Did you follow the instructions in the user guide for removing Cinema 4D?  Some things can be removed, others cannot.

The Maxon Cineware plug-in is an intergrated part of After Effects while Maxon Cinema 4D Lite is a separate application included with After Effects for working with real 3D as opposed to 2D layers with 3D parameters (often referred to as 2.5D).

Hi cash earl,

Welcome to the community.

As the expert suggested, Cinema 4d Lite is integrated with After Effects. Removing the files may cause After Effects to not function properly. I'd recommend reinstalling After Effects to get rid of the error.

Hope it helps.

Thanks,

Nishu
