Cinema 4D Lite

from the export menu in AAF, line with Maxon are disabled, when i',m choose from applications "Cinema 4D Lite" its not opening ..

I don't understand the question. Please provide more detail so we can try to figure out what you're saying.
What version of After Effects do you have? (It should start with a 12.x or 13.x)
If you are having trouble with using Cinema 4D Lite, you should follow these tutorials: details of CINEMA 4D integration with After Effects

Cinema 4d Lite Text Disappearing

Hi,
All of a sudden my text in Cinema 4D Lite is disappearing. I enter text, make the text a child of the extrude object then place the extrude object with text child into the Fracture Object. Once in the Fracture object the text disappears. I still have the directional arrows for the text, but no text. This has worked on several other text animations I have made, but now will not work.
Anyone have any ideas on what is going wrong?
Thanks,
George

Perhaps something to do with the font and the Fracture object not being able to produce clean internal mesh separations. Impossible to know without more info and screenshots of your scene and settings.

Does cinema 4d lite work without cinema 4d

If I get the Creative Cloud subscription, because I only have CS.6 right now, does Cinema 4d Lite work in After Effects without the whole Cinema 4d program?

Cinema 4D Lite is a full application and does not rely on previously installed Cinema 4D applications.

Cinema 4d Lite Does Not Load

Hi,
I can't seem to get Cinema 4d Lite to start. Has anyone had this issue? I click the app. It then appears in my dock then disappears after a few moments.
I am on a mac running os x 10.8.4 and have an nvidia 9400M gpu.
Any help is appreciated.

Never mind. In After effects I need to go to File->Maxon Cinema Maxon Cinema 4d File.
I was using my mac's Finder to launch the cinema 4d lite app. That's the wrong way.

AI CC: Import *.AI to Cinema 4D Lite?

Hey guys, have an Illustrator document that I would like to import to Cinema 4D Lite. Launched After Effects and opened a C4D project, dragging the .AI file and C4D says 'Unknown File Format'. What file format should Illustrator Documents be saved to to import into C4D?

The guy obviously uses AI version 8
And: what's in your file? Just basic paths?
Monika I watched that very tutorial before I posted. Tried EPS Rev 3, EPS Rev 8, EPS Rev 17. Document is a single layer Video and Film resolution with a no Fill Stroke pattern.

Is Cinema 4D Lite R14 limited to 800 x 600 render resolution even after activation/registration?

I created a new Cinema 4D scene from within After Effects and discovered that I couldn't make the output resolution larger than 800 x 600. In the rende settings window I get the message:
"Image Resolution: 800 x 600 Pixel - Application license limit of 800x600 pixel"
I realized I hadn't activated/registered yet, so I completed that process but I still get the limitation.
I tried:
Closing C4D and AE, restarting, opening the original .c4d I created before I registered;
Restarting the computer, then reopening the original .c4d in After Effects;
Deleting the original .c4d and creating a new one from After Effects
I still get the output resolution limitation.
I searched for documentation about the limit but didn't find any that referred to C4D Lite, only other demo versions (which had a smaller limit).
Is that a hard limit for C4D Lite R14? Or should I keep banging my head against it?
I tried contacting Maxon from the support email form on their site, but it rejects my serial number (the form asks for the first 11 digits, which includes a hyphen. I tried with the hyphen and it was rejected, I removed the hyphen and aded the next digit to total 11 and it rejected it... it
's like they don't want to hear from me. There's also no selection for the "Lite" version of the program.)

You can't render larger from C4D Lite, but your AE comp (with the C4D scene) should be able to be whatever size you want. AE renders your C4D scene; you don't render from C4D.

Cinema 4d Lite not recognizing mouse clicks?

Hello everyone. I've been working on a project in After Effects CC and was reading about the integration of Maxon Cinema 4d Lite. I wanted to try to make my 2D diamond into a 3D model and it seemed the perfect application to do so. Unfortunately, whenever I open the program (I've tried through File - New - Maxon Cinema File...and Layer - New - Maxon Cinema File... and even once a file is technically created, I've tried going to "edit original". I've also tried to export something else as a Maxon Cinema file and then importing it to see if it would work), it doesn't work.
Basically, since try #1 the program doesn't seem to be recognizing my mouse clicks. As soon as I click on a menu it goes away. I can hold down the mouse button, but then I can't choose anything on the menu. I've done all the updates on all software, restarted, shut down, cleaned cache, etc. etc. There was one thing that worked, but it only worked for a mouse click at a time! I found that if I found the application file within my program files (C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe After Effects CC\Support Files\Plug-ins\MAXON CINEWARE AE\(CINEWARE Support)\lite)....if I have Cinema 4d open, and I double click on the .exe file like I'm trying to launch the program, then the program will recognize one mouse click. But if I try to do anything else, it doesn't respond. I could do this all day and night to get my project done but there's GOT to be an easier way!
If anyone has any suggestions, I would gladly give them a try!
Oh, and I'm on a Windows 8.1 64bit computer. If there are any details I didn't include that would be helpful, please let me know. Thank you!

