…All right.…As you can see we're starting with a blank After Effects project.…But before we import anything,…we need to make sure that we have the Cinema 4D Importer installed.…And to do that, on my Mac, I'm going to jump to the Finder.…Obviously in Windows you want to go to your File Explorer.…Within the Finder you want to navigate to two different folders.…The first one, you want to go to the After Effects folder.…So, on my computer, it's under Macintosh Hard Drive in the Applications folder.…Under Adobe After Effects CC 2014.…I just want to make sure that I can actually see the Plug-ins folder.…
Now, go ahead and navigate to your Applications folder again.…but this time I want you to go to the MAXON folder.…In there, you want to make sure that you're in CINEMA 4D R16.…When you open that folder, you'll notice that there are several different…folders in addition to the actual application itself.…The folder I want you to open is called Exchange Plugins.…If you open that folder, in there you'll see an aftereffects folder.…
