What is AEC file?

The AEC file extension is used for Cinema 4D After Effects Composition files. It is a native file format used by both Cinema 4D (C4D) and Adobe After Effects (AE). It enables users to transfer 3D scenes and compositions between the two programs with ease and accuracy. An AEC file contains all of the necessary data for a single After Effects composition, including 3D layers, lights, cameras, effects, plug-ins, blend modes, layer styles and cinema 4D assets.

How to convert the file from DLF to AEC?

To successfully convert the DLF file to AEC, you should install one of the applications from the list. After installing the software, open the program and select the file you want to convert (file-name.DLF). The next step is to select the target format from the list, in this case AEC (usually converters allow you to convert to several different formats, so check out their features - maybe one of the available formats will suit you more than AEC).

What is a file conversion?

A data conversion is normally an automated process to some extent. The effect of the operation of one program is automatically the input product of another application. If that does not happen we need to help the process a little bit and convert the file on our own, e.g. DLF to AEC. To obtain a matched structure of the data, it is necessary to use an appropriate converter.

Program for converting DLF files to AEC files is a kind of a "binary code translator" compensating for the differences in the code or translating it in such a way so that another application could use it. For us, as users, the visible change will be only another file extension. (After converting the file, it will be the extension AEC, while before this step we had the DLF file). For the programs, the difference is on a much higher level – either the application will be able to open a new AEC file, or not.