Thank you Mylenium. I wasn't sure what details to provide, but I'll do my best to cover everything you asked about.
As far as the computer, my PC is running Windows 8.1 Pro (64-bit). The hardware is as follows:
     Processor: AMD FX8120 (8-core, 3.10GHz)
     Graphics: NVIDIA GeForce GTX550 Ti
     Input Device: Wacom Intuos3 Tablet (using provided mouse, not pen while using C4D)
     Memory: 16 GB usable (have 32 installed but haven't spent the time to figure out how to get it all to work with Windows 8)
     Screen Resolution: on Monitor #1 (HDMI) and Monitor #2 (Analog) it is set to the recommended 1920 x 1080
I managed to be able to get in to the Preferences within C4d somehow and these are the things I thought might be pertinent:
     OpenGL settings: it IS turned ON (Linear, Anti-Alias = 4, Max transparency = 2, Max Lights = 8, Max Shadows = 2, and Use Shader Cache is checked)
     Memory settings: the cache is defaulted to the C drive. I set my cache in AE to the B drive, which I would prefer but I C4d won't let me change this at the moment)
     Input Devices: PSR Cursor = False, Tool Cursor = true, Mouse Move Activation = True, Graphics Tablet = False, Hi-Res Tablet = True, Open Commander Dialog on Mouse Position = True
I'm thinking the fact that the Graphics tablet is unchecked in C4d might be the issue? I can try to change it with the trick I originally mentioned, but let me know if there is anything else you see that you think might help. Did I miss anything? I really appreciate it! Thank you.

Cinema 4d Lite crashes in AE CC, Windows

Whenever I try to use Cinema 4d Lite, I can get to the application, but cannot make any changes without crashing. I have tried either creating a file using File>New>Maxon Cinema 4d file, or creating a 3d comp in AE, exporting to Cinema 4d Lite, importing it, and going to Edit>Edit original. For example, when I create a new Cinema 4d file, if I try to create a rectangle, I see the rectangle appear, but then the application is frozen (spinning teal circle forever). If I try to edit original file, the Cinema 4d application opens, but it is frozen.
I am on Windows 7 Professional, on an HP Z800 Workstation with 40 GB RAM, 64 bit Operating System. NVIDIA Quadro 4000 graphics card.

Thanks for your answer. However, I checked my Open GL capabilities and got this readout:It looks like Open GL should be working.

Cinema 4d Lite won't open on Mac

Anyone else having this issue? From After Effects CC. It's never started up, and closes as soon as I try to open it.

I'm also having this same issue. It has never launched for me either and I started trying about 2 months ago and have been updating regularly and checking to see if a fix was applied but it still fails to launch.
What version of After Effects? Include the minor version number (e.g., After Effects CS5.5 with the 10.5.1 update). Don't just say "After Effects with the latest updates"; give the specific version number. 12.0.0404
Have you installed the recent updates? (If not, you should. They fix a lot of problems.) Yes
What operating system? This should include specific minor version numbers, like "Mac OSX v10.6.8"---not just "Mac". 10.8.4
Tell us about your computer hardware. Include CPU type and number of processor cores, amount of RAM installed, GPU, number of disk drives, and how any external drives are connected. Macbook Retina, 2.8 GHz i7, 16GB 1600MHz DDR3, 500GB SATA HDD, NVIDIA GeForce GT 650M 1024 MB
Do you have any third-party I/O hardware (e.g., AJA, Matrox, Blackmagic, MOTU)? No
What kind(s) of source footage? When telling about your source footage, tell us about the codecs, not just the container types. For example, "H.264 in a .mov container", not just "QuickTime". N/A
If you are getting error message(s), what is the full text of the error message(s)?N/A
What were you doing when the problem occurred? Trying to launch the program, with all other programs closed. Also tried w/ AE running.
Has this ever worked before? If this worked before by doesn't work now, what has changed on your computer in the intervening time? No
Do you have QuickTime installed. (You should.) If so, what version? The answer should be specific, such as "QuickTime 7.6.2". Quicktime Player 10.2
What other software are you running? None
Do you have any third-party effects or codecs installed? No
Are you using OpenGL features in After Effects? N/A
Does the problem only happen with your final output, RAM preview, or both? N/A
Are you using Render Multiple Frames Simultaneously multiprocessing? N/A
What is the exact sequence of steps that you are taking? Open Finder, Select "Applications", Drill down through AE folder to Cinema 4D Lite application and doubleclick. Icon pops/bounces on task bar for a moment then goes away.

