Are you letting it render the frame? Is your screen render set to full?
Did you create the graphics in AE?
Sometimes when I move the camera (or anything for that matter) it takes a bit to re-generate the images. If I don’t have it set to full then it won’t render the screen fully.
Text graphics built in AE are vector graphics so they SHOULD stay crisp.

Ugh.

I meant multiplymode… and no… precomping didn’t seem to work either.

What do you need it to do in AE? Do you need an Alpha Channel? What is AE telling you that you came to the conclusion that you cannot open it in AE? There are a few really good posts on rendering here towards the top that might help too… but we’ll really need to know what you plan on doing with it and what AE doesn’t see.

I’d just drop it in the 4:3 sequence. No need to export and no need to “nest” but ‘nest’ the sequences by dragging the 16:9 sequence into a new 4:3 sequence… I guess that’s called nesting too.
Anyway — might want to check this out as it will show you some of the steps:https://www.proapptips.com/proapptipsvideotutorials/879F6B61-CFF9-4FD1-8D43-FDF89605611A/6ECEC931-47F1-4BC1-8CD4-41FE4842B45D.html
Good luck,

Yeah — my bad… “assuming you’ve set 24 as your frame rate in c4d”
Well — no, I didn’t. In setting up the project I just assumed frames would be frames and never looked for anyplace to make sure I set 24 as my /second choice.
I’m starting over. Will be fun. Lesson learned. (dumb butt).

No — thanks… I’m beyond that for needing help when asking questions. I HONESTLY do appreciate the answer… and you’d have no way of knowing my skill levels so I’m not mad about your answer. But yes, I’ve been there and done that too. I’ll trash the preview.mov file that it generates… I’ll make sure QT is off… even restarting the whole computer doesn’t help. Next step is a re-install… but hoping it won’t get to that.
Thanks again,

Thanks a bunch!! That worked great!
Now —
About the render preview… didn’t work ..
1) Ended up with an error message about the file preview.mov being used by movie something … hmm.
2) Not sure Edit Mode will be what I want. Seems there are two options… full and edit. Edit gives me gray stuff. I would like a minimum (anamatic) type export that is quick render so I can go back and forth to Shake to make sure the locations are correct. I marked the set, but not good enough for my tracker software.

Point taken. You won’t see that come from me at least again.
Thanks
