Re: C4D into AE problems

I had the same problem and just started deleting objects one by one until I could get it to import. What worked was deleting all the lights. It could have been a specific light, but I didn't bother to check it out since I didn't need the lights in the AE project

You could put dummy objects where the lights are, delete the lights then recreate the lights in After Effects using the coordinates of the dummy objects.
