Help!
I know there are threats about this topic, but none which helps me
When I try to open the aec file in AE cs3, created i cinema, nothing happens!
I´ve downloaded the newest plug in on MAXON site
I know the aec file is ok, since I can open it on other computers
I have the latest upgrade for cs3

Inside the MAXON folder on your HD, navigate to the Exchange Plugins folder. Inside there is an After Effects folder. Inside the After Effects folder, there are folders that will say mac 5.0, pc 5.0, etc.
Choose the one most appropriate to your OS and AE version. I think 6.5 is the highest so if you're running 6.5 or above choose that one. Inside that folder is a plugin (you may have to unzip it). Copy that plugin to your After Effects plugin folder. Now you should be able to import the .aec files directly into AE.

Thanks for the response!
But that is not the problem, I have copied the exchange plugin in to the AE plugin folder …in fact I have downloaded MAXON newest version since i´m running CS3 …

Thanks Bill. I followed Bill Kelly's steps (2nd thread in this post) and I'm now able to import C4D project into AE.
I'm using AE CS4, but the CS3 plugin works fine.

Arrrgh. Ok. I've followed the instructions and copied the "cinema4DAE" into my AE plugins folder. Infact, I wasn't sure which subfolder to put it in so i put it in EACH subfolder plus the plug-ins root. I've rebooted, restarted, and it still doesn't seem to want to accept my AEC file. Any help?

try to put the C4D plugin in the following Directory
Mac OS/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-ins/CS3
For some reason my plugins are working in that directory and not in the standard directory...
hope it helps!

tried all of the above and still nothing - AE even says on the top right box its loading the file but still nothing. I've tried reinstalling C4D and AE CS3 & CS4 and still nothing. So frustrating!!!
