Adobe After Effects zooms out on my project

[Yoshi24517]

I have a question about AE.

I'm trying to make a Youtube Intro.

The intro is supposed to look like this: FREE Energy Burst Intro Template! - YouTube.​ It also came with backgrounds I was supposed to add.

I have this: Intro Test - YouTube (With my username in there.) Notice how it is zoomed out and there is a small box around the intro in the first second in the video.

I exported a PNG Sequence from Cinema 4D, added the backgrounds, and came up with that.^^^ (My Youtube Video.)

My question: The thing is, the backgrounds expanded out of that box, and now my intro is zoomed out. How do I fix the backgrounds so they stay inside that "box" that you see in my intro test?

I can provide an individual frame if you'd like. Let me know. Thanks!

I'm using After Effects CC 2017 and Cinema 4D Version R18.048.

Oh I figured out my mistake. I'm using the trial version of C4D. I can only render to 800 x 450, not 1920 x 1080. That explains it. I need to buy the software to remove that restriction.

How do I render the C4D to 1920x1080 instead of 800x450?

All I know is that the version of C4D that comes with a After Effects is only accessible from inside After Effects. It's not a stand alone application.   I can't really give you any help on how to use it or how to fix your template.

I was just letting you know that you know that it's on your computer if you have After Effects.

You're going to have to figure out how to use it for your template.

I gave you the link to the help which has links to video tutorials

& a proper search on Youtube will probably return some results as well.
