it seems there is an issue with the trial mode. Although Licence and install operation while starting C4D (R18) seems to work - the Plugin doesnt show up. Also no debug Log got generated...
I already got the "old" standard AEC4D installed - ist that an issue?
I like the new version a lot, but unfortunately there is an issue with the camera offset. The layers doesn't match when there is an offset in the C4D camera. Could you look into it? If you need sample files, I might have one ;-)
Q > since 6 month now, my daily workflow is split between a big WPC for C4D and my old Mac for AE. AEC4D is still on the Mac right now but can I instal & use it with the same license on both of them in a simple way and without any issue ? ...or do I have to upgrade to the Floating Serveur License for easy swith active license depend on machine I'm working on?
sorry for the problem! This is probably due to using non-latin characters... Can you please open a support ticket and send me your files you're having problems with?

The problematic file has been uploaded via the Ticket, which contains the C4d file and the AE file. I am looking forward to your good news.
Hi, when sending to AE (ae has no comp is just open) it only sends 0-15 frames, while my c4d timeline is 0-100 + solid is not visible inside AE... Is this a bug? ty
edit: even if i make a new comp at same frame range it keeps sending only 15 frames... C4D R20.059 and AE 2019.
Good to know thanks. If i press export layers and AE is not open, it opens and insta closes. Is this a bug? Also check the below video. When i export solid its invisible. What am i missing?

Hi Thanos, Nulls are invisible in After Effects. This is their default behavior and not something that has to do with AEC4D-PRO. If you want to see your Plane and make use of their Colors, I recommend to use the Shape-Layer Export.
The closing "bug" happens with newer AE-Versions and is something on Adobe's end, that I can't control, just make sure to use the AE-Button to open After Effects before exporting...
I requested though a long time ago the following behavior which u said u ll add in PRO version: I need a solid precomposed when i send a plane in order to replace phone screens for example.
I know i can do it manually by adding a new solid in same place, precompose it, change sizes etc etc, but i remember u had one version in the past that did this exact same behavior very nicely and u removed it. Shape layers are not of any use to me, again i ve sent a video showcasing the issue with shape layers. See again: https://www.dropbox.com/s/861zsdvme91nikx/aec4d shape layer precomp.webm?dl=0

So, will u add this feature eventually? thanks
Hi Thanos,
it's already working, since version 1.00! But please, make sure you upgrade to that latest version: v1.02
Just simply Alt-Drag your Composition or Footage onto your Null-Layer to replace.
Thanks, so u mean : I send a NULL from ur plugin and do the rest manually?
Well, you just simply Alt-Drag your Composition or Footage onto your Null-Layer to replace it, and turn the Opacity to 100%. Of course you have to make sure to have the same aspect ratio...
I dont mean to argue here, but this was always the behavior before PRO and thats the only reason i upgraded. It should send a solid precomped in a preferred size and not me doing it... Anyways.. ty

I've never said that I would support such feature neither have I explained such feature in the "Quick Overview".
I'm sorry if you somehow understood the Pro-Version would support such feature...
I'll happily give you a refund if you're not happy, Thanos.
Im just certain that this was the behaviour on some version of AEC4D before u swap it to shape layers. I even remember setting the comp size from C4D.
Its really important not to do this by hand when I have many screens of objects, which is a very common case in commercials. If so do u have this version handy so i could use it? Or even better, consider adding it to PRO? thanks

Hi Thanos,
i'm sorry to dissapoint you, but such feature was never implemented...
However, I'm really interested in your use case.
Would you mind opening a support ticket and send me one of your projects, where this is so important?
Thank you for this plug-in you created, it's really cool. I downloaded the trail version, and I want to export a object with deformer animation, but it seems it doesn't work, is there any way I could export the shape layer with deformer animation to AE? I watched the tutorial lots time, but I didn't find a way to solve my problems, could you help me out???? Thank you very much.

Hi Mengchen Zhao,
I'm afraid that there is no way you can export deforming Objects from C4D to AE. This is well out of the scope of AEC4D Pro and not easily achievable.
Hope you still find it useful and can make some use of the other features...
Such a brilliant tool, thank you. I can't be the first to ask but are there any plans to make one that works in the other direction? Nulls and cameras from AE to C4D?
Killer plugin! It's become a staple in my workflow.
Randomly this week, the plugin has stopped showing up under my plugins dropdown in Cinema. I haven't updated the app or the plugin, so I'm not quite sure what's causing it.

Hi Cory,
maybe you've worked with the trail before?
Make sure yoz activate your license. When in trouble, just "Deactivate License" and "Install License" in the "License Settings" and restart C4D.
The layers doesn't match when there is an offset in the C4D camera.
Could you look into it? If you need sample files, I might have one ;-)
Thanks,

Is this a bug? ty
edit: even if i make a new comp at same frame range it keeps sending only 15 frames... C4D R20.059 and AE 2019.
see issue: https://www.dropbox.com/s/rnqdc60u8fqn5dm/AE C4D PRO ISSUE.webm?dl=0
Plus plane comes in wrong orientation.. Lots of issues, for a single button solution
Also check the below video. When i export solid its invisible. What am i missing?

Just upgraded to the Pro version and it only exports the first 15 frames for some reason, no matter what.
Also, is there any way for you to implement exporting camera movement when the camera is parented to an animated null?
