I’ve been having this same problem…with both C4D 11.5 and 11.523.
Latest version of AE CS4, and the exchange plugin. The same .c4d scenefile – aec will work if exported from v11 but not v11.5x
But not everyone is experiencing this, so I have no idea what is causing it.

Nathan, your launchpad looks really nice. Fancy sharing those png’s? And thanks Dan for the expressions…

My question was: Am I right in that I cannot use motion paths? Eg. There aren’t any. For the rig. Not the camera itself.
Because these rigs store the keyframe data in effects parameters rather than postion values, you have no visible motion paths, I believe, and hence animating along irregular curves is difficult. Unless, as I said, I am missing something.
As I’m sure we are all aware, there are no manuals for these camera rigs. Although I have read the material that accompanies their description, and done quite a bit of real world animation using them. Just not when I need to use motion paths.

Try Scott Frizzle’s Quaker

Thanks. You guys are great.

Online you can search Kemps (www.kftv.co.uk) but they list hundreds of companies not just the biggest ones. Check Broadcast Freelancer website and the other Broadcast owned sites and find a library in London with a copy of The Production Guide which they publish. Some guides such as LeBook do the sifting for you but there are loads of houses in London doing quality work. What that means is subjective and they all have their own niche. If you have the right kind of CV you could give Soho Editors a try for freelance work. Alternatively just go and hang around in pubs on Dean Street wearing an Autodesk branded t-shirt.

Okay thanks… that probably is going to be the best way to do it. Somebody else recommended boris cartooner which might be helpful for a different user.

Well, I seem to have more or less solved my own problem, but somebody might find it useful to know how in the future… I enabled ALL the individual layers motion blur switches in ALL comps and sub comps. Coupled with the separation in z space I gave them last night, the problems have gone away. For anyone who’s interested I didnt have the motion blur checked on for the layers that were track mattes before as I wanted them as crisp as possible, but it seems that I needed to have them on as well. Thanks for listening.

I’ve given all the layers in all sub comps a little z depth (ranging from 0.000 to 0.0050 or so ) and it has helped somewhat – now the problems only occur where there are really a lot of layers on at once.. still able to eradicate probs by disbling motion blur but I want that on… Must be just a render pipeline nightmare.

I had to make them 3D when I collapsed transformations in the upper comp, otherwise the camera move in that comp had no effect on them and they looked 2D. I’ll try giving them all a tiny amount of z depth and see how i get on, but I need to keep their size in the frame the same so I can’t go moving them back or forward too much.
