  • Image sequence won’t playback on the timeline C4d lite

    Posted by Manu Dre on December 3, 2014 at 2:15 pm

    I’m trying to work in C4D Lite in conjunction with AE for the first time and I’ve exported a tiff sequence to load as a background in C4D.
    I load as a text to a material and add to the background object but it won’t playback. It just shows my first frame all the way through. Now if i go to the work area trimmer and click the up arrow frame by frame,it previews the sequence.
    It’s just a fixed tripod shot that i want to add an animated 3d model on it. So I’ve just put a camera in the AE comp and created the project.
    By the way I found a thread with (so it seems) the same issue,and they say that the sequence must be loaded from the projects tex folder to work. I’ve done that but the problem persists.
    I don’t know what to do. Please help. I’ve got two days to complete this project.

    Thanks a lot.

    Select the material and check the “animate preview” box in the material’s Editor tab.
