Just as you described for the moving car wheel, what you’re seeing is what is commonly referred to as the “wagon-wheel effect” in movies. When the frame-rate of the film (or the animation) and the revolutions per second of the spinning wheel are equal, the wheel will appear to be motionless, and when they’re slightly different the illusion of spinning in reverse can occur.
Either change the frame rate of the animation, or the rps of the spinning object.
Hope this helps.

Perhaps some of the real C4D experts can chime in too, but have you tried adjusting the Project Scale (Command-D to bring up Project Settings) of your car model project, and then copying and pasting the re-scaled model into your landscape project?
When I tried scaling a sample car model I had no trouble doing what you were trying to do, but there may be issues with different types of models that I am unaware of, and are the cause of your problems.
Hope this helps.

Brian,
It was extremely kind of you to set that up for Maria. Just another great example of the generosity that is such a big part of the COW. I’m sure she will appreciate it.

Angel,
Does this happen with ANY project, or just this one? If you make a brand new project with just a few simple objects do you still have the problem?
If you haven’t done so already, does it still occur after you have rebooted your computer?
I see that you are using R13, which I also use (Mac version, however). If you’re still having the problem, post your project and I will test it for you.
Good luck.

Just saw this update today on the X-Particles website:
“The current Open Beta of X-Particles is not available for CINEMA 4D R13, however we will be making a later Open Beta compatible with R13 and the final X-Particles 3 will support CINEMA 4D R13. X-Particles 3 will only be available in 64-bit.”
It looks like they changed their minds. Great news for us R13 users.

Thanks Brian. I appreciate the insight.
In this case I wasn’t trying to save an Alpha Channel, but apparently it was interfering with the Background rendering properly.

Apparently the Alpha Channel messes up the Quicktime file so unchecking it in the render settings solves the problem.

I found the problem. I must have accidentally deselected the Cinema 4D Menu in the Layout chooser.
