From the course: After Effects Apprentice: 17 Video Walls in Cinema 4D Lite

Using the exercise files

- If you have access to the Exercise Files that came with this course, from inside After Effects, go to File, Open Project, Command or Control O. Navigate to the Exercise Files folder that you downloaded and double click the file AEA17_VideowallC4DLite.aep. It contains a starter composition that already has a simple background layer in place. Some finished copies of our work, if you want to compare your results to ours, and also the sources used by this project. Inside After Effects, use the Workspace Standard. It's a good idea to Reset "Standard," so you have the same starting point of panels that we do. This course can be executed in After Effects CC 2014, 2015 or later. I happen to be using CC 2015 here. If you don't have access to these Exercise Files, it should be pretty easy to follow along. You'll want a piece of high resolution footage to map to the face of your video wall, but other than that, we're going to be creating almost everything you need inside Cinema 4D Light. The only other bit of advice is that we suggest you save your project at the end of each movie, so you can jump back in at any time exactly where you left off.
