    Hey guys, very simple problem, I’m sure its a newb question but I can’t seem to find the answer on google or any forum (hard to phrase).

    Anyways, I’ve got a Back Ground in C4D which I’ve applied a video file to, which I’m using as a reference to animate some floating titles with a shot I did. (I’m not using 3D motion tracking programs or anything yet just gonna do the 3D in C4D and place the BG in after effects and go from there). I’m just keyframing the first and last frame of the camera and floor and lining it up with the floor of the video, old school.

    However, in C4D, If I hold down my mouse button I can scroll through the the timeline and see the video frame by frame, however when I let go the video in the BG goes back to frame 1, so I cant view the last frame and key frame it properly, anyone know why this is? It’s driving me mental, all I want is to go to the last frame of my timeline and the video in the background is also at it’s last frame!

    no idea, it doesn’t do that normally. What is the format and codec of the movie?
