What's your exact version number of AE CC that you're running?

2. Re: Camera rotation problem when exporting a camera from After Effects CC to Cinema 4D 15
It's 13.2.0.49... I just installed it yesterday.
C4D is R15.008
I'm wondering if I would have the same issue with C4D Lite, but I can't figure out how to open it (I assume it downloaded with AE). Rather than launch Lite, AE seems to automatically find C4D 15 and open that.
I've been using AE and C4D for over 15 years, so I'm quite familiar with both. The bug is odd and quite disappointing, as I bought this version of AE specifically so that I could track footage and export the camera info into C4D.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

That is odd. There were some C4D/AE transfer camera bugs that were fixed by AE updates, but as you're on the latest one, that doesn't help much.
You could certainly try with C4D Lite. You get the R16 version of C4D with the newest version of AE. You would have to change the launch path in the preferences.
Alternatively, you could still use the old transfer plugins from Maxon that let you export AE data to C4D.
Also, you might consider updating your C4D to 15.064. You are missing a lot of bug fixes. (If you upgrade to R16, you get a camera tracker built into C4D!)

Szalam-
Thanks for the help!
I was hoping my upgrade to AE would do it, but sounds like I may have to upgrade C4D as well... which is a shame, as I just recently upgraded. I'll try the launch path first...
Cheers!

Do you just take your camera track directly into C4D or do you work on it in AE first? It's usually recommended to get your ground plane placed and everything adjusted to any camera track before you do any work. (There are tons of tutorials out there for that sort of thing including on VCP, if you're into that sort of thing.)
I can't help but think that would help.
