Cinema 4D real-time linkage with After Effects plugin

📄 Description:

This tool provides an efficient and automated workflow for importing rendered outputs from Cinema 4D into Adobe After Effects. It intelligently scans image sequences, multi-pass channels, and preview videos from your C4D render output directory, categorizes related files, and generates a ready-to-run JSX script for streamlined import into AE.

Ideal for motion designers, VFX artists, and animation professionals, this script helps eliminate manual file sorting, ensures proper layer arrangement, and reduces the time needed to prepare render assets in After Effects.
