Camera rotation problem when exporting a camera from After Effects CC to Cinema 4D 15

Looking around, this problem is happening to a few people, with no satisfactory solution.
Basically, when I export an AE camera / project into C4D, everything looks great... till I notice that the camera's horizon will jump a few times.... so that if it were tilted 20 degrees to the left, it will pop to be tilted 20 degrees to the right.
It's definitely not in the footage- it's a simple walk down a hallway. The AE track is fine- it's only in the C4D track that the problem arises.
I've tried creating new AE projects, re-exporting, etc. I'm running AE CC and C4D 15.
Anyone ever figure out how to fix / get around this?
Thanks!

It's 13.2.0.49... I just installed it yesterday.
C4D is R15.008
I'm wondering if I would have the same issue with C4D Lite, but I can't figure out how to open it (I assume it downloaded with AE). Rather than launch Lite, AE seems to automatically find C4D 15 and open that.
I've been using AE and C4D for over 15 years, so I'm quite familiar with both. The bug is odd and quite disappointing, as I bought this version of AE specifically so that I could track footage and export the camera info into C4D.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    When diagnosing a failed render the first thing you should look for is the difference between the failed project and one that is successful. What is different? What changed?
    Before we can get any idea of why these renders are failing we need to know the encoding settings and the type of source footage. Encoding Failed does not tell us anything useful in diagnosing the problem. If your AE project is using effects or footage that is clogging up memory or has some other problem then we should know about your AE comp as well. That means we need to know what version of AE you are using, what effects are applied, and anything else that is different in the project that fails and a simple project that does not.

  • How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    How do I export a video from After Effects CC to an iPhone? I'm using a PC.

    Short answer, there is no simple "export to iPhone", but if you just want to have a movie that you can watch on you iPhone, just send yourself an attachment via email (other than .avi) and save it to your phone.
    You can also use dropbox as an option.
    With an app, you could mount your iPhone as an external drive. (check out iExplorer)
    Also: check AME for h264 variations before you send it to yourself.  There are presets for iPhone compression.

  • Problems exporting Animation codec from After Effects CS3 to FCP

    Hi,
    I wonder if anybody can help: I am having troubles with video transfer from After effects CS3 to FCP 6
    my workflow is to edit and export in FCP as quicktime movie - work on the clip in AE and then export as Animation/best quality/Millions of colors+. The footage is SD Pal 1024 x 576.
    the problem is that the files don't seem to play back properly in quicktime - very jagged and lots of ghosting. I assume this is due to the memory heavy features of the codec.
    However any file over 10 seconds will not be imported into FCP natively and a message reads final cut pro does not support this file type.
    I overcame this by opening the clip in quicktime and then exporting again with exactly the same settings - this then reads in FCP - although this seems over the top
    I now want to work with a 10 min finished comp in FCP but when I try to do this it picks up the ghosting that had appeared when playback in quicktime. However when rendered/ exported from the FCP timeline it retains the ghosting
    in short I can burn a successful DVD of the footage as is from AE but it is not suitable to FCP.
    I have tried exporting the clip in quicktime as quicktime DV pal but this retains the ghosting. Is this a hard ware problem or is my work flow wrong?
    thanks
    Paul

    Converting from A to B means either a lossy conversion or a significant increase in storage requirements (up to 5x with DV as the starting point). You are best served with keeping conversions to a minimum.
    > cause this compressor doesn't like images
    What is that based on?
    > in several forums I have red that "automatik" inside of encore does often not work properly
    This is in contradiction with the general feelings on this forum.

  • When exporting a .wmv in After Effects 5 the export adds additional black/Blank frames at the end

    We are experiencing an issue where we or a client provides us with a video that is a .wmv video, exported from After Effects 5 and it adds almost a second of data less video.
    What I mean by data less is the video renders out as WMV, 30FPS, 24 Bitrates (No audio) that is say 7 seconds long within After Effects. The moment it is rendered/exported, it is 8 seconds and shows 8 seconds in any program we import it to. That last second is empty, there is no frames, not even black frames, and when you preview the video in any program, you see the scrub bar, drop about 1 second before the actual end of the timeline.
    I opened the video in Camtasia, and you can clearly see that at the end, it shows in the timeline (Video Editor), however there is no actual video.
    I import the video in my company’s software, and I move the frame scrubber at the end, it says 'Unable to retrieve the requested video frame.'. If we import it to our software, it sees no frames for that second, and automatically loops and adds the first second of the video to the end.
    Typically we only import uncompressed AVIs, but would like to know what this issue is.
    Windows 7 Enterprise
    64bit OS
    After Effects 5

