Cineware with Adobe After Effects

Schematic representation of the relationship between Cinema 4D and Adobe After Effects.

Cinema 4D provides several interfaces and features for working with Adobe After Effects:

• The file paths to the render settings created in Cinema 4D can be saved in an After Effects compressed file (.aec). This, for example, automates the loading of multi-passes into an After Effects composition. In addition, 3D files for object position, color surfaces, light sources and cameras can be passed to After Effects.
• Via Cineware technology, Adobe After Effects is extended to the extent that a native Cinema 4D file can be created, loaded and rendered there itself. This can greatly simplify the editing of compositions in many cases since cameras, for example, can be manipulated directly in After Effects.
