Anyone here ever exported a 3D scene from cinema 4D to After FX?

More specificly with compositing tags on objects so i can stick footage on moving 3D screens in After FX.

Im on my third go at this. Ive got a 1 minute sequence which takes around 48 hours to render.

First attempt i tried to cut corners by making the sequnece shorter but it didnt work with the rest of the footage i was using.

Second attempt was all looking realy good but this time the object i had given a compositing tag decided to edn up in a random place and not be animated properly upon import to after fx so ive had to try a third time.

third time lucky, currently rendering the scene again and everything looks great in cinema 4d, fingers crossed the compositing tag object behaves itself as its the most crucial piece of the whole sequence. i need it to perform as it does in cinema 4d so i can stick my footage on it in after fx.

Anyone else tried this before and did you find any problems? Ive got it to work with a ruff edit of the sequence lovely but must have adjusted something and made it tempremental when finalising the scene.

im using cinema 4d R13 and After FX cs5.

haha the gorilla is a legend. basicly the tutorial i already followed. thing is as i said it worked the first time but that was a rough draft so to speak, the main work got screwed up somehow so hopefully this time it all comes out right.
