If you select your camera you'll see an "aperture width" setting in the Attributes Manager. That's what you're after....

There is no equivalent to AE's roving keyframes, but you can select your camera object in the timeline and run Functions>Set Constant Velocity....
Re: adding video on a plane to a scene

Cinema will automatically change the display mode in the viewport if the frame rate drops too low. The video is probably causing that to happen. You can generally speed up playback by using image sequences instead of compiled...
Re: Matt effect lighting

There are many ways to go about it. I would start by using Render>Effects>Ambient Occlusion with "use sky environment" checked. You'll need a sky object in your scene -- just the basic one (objects>scene>sky). Remove AO from...
Re: exporting project involving sound (sound effector) how do I export sound?

If you're using R11.5 check the "include sound" box in the Render>Save settings.
Previous versions did not support sound export....

I can't think what it might be other than the grid filter. If all else fails, try trashing your prefs directory. If you want to try that, go to editor>preferences and click the open folder button at the...

There are three icons at the top-right of the viewport that you can click-drag for pan/zoom/rotate, or you can use the 1,2,3 hotkeys. Might want to check out the help docs, too. ;)...
Re: Jumpy nulls
by Adam Trachtenberg on Apr 22, 2009 at 3:25:36 pm
in the Cinema 4D Forum
What happens is that, when you place an object inside a null, you are essentially putting it into the null's universe, so if the null is offset from the origin and you put an already-animated object into it, then the...
Re: View OBJ in c4d problem

Yep. Set your viewport camera to default and see how big the model is in relation to the grid. If it's very tiny or very huge you can have these kinds of problems.
FYI, you can change...
Re: jittery 3D animation

For the record, most of the folks I know who do a lot of TV work recommend not rendering to fields in Cinema, but rather, rendering at double the frame rate and reduce to fields in AE. Otherwise you're...

Unfortunately it's going to be quite difficult to get an undistorted texture on your object. You would need to make the loft editable and then go into UV editing mode and use the magnet tool undistort the mesh by...
Re: Change default interpolation for keyframing

Click/hold the icon all the way on the bottom-right of the time slider (next to the sound icon) and select "default interpolation". That should do it....

In R10 you can keyframe any parameter that has a circle next to its name in the Attributes Manager by Control-clicking on the circle. That will create he track for you in the timeline.
So if you want...

Click on the top icon in the tool palette on the left side of the screen (looks like a graph) and select "CINEMA 4D Menu". That should do the trick....

The export settings are in Cinema's render>save properties. You'll see a check box for "compositing project file" and a drop-down of the available compositor options, including AE. Check the box and click the "save" button to save out...

You would give the object a display tag and then animate the visibility parameter.
If you don't want the back side of your geometry to show through as it fades in/out, do the following:
*give your object a compositing tag;
*go the tag's...
