Can't Export to cinema 4D

[matthew_bowp77817339]

Hi everyone,

I’m busy trying to export a 3D camera and solid to cinema 4D to create some 3D text. I have done this loads of times and now i keep getting an error message that says

“ Unable to execute script at line 1. Expected: ) “

As i said, this is something i have done plenty of times before. I updated my Mac to the latest OS sierra about a month ago and i’m not sure if that might be causing an issue? I have also found something on the forums about closing the library window to fix an issue like this with no luck.

Personally i do not know much about scripts and have posted the error message for help on the forum before with no help or answer. I have also tried to chat with adobe support and just get sent the forum links every time.

I’m starting to panic as i really need to get this text to a client.

I’m working on a

MacBook Pro ( Retina, 13-inch, Mid 2014 )

Processor 2.6 Ghz intel Core i5

Memory 8 GB 1600 Mhz DDR3

Graphics Intel Iris 1536 MB

It’s far from a beast but gets the job done.

I think this is something that occurs in Premiere and After Effects in the latest versions of mac OS when the Library Panel is open. Close the Library panel before exporting the Camera Tracker to Cinema 4D. Tellus if this works for you.

Hi Jose,

Still no luck.

[Jose Panadero]

Have you upate AE to the latest version? What version are you using?

[matthew_bowp77817339]

Yup, Updated AE and then the OS.

Try to delete the prefs then. As soon as you launch After Effects, hold Command+Option (Alt)+Shift. You will be prompet to delete the After Effects preferences file, click YES. Then open your project and try to export again.

If this shortcut doesn't work for you, you can download Preference Manager from Digital Rebellion (for free). This app let you to remove preferences for a lot of Video Apps on Mac Os.

I've found the problem. Delete the " symbol in the name of the composition. That is the problem.
