Thanks for the response, it is a .jpg sequence ( of stills ) in a .mov file ( ProRess422LT )

The time lapse .jpg sequence was applied to a plane for accurate compositing, all 3D camera data brought in from After Effects using The Foundry 3D Camera tracker.

As far as “what sampling was used” I’m not familiar with that unfortunately, I am relatively new to C4D.

I found a workaround however,

I render two seperate times using the multipass feature

– One with the background (.jpeg sequence ) so my shadow mulitpass layer will show up in the alpha layer / shadow multipass

– one without the background (.jpg sequence ) to use for compositing

Than I just bring in the shadow pass from the export that had the plane set to render and use that pass to finalize my composite.

I always seem to be missing my shadow multipass layer somehow and they wont show up on my foreground unless I have my background / plane object set to render as well.

Cheers!

In the future I would like to be able to render my .jpg sequence out of cinema 4D and not lose quality or color. ( Just noticed that the color changed as well when I had used my Plane object with my .jpg sequence on the material.
