    Gudday,

    OK, this is a big question but I’m hoping y’all can help. I’ll break it into three pieces to make it easier. I’m using C4D R10.111

    1. I need to import a green screen video as a material to create the effect of my actor sitting inside a C4D truck. (I’ve imported green screen stills before without trouble so I figure it can’t be much different?)

    2. I need to match a camera move to the length of the video animation.

    3.I’ll then need to export it to Adobe Premiere / After Effects for some more work.

    Any help you can offer would be GREATLY appreciated.

    okay 🙂

    1.
    you can easily import quicktime as material, not sure is you can use image sequences (for me foto-jpg codec works nice for playback)

    2.
    in the animation tab you can set the framerate and lenght to get perfect fitting.
    2a.
    for the camera move, if its simple you can try to recreate the original move with keyframes. if not, matchmoving software like syntheyes, boujou, or pf track are able to perform that, but they are most time expensive and complicated.

    3.
    for exporting use image sequences or quicktime , on window maybe avi make sense, but i am not experienced with avi.

    hope that helps.
