A

It’s a command plugin—run it from Extensions Motion Manager, or search via the command search / Command Palette. The dialog is non-modal, so it can stay open while you animate.

A

Confirm the plugin folder is placed directly under your Cinema 4D plugins/ folder (not nested one level deeper), then restart Cinema 4D.

A
  • Make sure the Timeline is open and Cinema 4D is in Automatic Mode.
  • Motion Manager expects exactly one Timeline window—having two Timeline windows open can prevent key detection.
A

Switch the Timeline to Automatic Mode before using key tools (Get/Set, Align, Scale, Clean).

A

In F-Curve-style selection, the track itself may also need to be selected in the timeline hierarchy—not just the key.

A

If your timeline is set to “Only OM Selection”, tracks whose objects are not selected in the Object Manager can be skipped.

A

Get Ease reads only the first key group it finds, even if multiple curves have selections. If you need a specific curve, deselect other curves first.

A

Avoid it. Get Ease expects a non-zero time span; select at least two keys with different times.

A

If the selected keys are flat (no value change), Get Ease may exit without feedback.

A

Typically no. Set can remove keys strictly between each targeted pair so the segment matches the template.

A

Set applies the template to each adjacent pair (key1→key2, key2→key3, …). Because each pair can clean interior keys, overlapping segments can interact—expect best results when selecting the specific endpoints you intend to shape.

A

The template must have a non-zero vertical range (first and last knot Y must differ). A flat template results in no change and no log entry.

A

On first run, Motion Manager creates writable files under Cinema 4D’s startup write path: {GeGetStartupWritePath()}/plugins/Motion Manager/.

A

It restores the three preset JSON files (Ease/Bounce/Elastic) but does not overwrite your apply history log.

A

Successful applies (Set) are recorded so you can restore the last-used curve/parameters into the editor later.

A

Re-applying the same mode with identical data can merge into the newest entry and increment an apply counter.

A

Use the dialog menu Language → English / 日本語. The dialog will close and reopen to rebuild labels.
