From mamoworld.com, developers of tools and tutorials for Adobe After Effects, comes CINEWARE proxy, which speeds up the workflow with Cinema 4D, recently added to After Effects.
When working with Cinema 4D and AE, in general, there are two options. The first is to render the files in Cinema 4D and then import them into After Effects, and the second is to use the new 3D render line to render C4D projects as layers within AE. While the latter option might be the most convenient, it can also be quite time consuming when dealing with complex projects.
It is precisely to solve this dilemma that CINEWARE proxy has been created, a combination of both options that gets the best of each by quickly switching between online 3D files and their rendered proxies.
For example, you could start working with the online files while the background proxies are being rendered (background rendering). Once the processing is complete (multi-step rendering is supported), you switch to the proxies and all modifications (effects, masks, etc.) will remain intact.
*For background rendering support the additional tool BG Renderer is required.
CINEWARE proxy also allows you to use proxy files that have already been created. It is not necessary to find and select each of them manually, but you mark the first one and all the others are found automatically. Over time, the software remembers the user’s habits and “learns” where to look for the files.
This is the video presentation of CINEWARE proxy, made by mamoworld.com:
I also leave you an extensive tutorial on the use of CINEWARE proxy and After Effects CC:
