Hi schnoidl,
I have tested it here with Cinema 4D 2023.1 and AfterEffects.
Yes, I get that if I have an older plug-in installed. Using the newest that is supplied with the 2023.1 version, I have no problems. I tested Ae 22 and Ae 23.
The output setting is set to all frames, and 3D is also checked (these are the two things, besides the plug-in, that have caused problems in the past.
Example with 3 Nulls, three lights, and a camera. The camera, plus one null and one light, is animated. This should indicate if it is on the Cinema 4D side or in Ae.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/asjc1vczhy5yc10/CV4_2023_drs_23_AEec_01.aec.zip?dl=0Workaround: save the whole scene (or create a new one with just these settings and items) and save it as Cineware, then extract those from Cineware in Ae.
Other than that, I can only suggest Tech Support. But I assume that is something that requires an update.
