Setting up the projects
The first thing we need to do is make sure that After Effects and Cinema 4D Lite are on the same page when it comes to project and composition settings. Whenever you create a Cinema 4D Lite composition in After Effects you will need to go to the After Effects project settings change the working space from its default of None to SRGB, that's the default that Cinema uses, and enable linearized working space. This is a different way of blending colors that better reflects the way that our eyes actually work compared to the way the computer's preferred to work. Again, these settings are the defaults in Cinema 4D Lite. You need to set them inside After Effects for your project. Then, in your After Effects composition, you need to open up its settings, make sure you have the dimensions and the frame right as well as the duration.
