【----全球视觉创意分享：http://vfxidea.com/----】 【作品只能交流学习，不得用于任何盈利用途！】 Now the first time you do this, you'll
think everything is working exactly the way you planned
it, but we'll need to explore a little
more closely what's going on in our different settings.
So that's what we're going to do in this video.
We'll actually create a Cinema 4D layer.
And then work on, adjusting the settings, so our Cinema 4D project,
lines up precisely with our After Effects project.
Let's get started.
In the project panel you'll see, we have a composition named comp one.
If I press Cmd+K, Ctrl+K on Windows, you can see we have our composition settings.
And in here, I have a comp that's 1280 by 720, it's square
pixels, and I'm working in a frame rate of 24 frames a second.
The duration is five seconds.
Now in this project, I am going to create some 3D animated text.
Now before I do that, I need to actually create my 3D layer.
So to do that, I need to actually go up under the Layer menu.
Notice, the new option is grayed out.
You need to make sure you have the composition panel active.
Or the timeline panel active.
That way when you go up under Layer, After Effects will
know exactly which composition you're trying to add the new layer to.
So now I want to go up under Layer > New. I can choose Maxon Cinema 4D File.
Now when the save menu pops up, Cinema 4D is
asking you to specify where to save the project file.
It's important that you save this project file in
an area that's relative to the After Effects project.
That way if you need to move things around you'll know that you need to
move both the Cinema project and the
After Effects project because After Effects is going
to be referencing this file. Let's go ahead and call this warning.
That'll be the name of the text that we're going to end up creating.
Now when I click save Cinema 4D Lite is going to go ahead and launch.
Those of you that have a full version of Cinema 4D installed
on your computers, will have a full version of Cinema 4D automatically launch.
Now, in Cinema 4D lite, we need to look at the project settings.
Now, if we look in the lower right
hand corner, you'll notice we have an attributes
tab and this is a contextual menu that
will change based on whatever we have selected.
Now since we just created this project, the default setting is the project panel.
Let's go ahead and make this panel a little larger
by clicking and dragging on the top part of the panel.
Notice repositioning is very similar to
repositioning panels inside of After Effects.
In the project settings,
I have an FPS option and this is frames per second.
By default, it's set up to 30 and this directly corresponds to the timeline.
The timeline you'll see down here on the bottom section.
Notice we have 90 frames.
I know this because the beginning of my project is
frame zero and the end of my project is 90 frames.
So let's start by changing the frame rate of the project.
I'm going to go over here to the FPS
setting and change that to 24.
Now notice my project Timeline goes from 0 to 72.
Now the Timeline is set up for 24 frames a second.
We also need to make an adjustment to the Render settings.
If you go to the top center portion
of the interface, you'll see these three clapboard buttons.
You want to Click the button to the right that has the sprocket.
When you click on that, that'll open up your Render settings.
And in here, we want to make sure to change the Frame Rate to 24.
>> Notice the Preset is set to 800 by 600.
This is the default setting inside of Cinema 4D Lite.
This is set up this way because Cinema 4D Lite has a maximum resolution of
800 by 600 if you were to actually render frames directly out of Cinema 4D Lite.
Now, since we are going to be rendering out of After Effects,
we can actually set this to a higher resolution.
I want to make sure that my preset
settings match my project settings in After Effects.
I'm going to click on this arrow underneath output,
and then we'll go down to film and video.
And from there, lets navigate to the HDV/HDTV 720 25 setting.
This'll automatically change the height and width.
Now the framerate was reset to 25
for European standards. Lets go ahead and change this to 24.
Now I can go ahead and close my render settings here.
And as soon as I go up under File, I can say Save.
And now my Cinema 4D project has been saved.
If we jump back into After Effects notice now
we have a Cinema 4D layer that inhabits our project.
This is very close to exactly what we want, but notice this ends a little more
quickly than I would have hoped.
If we move the current time indicator to the end of our project, notice we have 119
frames, it's actually 120 frames if you want a full five seconds.
So I'm going to jump back into my Cinema 4D project and just change the end of my
project from 72 To 120.
Now when I go up under File and choose Save, I can jump back into
After Effects and extend this layer to the full duration of the five second project.
Now you've made it through the hard part.
We've got all the settings set up between Cinema 4D and After Effects.
Now we're actually ready to go back
into Cinema and start adding some graphic elements.
In there, once we save the project, of course
