  • C4D TIFF Sequence & AE Render Question

    Posted by Oscar Scott on September 12, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    Hey All
    OK working on a 10 sec advert for Broadcast PAL which I’m making in C4D then importing into AE. Problem is I’ve never produced 3d content for broadcast before only AE work… lol yep i know big problem.

    K here’s what I’m not sure about:

    C4D Tiff sequence render settings for import into an after effects – PAL Square pixel 1024×576 comp? Then I’m droppin that into a 720×576 PAL d1/dv widescreen comp for transfer. Do i need to render a tiff sequence with fields for final output to transfer? (I always render with no fields when working with images)

    Any help on this would be greatly appreciated

    Cheers
    Oscar

    Thanks Dave

    K No fields rendering tiff seq, great.

    I check all my work on a program called scopebox, monitors really old but gets the job done : )

    Thanks again Dave

    You only need to render field in AE if those conditions are met together :

    1. you rendered your 3D sequence as interlaced
    2. you make some geometric transforms.

    In your case, you can’t meet those 2 conditions, because even with interlaced 3D render, you’re just doing horizontal rescaling. Horizontal scaling only moves pixels from a line onto same line, without changing what would belong to one field to the other.
    But with interlaced 3D render, as soon as move/scale Y axis, or rotate (any axis), you have to render field, so what’s from one field still belongs to the same resulting field…

    Hey David

    Yeah I understand that makes sense. I’m not rendering with fields from C4D but if i did and disrupted the field order in AE then i would have to render out with fields.

    Thanks for your help David

    Cheers
