Adobe recently announced that a new version for After Effects CC would happen soon. There are a host of new additions and features slated for the new version, but one addition may leave you in a pickle if you rely on some C4D Lite presets.
The up and coming version of After Effects will have a new version of C4D Lite bringing it up to parody with C4D R16. As part of the C4D changes, Maxon has made the content browser more functions and it has undergone some changes.
These changes means that many of the presets that were available have been reorganized or made redundant. As a result, a much smaller set of free presets are going to be in store for your when you upgrade your After Effects CC version.
No fear however, Chris and Trish Meyer show you how you can save your C4D Lite presets and use them in the latest version, when the time comes to upgrade. Check out the post for Preparing for Cinema 4D Lite v2.0 -How not to lose your current presets when you upgrade over at provideocoalition.
Adobe pre-announced many of the new features for the next version of After Effects CC 2014 at the just-passed IBC show. One of the big additions will be upgrading Cineware and Cinema 4D Lite – the 3D modeling and animation program that comes bundled with After Effects CC – to version 2.0, based on Maxon’s Cinema 4D R16 (Cinema 4D Lite is based on R14).
This is mostly great news, as this means a ton of new features for us After Effects CC users (see the series of movies Maxon posted on their Cineversity site for R15 and R16). However, some of these updates have obsoleted older features, which in turn means some of the currently provided factory presets for C4D Lite may be lost. Read on to learn how to proactively set these aside so you can still access them when the next update indeed happens.
As part of the feature overhaul in C4D Lite 2.0, it appears that many of the presets have been reorganized or “made redundant” resulting in a much smaller set of goodies available in the new Content Brower, as seen here at left.
