're having problems...

    Please make sure to adjust the Path to After Effects in the Settings.

    1.) Click on the little Cogwheel
    2.) If no versions showing up in the dropdown, set it to "Choose..."
    3.) Set your path to: "..YourProgramFiles\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC 2019\Support Files\AfterFX.exe"

    That should do it...

    Cheers,
    Lasse

  • Hi Michael,

    nice to hear you're enjoying AEC4D!
    Setting floats is currently a limitation of AEC4D.

    But I'm working on AEC4D-PRO, there you'll have the possiblity to set floats rather than integers only...

    Cheers,
    Lasse

  • Hi,
    it would be great if AEC4D could handle the camera offset from C4D.
    Are there any plans for the future?

    Hi Andy,

    actually, yes there is. I'm planning to release AEC4D-PRO early next year..!
    The feature-list so far:

    - A Complete Rewrite
    - ​Beautiful new UI​
    - Much quicker Exports 
    ​- Support for Text Layers​
    - Option to export "Current Frame"​
    ​- Overwrite Layers in active Composition​
    ​- Handling of Stage-Objects​
    - Timeline much more reliable including Work-Area and Current-Time
    - Support for Film-Offset of Cameras
    - Support for Comp-Markers​

  • Hi is this a bug or i have pressed something?
  • Hi is this a bug or i have pressed something?
    Hi Thanos, this is a normal behavior in After Effects when using Null-Objects. This has nothing to do with AEC4D.
    In those cases it makes sense to export Shape-Layers. Make sure to enable “Add as Shape-Layer” in the AEC4D-Settings.

    Cheers, Lasse
  • Thanks Lasse. Thing with shape layer is i cant precomp em and keep attributes.
    I m almost sure that in previous versions of AEC4D, i could have a solid precomped with 1 click. Have u changed this behavior or it was never there?

    see below what i mean:

    Yes, I see what you mean and yes, I've changed the behavior to only support Null and Shape-Layers, because Shape-Layers are superior in many aspects. Not in this particular case, though... :/ ……I will have a look what I can do for AEC4D-PRO, to bring back Solids or a better solution for this particular case!
  • Thanks yes, plz return this function if u can, cause it really helps eg. screens with graphics in there. Will u release AEC4D-PRO shortly or maybe a revised version of this one with solids and precomps?
    thanks keep it up!
  • Hi can i have access to a version before solids change? In my download area i have only the initial one or the last one.
    I have a commercial that its crucial to have this behavior with many phone screens.

    Plus why are shape layers superior when we mainly need camera data? At least i never had a case that i needed something other than solids for precomps or for nulls for points in space? Lights i get it for optical flares for instance. But shape layers? I can have em inside a precomp again.
    Can u elaborate so i can understand the usage? ty
  • Hi Thanos,

    I just send you an email.

    Regarding the Shape-Layers, for me they work like a charm. I think it's a big benefit to not have thousands and thousands of Layers in the Solid Folder. I've changed the behaviour of Solids for the upcoming AEC4D-PRO ... Looking forward to the Release!! ;)

    Cheers,

  • Hey Lasse,
    is it possible that the focus distance between C4d and Ae is a bit of? I tried to sent a camera and it's focuse value over to AFX and there is slight offset between those 2. In C4d it reads at the start 2900cm and when I check it in AFX it is at 2926,24Pixels. And if I check it from the top view the focus is slightly behind my object. And this continues throughout the shot. At the end it is in C4d at 250cm and AFX 314 PIxels.

    I also get a message in C4d everytime I click the button saying that it looks like I use the version for the first time and that I should check the settings. It's not a huge deal but it is something that happens at my workstation.

    Looking forward to the Pro Version

    Hi Pascal,
    please open a Support-Ticket and send me the file, please. I will have a closer look for sure..

  • C4D crashes often cause AEC4D to un-license, then starting up C4D will see the popup (that halts C4D opening until user does something) asking trial or input of license. So going to this site, copy/paste, bit of a pain in the butt when C4D crashes a lot and keeps losing license.
    Anyone else experienced this?

    Hi James, i'm not experiencing a lot of crashes in C4D in general. Are you using any other external Plugins like Octane, Redshift for example?! Un-licensing really shouldn't happen at all, even if you experience crashes... I'm just curious about what's causing those crashes in general...!?