After effects CC ne veut pas lancer cinema 4D lite, j'obtiens ce message d'erreur "Aucune installation de cinema 4D n'a été trouvée"

Bonjour,
After effects CC ne veut pas lancer cinema 4D lite, j'obtiens ce message d'erreur "Aucune installation de cinema 4D n'a été trouvée"
Dans les options les chemins des fichiers exe sont pourtant les bons.
Que faire ?
Merci !
Guillaume

Hello
I have the 13.2.0.49 version after effects CC 2014.
The exe path are correct in the preferences.
And I'lm working with Windows 7 SP1
I have done a 3D form layer and exported it as a maxon cinema 4D module (.c4d)
Then I import the c4d file in my composition. All is okay.
But when I try to modify it with cinema 4D, it does'nt work. (I use the edit menu and do "modify original")
I've got this message : "Aucune installation de cinema 4D n'a été trouvée" (no install of cinema 4D found)
I have verified the exe path, they are both correct in the preferences.
Do you have an idea ?
Thank you !
Guillaume

Rendering Error from Cinema 4d Lite

While trying to render a scene in after effects that i created in cinema 4d of a bar (bear in mind, bars have lots of transparent glass and liquids in them) i get the 'unable to write file' render error. in cinema 4d lite, in my render settings, when i turn off transparency, refraction, reflection, and shadows, the render works. what should i do in order to render in after effects and keep all of my transparency, refraction, reflection, and shadow detail?

REnder to an image sequence. Your Quicktime connection is simply timing out because it takes too long to render a frame. No serious 3D artist would ever render to clip formats directly, anyway.

Does Cinema 4D Lite support importing FBX files?

I've tried every FBX file I could, I've exported FBX files using every version of FBX available to me (2010, 2012, 2013, 2014) but every time I try to import an FBX file into Cinema 4D Lite (launched from AE CC, everything updated and current) I get a dialog with some options, then a second dialog with information about the available takes and animation length (which is must get from the file) and then I get an error message "Unable to read file <filename>". Doesn't seem to matter what FBX I choose. Every FBX file is readable by Autodesk's FBX Review app so I don't think it's the file(s). Maxon's website seems to indicate that importing FBX was supported by the Lite version of Cinema 4D included with AE CC, but near as I can tell that's not true. Am I missing something? Is there some option I need to check or a specific way I should create an FBX file? I'm running on Windows 7 64bit with current drivers and everything is updated. I get the feeling this just doesn't work at all by design.

I've tried FBX files created from Motionbuilder 7, DAZ Studio, Lightwave 11.6 and some purchased FBX files (that I think were made in 3DS Max). If the FBX file has anything complex Cinema 4D Lite will give the cryptic read error. It definitely seems to come down to what is in the file. If I put almost nothing into the file (simple textured obj) I have gotten it to read into Cinema 4D. But some even fairly simple primitives will cause the error. It's not so much the version of FBX file format but what is in it. Having the ability to use FBX as a 3D file format in After Effects is very appealing, but Cinema 4D Lite doesn't appear to be a solution to that. Perhaps the full version of Cinema 4D can read a wider range of FBX files, since the read error is definitely related to the content and not just the FBX version, but the Lite version errors out on pretty much anything worth reading.

I didn't get Cinema 4D lite with my AE CC

Hello,
When i got Adobe CC a month ago and installed AE CC i didn't get Cinema 4D lite with it. I Have Cineware but when i click on Cineware it just tells me that there's no cinema 4d lite program to open. I was wondering if anyone else had the problem. And also if any of you guys got a solution. I might have missed something or something.
I have a Lenovo e540 windows 8.1, 8gb ram, i7-4702MQ 2,2 GHz
Adobe CC is also saying that the software is updated.
Also i'm from Sweden and i'm also a student who registered as a student. Does that have to do with anything maybe?
All help is appreciated.
Happy new year!

Taverino, thanks, that was it! I think my problem was that i expected to be able to use cinema 4d lite with out going through after effects. But thanks! I got it to open. I should have read a bit more about it, before hand.

Can't access cinema 4d lite within AE 6 CC

I have version AE 6 CC but I am not able to access Cinema 4D lite. I just updated the program, and it still not working.

It is not clear what you mean by 'AE 6 CC'.
Cinema 4D Lite is included with After Effects CC (12.0) and later.
Details are here:

How do I update my cinema 4D lite to one higher than 11.5? Can I?

I have cinema 4d lite 11.5 that came bundled with the AE installer, but have since updated AE and cinema 4d has not. When I try and open the C4D file in AE it says I need higher than 11.5 c4d lite. Any idea?

I've tried updating AE, but it just updates AE and does not update cinema 4d. Does that make sense?
No.
Look at some tutorials for using AE with Cineware. http://greyscalegorilla.com/cineware