    I 100% agree about not being a fan of .WMV. We only recently added .wmv video support to our own program our clients use for importing videos and graphics. Our customer only used .wmv because it was on our list, and we are running into this issue.
    Two different users (our own Graphic Artist, and our clients Graphic Artist) and we get the same result. We are 100% certain there is no video framerate mismatch in either of the AE files.
    It would be interesting to see if anyone else using AE, if they could make a video few seconds long, export as a WMV and see if another program shows a whole extra second at the end, that has no data.
    Thanks for your responses thus far.

  • Exporting Transparent Background From After Effects

    I am working on a FCP project which I have also made an animated lower third in After Effects. However, I do not know how to export from after effects preserving the transparent background- it always just ends up as being black...

    From AE, you must use the Animation codec set to millions of colors+

  • Problem when exporting raster formats from AI...

    Whenever I export an image from AI using "Save for web", I get a 1px line on the top and left of the image, for both jpg and png. If I extend the background of the image past the artboard, it works. 

    Syrax,
    Are the artwork and the Artboard properly aligned/fitted and (with boundaries) at whole pixel values?

  • Problem when exporting movie, video stops after 2 minutes

    I set up a Project containing both images and videos. They were all shot using a digital camera (Canon SD400).
    When I export the 5 minute movie, around 2 minutes the video freezes, but the music (from an mp3 file) keeps playing. At 2 minutes one of the videos start to play and the video has a little yellow button showing on it in the timeline. None of the other videos have this little yellow button, although I am not convinced that this is the one causing the problem. Here is an image of it:
    http://dombovari.com/stuff/imovie.png
    Any ideas why the video playback would stop when I export it? It plays fine in iMovie when I preview the project, but when exporting, the video playback stops.
    Thanks!

    I have this very same problem. All 640x480 clips shot with a Canon SD550. iMovie 5 will play back everything fine in iMovie, but once I export the file using H.264 or MPEG-4, the video stops after about 30 seconds (of the 3 and half minutes of the video). The music still plays, but the video has not exported properly (and it shows in the file size).
    What WILL work is if you export it to web, but I can't use that. I need it exported at its full quality. (Also will not work, by the way.) But, again, it plays in iMovie just fine. I even tried exporting from the timeline file (with the reference media files) in the iMovie file package—but I get the exact same results.
    Quite frustrating considering it works in iMovie just fine. Any other ideas, folks?

  • Audio is missing when I export longer mp4s from After Effects File via AME. Can you help?

    I’m using After Effects to colour correct and add some titles to long .mov files. (typically 45 mins to 1.5 hours in length).
    I am then rendering out to the Vimeo 720 25 preset (.mp4s with h.264) using AME.
    The problem occurs when I try to render out larger compositions (anything over an hour).
    I start to get audio issues, such as no audio, glitchy audio or audio that only starts after 40 minutes for example.
    The shorter compositions work fine. And RAM previews always work fine.
    (I’m using Creative Cloud on an iMac running Mountain Lion.)
    Has anybody experienced this bug, or know a way to fix it?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I tried to reproduce this issue by adding a shape and a table in Publisher, export it as an index.htm file, copy and paste the HTML code which in the <head>
    tag and <body> tag only.
    It turns out that the original design is gone.
    When digging into the HTML code, I found that the HTML code from Publisher might not be compatible with SharePoint page.
    For example, a shape which is added in Publisher, the corresponding HTML code would be something like:
    <span style='
    width:228px;height:231px'><img alt="shape here" width=228 height=231
    src="index_files/image296.png" v:shapes="_x0000_s1026"></span>
    We can see that, the value “src” attribute of the <img> tag represents a relative path which can’t be found in the existing SharePoint site structure, it means
    that the shape will not appear in SharePoint page.
    In Publisher:
    In SharePoint page:
    As a common practice, I would suggest you create a new HTML file using Visual Studio or SharePoint Designer and examine the design in browser during the development,
    it would be easier to compose a valid and browser-compatible HTML file.

