It means it has already been added to the menu somewhere, but that does not mean you can’t add it again somewhere else. Just click on the grayed out item in the left side list, select where you want it in the menu in the right hand list and click “Add”.

Hello Peter,
I’m wondering why the plugin is greyed out in the edit menu layout? I added the plugin under utilities/plugins/add plugin… Please let me know how to fix this, many thanks!

I have windows 7/ 9.61 win64

Difficult to say right off the bat. I would recommend you give the new LightWave to AfterEffects plugin a go: http://www.liberty3d.com/tools/ae-link-plugin/

If not, it sounds like a field of view mismatch if the movement is just slightly off. I have also heard people having some issues when there is a rotation around the Banking.

Hey Peter! what a great script this looks like, I’ve followed your video to the T, and for some reason I cannot get the same result, my AE scene and my LW scene, seems off, I’m not that experiences in LW, but I rendered a camera going past a cube, and rotates a bit, when I render the scene from LW out, and do all the import and setup in AE, seems like my AE scene is either zoomed out too much, and if I try to match the zoom on the 3D camera, the movement is off.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks in advance,

You install it the same way any other LScript is installed. If it does not work, open up the script in notepad and check if it points to the right version of AfterEffects.

Sorry for the late reply, but I have no idea what that error means. Perhaps you can post about it in the NewTek forums?

Thanks for the suggestion. I tried it, but it doesn’t seem to be a reversal issue. When the LW-camera has Bank values, it seems cause the AE-camera to drift away from the original position (when compared to the render out of lightwave). Removing the Lw Bank values, fixes the drift. Of course, the AE-Bank does not match anymore, but the rest of the values match up perfectly. I’ll just avoid Banking the camera. Thanks. AWESOME script.

Could be that the banking value needs to be reversed, you can open the script in the text editor and play around with the values (multiplying with -1 and what not to reverse it).
