Now the first time you do this, you'll
现在第一次你这样做，你会
4
00:00:08,200 --> 00:00:11,200
think everything is working exactly the
way you planned
认为一切工作完全你计划的方式
5
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,200
it, but we'll need to explore a little
它，但我们需要探索一点点
6
00:00:13,200 --> 00:00:16,200
more closely what's going on in our
different settings.
更加紧密地发生了什么事情在我们的不同的设置。
7
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:19,200
So that's what we're going to do in this
video.
8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:21,200
We'll actually create a Cinema 4D layer.
9
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,200
And then work on, adjusting the settings,
so our Cinema 4D project,
然后，调整设置，使得我们的Cinema 4D，
10
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,200
lines up precisely with our After Effects
project.
在我们的AE工程文件里面相互对应。
11
00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:30,200
Let's get started.
12
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:35,200
In the project panel you'll see, we have a
composition named comp one.
13
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:40,200
If I press Cmd+K, Ctrl+K on Windows, you
can see we have our composition settings.
14
00:00:40,200 --> 00:00:44,200
And in here, I have a comp that's 1280 by
720, it's square
15
00:00:44,200 --> 00:00:48,200
pixels, and I'm working in a frame rate of
24 frames a second.
16
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,200
The duration is five seconds.
17
00:00:51,200 --> 00:00:55,200
Now in this project, I am going to create
some 3D animated text.
18
00:00:55,200 --> 00:00:59,200
Now before I do that, I need to actually
create my 3D layer.
19
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:03,200
So to do that, I need to actually go up
under the Layer menu.
20
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:06,200
Notice, the new option is grayed out.
21
00:01:06,200 --> 00:01:08,200
You need to make sure you have the
composition panel active.
22
00:01:08,200 --> 00:01:10,200
Or the timeline panel active.
23
00:01:10,200 --> 00:01:13,200
That way when you go up under Layer, After
Effects will
24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,200
know exactly which composition you're
trying to add the new layer to.
25
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:23,200
So now I want to go up under Layer > New.
I can choose Maxon Cinema 4D File.
26
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,200
Now when the save menu pops up, Cinema 4D
is
27
00:01:25,200 --> 00:01:29,200
asking you to specify where to save the
project file.
28
00:01:29,200 --> 00:01:32,200
It's important that you save this project
file in
29
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:35,200
an area that's relative to the After
Effects project.
30
00:01:35,200 --> 00:01:38,200
That way if you need to move things around
you'll know that you need to
31
00:01:38,200 --> 00:01:40,200
move both the Cinema project and the
32
00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,200
After Effects project because After
Effects is going
33
00:01:42,200 --> 00:01:46,200
to be referencing this file.
Let's go ahead and call this warning.
34
00:01:46,200 --> 00:01:49,200
That'll be the name of the text that we're
going to end up creating.
35
00:01:49,200 --> 00:01:55,200
Now when I click save Cinema 4D Lite is
going to go ahead and launch.
36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:01:58,200
Those of you that have a full version of
Cinema 4D installed
37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:03,200
on your computers, will have a full
version of Cinema 4D automatically launch.
38
00:02:03,200 --> 00:02:07,200
Now, in Cinema 4D lite, we need to look at
the project settings.
39
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:08,200
Now, if we look in the lower right
40
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:11,200
hand corner, you'll notice we have an
attributes
41
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:13,200
tab and this is a contextual menu that
42
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:16,200
will change based on whatever we have
selected.
43
00:02:16,200 --> 00:02:20,200
Now since we just created this project,
the default setting is the project panel.
44
00:02:20,200 --> 00:02:23,200
Let's go ahead and make this panel a
little larger
45
00:02:23,200 --> 00:02:25,200
by clicking and dragging on the top part
of the panel.
46
00:02:25,200 --> 00:02:29,200
Notice repositioning is very similar to
47
00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,200
repositioning panels inside of After
Effects.
48
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:32,200
In the project settings,
49
00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:36,200
I have an FPS option and this is frames
per second.
50
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:41,200
By default, it's set up to 30 and this
directly corresponds to the timeline.