  • Export to FCP from After Effects

    I am exporting an After Effects file to FCP that I have created. What is the best setting in After Effects to get the best picture into FCP. I have been using the DV setting on rending out from AE but When I import in to FCP I get Lines running through the video. I have tried using De-interlace effects on it but it does not seem to help much. Is there a better setting for export from AE to FCP. Any help would be great.

    Depends.
    What is your sequence preset in FCP?
    I'm assuming DV NTSC. I would render to the Apple DV codec so that FCP will play back the clip without rendering. If you are field rendering choose Lower Field First, and if you're field rendering you may also need to be separating the fields on your footage items, also Lower Field First. And of course your comp must be 720x480 29.97fps.
    Unfortunately there are many places where you can screw up the render in AE, not just the render stage. But as long as you do everything right the playback in FCP should be good.

  • Both CS6: Trouble exporting to Premiere from After Effects?

    Hello. I'd like to start off by saying that I am new to the community and new to using this software, so please pardon if I come off as ignorant. However, I need help urgently.
    I am trying to export an After Effects project into Adobe Premiere (using File -> Export -> Adobe Premiere Pro Project). I am coming up with the following error message when I try to open it using Premiere:
    "This project contained a sequence that could not be opened. No sequence preview preset file or codec could be associated with this sequence type".
    I would think that my Premiere preferences would be irrelevant as I cannot even access them unless I have a project opened. However, here are my project settings for After Effects:
    Time Display Style:TimecodeUse Media Source
    Color Settings:
    Depth: 8 bits per channel
    Working Space: none  (could this potentially be the issue?)
    Audio Settings:Sample Rate: 48.000 kHz
    All of the video files used are .mp4.
    I will be willing to rapidly provide more information if necessary. Thanks in advance for helping out.

    Don't export!
    Open your Premiere Pro project, go to File > Adobe Dynamic Link > Import After Effects Compositon. Then navigate to the aep file, select the compositon and it will import the AE link into your pronect bin. Then you can change the file in AE and when you save, the changes will show in PPro. There seems to be a bug with the dynamiclink.exe server that won't show the compositon as rendered on the timeline. I'm hoping Adobe will fix it soon as I've reported it on the bug site.

  • How should i build and export a composition from After Effects to be dropped into a Premiere project

    I've built a project in Premiere which i plan to burn to DVD. It's exporting at 1280x720. Pixel aspect ratio is 1.0. I'm exporting with MPEG2 setting.
    After Effects won't let me make a project with 1.0 pixel aspect ratio, and it isn't letting me use MPEG2... it's giving me this medial 02 error...
    Help!

    Well where should I start? AE will allow you to use square pixels. In fact the 1280 X 720 frame size is the HDV/HDTV 720 P preset and it's square pixels.
    You don't set the compression until you render and, if you want the highest quality, you don't render MPEG formats of any kind using the Render Cue, you export them using the Adobe Media encoder. Where is After Effects telling you you can't use MPEG2??? How are you trying to get there.
    If you are going directly to Premiere Pro (Which only exports or renders using the Adobe Media Encoder) you don't even need to render, you can just import your AE Composition into PPro.
    Secondly, A DVD is not High Def in any form. DVD's are all 720 X 480 pixles (in NTSC countries). The only options are widescreen or normal.
    Please read the sections on Rendering in the help files.

  • How to Create and export motion data from After effects CC to Flash CC

    Hi there ,
    Basically what I've got here is as follows.
    I have a small character animation (about 100x100 px) - that is running inside a screen of 1280x720 px.
    I want to hold the caracter in one position (so that I can get ridd off the useless alpha. i guess i will do that manually by keyframing)
    and also to give a motion data to be used in Flash CC - to assemble the original animation.
    Can anybody help me out with this?

    Yeah, that's one of the reasons that we removed it: no one was using it. And it was terrible.
    Here's more information:
    http://forums.adobe.com/message/5555577
    Of course, if you _do_ want this feature, it's relatively easy to save the project back to After Effects CS6 and then use After Effects CS6 to create an XFL file. Keep in mind that all Creative Cloud subscribers have access to CS6 versions, too.
