Hi.
Unfortunately that tutorial is gone. I don’t know how to recover it. Maybe try the wayback machine.—

Sounds like you need to upgrade the current version of QT. It’s available for free from apple.com. Just install the latest version of iTunes and it will update all the necessary components.

I’m not an expert on C4D, I work with Blender, but there should not be a problem. At the worst you should convert the text to a mesh, UV map it and then the texture will flow correctly. Technically there is no limitation. How it’s done in C4D? Other people will surely chime in.

You need to use a format that supports the alpha channel. The easiest and safest way to do that, I assume younger gonna composite your animation later, is to render to a sequence of frames, using PNG or Tiff, and then import the sequence in your NLE After Effects. AE recognizes image sequences as clips so the process is, no pun intended, completely transparent.
You could render to QT with a codec that supports alpha but you would complicate matters. Image sequences are your friends.

What about exporting each camera “multi-clip” as an external QT movie, using something like uncompressed or SheerVideo and then re-import them for the multi-camera edit.
FYI, Premiere Pro does multi-edit for sequences.—

Alan, sorry to ask but, from your example, I’m not clear what the issue is. The photo is out of focus and badly overexposed in the top left corner, with the result that the street lights are “eroded”, which is normal in this situation.
Also, since you’re swapping lenses, have you checked your backfocus?—

OK, if that is like the HD-100 then normal is a misnomer, it’s usually several notches above normal. On the HD-100 the details settings has a range of +- 10, that is from -10 to +10 with “normal” being in the middle. I usually keep it at -9 or MIN. Check the range on that parameter and if it goes negative then move it to “MIN”, shoot some test and see if it makes a difference.
Just FYI, the “Detail” circuit is the plague of many cameras. The factory defaults lead to think that the camera shoots blurry images unless they are sharpened. In reality that is not the case. As long as your focus is correct the images will be perfectly sharp. What the so-called detail circuit does is to artificially darken the areas of high contrast, something that you can do easily in you NLE if you desire that kind of edge “enhancement”.Give it a try and let us know.

I don’t have that camera but it is a direct successor of the HD100 which I have. This problem sounds like too much sharpening, which is often an issue with the factory config.
Have you checked the detail settings? At what level do you have it?—
