**This post will most likely be long and ever growing since it'll serve as a repository of hints, cheats or reminders of useful tools for the use of C4D. **

EXTERNAL COMPOSITING TAG - can be used to establish objects as "nulls" that can be used in After Effects extracted through the CINEWARE plugin from an imported .c4d file.

 
COMPOSITING TAG - used within Cinema to control various behaviors for an object, such as being "seen" by the camera, casts/receives shadows, etc.

 
PROTECTION TAG - useful in "locking" attributes such as position, scale and rotation so that you don't accidentally affect those.
