    Not enough info (or a file to check) so I have to guess it’s because you have Alpha turned on and it’s showing you the transparency plus alpha when saved. If that’s not it we’d have to see more info.

    Sorry for this.

    I have absolutely default settings in cinema 4d. Yeah, I have alpha turned on

    C4D doesn’t show you alpha in the render so you see what it should look like on the background in C4D but when exporting to another program for compositing alpha is used with transparency because it gives the proper look when you place the render on a different back ground. With only transparency it looks wrong.
    So if you are going to composite this keep the alpha but if not then don’t use it because you don’t really need it.
