Light Transmission and Projection Issues
I am trying to do some 3d movement simulation via light transmission on a photo timelapse I did of an event. The footage is a precomp.
I am trying the basic steps of grid creation, camera and a point light and have done it successfully before. However when I turn off the grid effect and the reference layer I just get white screen in active camera. I’ve checked my material properties and they are set correctly as far as I can tell.pictures attached, any help much appreciated.

Sorry, I’m having a hard time visualizing your issue from your description. Can you go into a little more detail?

Opps sorry about that. Here are the screenshots.

Were you ever able to get this sorted out ? I am having the exact same issue. I have tried in 5 different new compositions in 2 different new projects to see if I was doing something wrong with the exact same result. Nothing but white solids displaying. I tried changing all the light settings too and nothing seems to make a difference.
This is just like a party except there isn’t any music. And there aren’t any woman. And we aren’t having any fun.

I was experiencing the problem with the solids staying white when I moved the camera around, and realized that the issue was my light. In CS6 it has a falloff setting that is not shown in the video. Once I set the falloff to “none” (making the light cast out infinitely far away instead of casting only a specific distance), the problem went away. Hope that’s helpful to someone else out there.

Worked for me too!

can that be because you are trying to project a pre comp image?
I had a similar yet not identical problem, and posted it in this Post:
https://forums.creativecow.net/thread/2/1064295have you tried projecting an image in this settings which is not pre-comped?
just a guess here, might be the problem.. (but not the solution unfortunately).
Ido.