51
00:02:41,200 --> 00:02:43,200
The timeline you'll see down here on the
bottom section.
52
00:02:43,200 --> 00:02:47,200
Notice we have 90 frames.
53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:49,200
I know this because the beginning of my
project is
54
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:53,200
frame zero and the end of my project is 90
frames.
55
00:02:53,200 --> 00:02:56,200
So let's start by changing the frame rate
of the project.
56
00:02:56,200 --> 00:02:57,200
I'm going to go over here to the FPS
57
00:02:57,200 --> 00:03:01,200
setting and change that to 24.
58
00:03:01,200 --> 00:03:06,200
Now notice my project Timeline goes from 0
to 72.
59
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,200
Now the Timeline is set up for 24 frames a
second.
60
00:03:09,200 --> 00:03:11,200
We also need to make an adjustment to the
Render settings.
61
00:03:11,200 --> 00:03:13,200
If you go to the top center portion
62
00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:16,200
of the interface, you'll see these three
clapboard buttons.
63
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:20,200
You want to Click the button to the right
that has the sprocket.
64
00:03:20,200 --> 00:03:22,200
When you click on that, that'll open up
your Render settings.
65
00:03:22,200 --> 00:03:29,200
And in here, we want to make sure to
change the Frame Rate to 24.
66
00:03:29,200 --> 00:03:32,200
>> Notice the Preset is set to 800 by
600.
67
00:03:32,200 --> 00:03:35,200
This is the default setting inside of
Cinema 4D Lite.
68
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:40,200
This is set up this way because Cinema 4D
Lite has a maximum resolution of
69
00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:46,200
800 by 600 if you were to actually render
frames directly out of Cinema 4D Lite.
70
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,200
Now, since we are going to be rendering
out of After Effects,
71
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,200
we can actually set this to a higher
resolution.
72
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,200
I want to make sure that my preset
73
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,200
settings match my project settings in
After Effects.
74
00:03:56,200 --> 00:04:00,200
I'm going to click on this arrow
underneath output,
75
00:04:00,200 --> 00:04:03,200
and then we'll go down to film and video.
76
00:04:03,200 --> 00:04:05,200
And from there, lets navigate to the
HDV/HDTV 720 25 setting.
77
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,200
This'll automatically change the height
and width.
78
00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:14,200
Now the framerate was reset to 25
79
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:18,200
for European standards.
Lets go ahead and change this to 24.
80
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:20,200
Now I can go ahead and close my render
settings here.
81
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:23,200
And as soon as I go up under File, I can
say Save.
82
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:27,200
And now my Cinema 4D project has been
saved.
83
00:04:27,200 --> 00:04:30,200
If we jump back into After Effects notice
now
84
00:04:30,200 --> 00:04:33,200
we have a Cinema 4D layer that inhabits
our project.
85
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:39,200
This is very close to exactly what we
want, but notice this ends a little more
86
00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:41,200
quickly than I would have hoped.
87
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:46,200
If we move the current time indicator to
the end of our project, notice we have 119
88
00:04:46,200 --> 00:04:51,200
frames, it's actually 120 frames if you
want a full five seconds.
89
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:57,200
So I'm going to jump back into my Cinema
4D project and just change the end of my
90
00:04:57,200 --> 00:05:04,200
project from 72 To 120.
91
00:05:04,200 --> 00:05:08,200
Now when I go up under File and choose
Save, I can jump back into
92
00:05:08,200 --> 00:05:13,200
After Effects and extend this layer to the
full duration of the five second project.
93
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,200
Now you've made it through the hard part.
94
00:05:15,200 --> 00:05:19,200
We've got all the settings set up between
Cinema 4D and After Effects.
95
00:05:19,200 --> 00:05:21,200
Now we're actually ready to go back
96
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,200
into Cinema and start adding some graphic
elements.
97
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,200
In there, once we save the project, of
course
98
00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:30,200
【更多优秀资源请访问http://c4dsky.com/】
----欢迎加入书生博客交流群：263413188----
we'll see those elements update back into
our After Effects.
