Alpha Channels From Cinema 4D Into After Effects
Video powered by Metacafe This is a tutorial (my first) on how to take renders fromMaxon Cinema 4D into Adobe After Effects without having to useany green screen, just using Alpha Channel in the Render
Settings.1. First, select any objects that you DON'T want to appear inthe render. Now in the objects menu bar select FILE >> NEW TAG>> COMPOSITING TAG and now in the bottom right you will seethe Tags' properties appear, simply uncheck Seen By Camera. Now do a quick render and you will see it dissappears.2. Go to your Render Settings, select RENDER >> RENDERSETTINGS >> SAVE >> then choose FORMAT >> QUICKTIME MOVIE. Nowwith Quicktime Movie selected the option for Alpha Channelappears, check this to activate Alpha Channel. Now render the file.3. Open After Effects and create a New Composition4. Go to the main menu, FILE >> IMPORT >> FILE and select therendered file. Now it will come up with Interpret Footagewhere it looks at the alpha settings, be default it should be Straight - Unmatted, if not, select this and then click OK.5. Once the footage is in your file library, drag it to yourtimelime to be automatically centred. You can now add layersunderneath it to show that only the objects you left without the Compositing Tag appear over the layer under it.Any questions feel free to ask! Any hints or suggestions to make the tutorial better will be great! Thanks.
