Thanks John!

Hi Dave and Erik,

Thanks for your replies! It seemed that motionblur was the troublemaker. My knowledge of interlace is very minimal so i had no idea that motion blur with masking in combination with interlace would cause the dimming.

Thanks for your time guys.

What object are u using to colide with the blocks to push them out? U could parent a sphere to your camera and make the sphere invisible and add a composition tagg and uncheck “seen by camera”

I think Maxon released a new plugin for importing/exporting c4d & ae files very recently. U should give that a try, works for me.

Hey Roland! You are right, its probably an opengl error, seeing as i had some of them before :p I removed the OF in that scene because it was actually nicer with out it, and in the scenes that i did use it, the problem didn’t occur 😀

Thanks for your reply!

Thanks for your reply and example file Brian! I had to go for the spline dynamics option because i had to much shackles to get it to work with normal dynamics. The steps per frame and the solver iterations did make a difference but couldn’t keep up with my scene.

Hey Brian,

I’ve added some relax time and that solved the problem!

Thanks for your reply!

Hi Steve,

Thanks for your reply! That would be a nice solution, but unfourtunately i’ve had to pre-compose every layer seperatly because i had to add custom adjustment layers and sfx to almost all the individual video layers. The pre-composed layers are as a big as my timeline, and not as big as the smaller video layers inside each one. I should have trimmed every composition to match the video layer duration but at that time, that seemed as a waste of time :p So now when i select the footage in my viewport, i actually select the transparancy of the top most composition. And when i use your solution now, i see all my layers.

I just finished this project, but for my next project i’m def gonna trim my compositions so that i can use the solutions you and Vishesh proposed. Still a new feature in the next AE would be appreciated. It shouldn’t be to hard for adobe to add a feature to select the layer corresponding to the selected pixel in the viewport (ignoring transparency).

Anyways thanks for your help!

Hey Vishesh,

When i select the layer in the viewport it automaticly selects my top layer in the timeline and not one of the (correct) layers underneath. When i press P.T.R.S it only effects my top layer. Any thoughts about this?

Thanks for your reply!

I don’t know much about fading in c4d. How about using depth of field? or Environment with fog?

Anyways good luck 😉
