Thanks! I’m not sure if that’s what happened, but clicking it with the Change Vector tool fixed it!

Hi,
Doing that just causes it to disappear. It looks like I’m going to have to mask it manually?
Thanks.

I want the Trim Paths to do what one would expect it to do, i.e. trim along the line, without adding strange extra shapes that do not exist in the Illustrator file.

I decided to just retrace it with the pen tool in Cinema 4D itself, rather than wasting time with import issues. It works the way I intended it to now.
Thanks for your help though. 🙂

If I check “Close Spine” it just turns it into a block again…

I decided to start from scratch and trace them in Illustrator… but when they get imported into Cinema 4D, the spines aren’t closed… I don’t understand why.

What do you mean exported it “with handles”?

Okay, if anyone does happen to come across this issue and is as big of an idiot as I am, here’s how to fix it:
1) I had extra keyframes past the end point of my text clip (a leftover from tracking), which was morphing my mask. Removing those keyframes solved the issue.
2) I had my export settings set to “Match Source,” which included a Field Order setting of “Upper First,” so it was exporting an Interlaced file. I changed the export setting to Progressive and now everything works as intended.That was hours of grief for what turned out to be a simple issue… Sigh.

Nope, no difference.
Someone on another forum suggested 2 different things:
– My footage was Interlaced, which it is.
– The GPU acceleration was the issue.I tried the following things:
– I changed the Field Order in the Interpret Footage setting to “Conform to: No Fields (Progressive Scan)” – it was “Use Field Order from File: Upper Field First” before. However, this did nothing.
– I switched the Video and Rendering Playback setting in Project Settings from “Mercury Playback Engine GPU Acceleration (CUDA)” to “Mercury Playback Engine Software Only”, and it ended up just messing up my mask but not fixing the problem (although it shows up in the project preview now). Here’s a screenshot:

As you can see, even though the area is masked, it isn’t being masked out.I don’t know how to proceed. :/

Well, that’s really stupid.
Are you forced to use the titler in Premiere Pro, too? Can you create text without it? As you can see, my initial text is very basic and doesn’t need the titler at all to function.
