    i am making an object to composite over a video bg i have. what is the way to import piece of video and have it fill full frame the bg. do i have to eyeball it and only see it in AE?

    thanks

    You can make the video a background in Cinema 4D….

    then take into after effects and refine the position…

    Probably the best way is to load it into the color channel of a material and place the material on the Background Object. You are better off using a frame sequence rather than a .mov or .avi, as editor performance is *much* better. After you load the first frame (or movie file), click on the file name/button in the color channel and then click on the animation tab. There you can set the start/end/framerate and hit “calculate”.

    what is the worklow people use to match a c4d element realistically into a video plate so that it has realistic focal length and rotation of the object. im imagining putting the vid bg on a surface and if i move the camera around, it will move also. ideally i would like the bg plate locked to be full frame in the bg of whats in my 3d c4d world.

    does this make any sense
