  • I get a black screen when trying to render a motion tracking project.

    Posted by Patrick Woodro on November 10, 2015 at 7:37 pm

    Hi Im learning motion tracking with cinema 4d and got great results practicing. The problem I have is that I cant render my creation correctly. Whenever I render the background footage turns black and all I see is the object that I brought into the scene. I first thought it was because of the sketch and toon effect, but when I checked the settings, background was set to off. Even if I removed the effect completely the results are the same. I have uploaded screen shots of my settings. Can anyone help explain how to remove the black background and show the actual footage. Thank you
