Exporting a camera from Cinema 4D to After Effects allows you to transfer the camera’s position, orientation, and animation to After Effects. This is useful for compositing 3D elements into 2D footage or for creating complex camera movements in After Effects.The process of exporting a camera from Cinema 4D to After Effects is relatively simple. First, select the camera you want to export in Cinema 4D. Then, go to the File menu and select Export > After Effects Camera. In the Export After Effects Camera dialog box, select the desired export settings and click OK. The exported camera will be saved as an .aec file. You can then import the .aec file into After Effects by going to the File menu and selecting Import > File. In the Import File dialog box, select the .aec file and click OK. The imported camera will appear in the After Effects project panel. You can then use the camera to create camera animations or to composite 3D elements into 2D footage.
1. Selection
When exporting a camera from Cinema 4D to After Effects, selecting the appropriate camera is crucial because it directly influences the resulting camera movement in After Effects. The selected camera’s position, orientation, and animation determine the perspective and motion of the exported camera in After Effects.
