Thanks, good to know. May have another question soon.
I was on AE 23.1 and the latest one 23.2.1. Super hard to change versions here. We don't even have the Adobe Cloud to manage our apps..

Thanks, yes AE 23 is different for mattes. not seeing your attachment, if you can resend. Also how does one send files to you to look at now? Understand the cyber issues, did my training again last week.

RE: Object buffer not working after After Effects upgrade.
Thanks much, sorry for the hassle with AE, that happens. Took another look at it, and it's the same. I see your ObjectBuffers in After Effects in the Multipass selection of Cineware, but it has no effect on the layer its attached to in the timeline / comp. I have reached out to tech support, haven't heard back in several days. A bit of a problem as I need to deliver the file in AE23. I can always render it out as a psd seq, but there are a lot of them, and we needed the flexibility of going back and forth to C4D.
Thanks again on it, Jon Lewis -
RE: Object buffer not working after After Effects upgrade.
Thanks so much! So I tried it with your file and I'm still having the same result with the object buffer selections between After Effects versions AE 22 and AE 23. I'm not using Redshift on these, so not sure if that matters. I did need to add the object buffer to the render settings in your file. Attached screen shots of using AE 22 (teal) and AE 23, (pink) using the same setup on both versions of AE. In the AE 22 Teal, it works great, the solid only covers the center section, where the object layer is set. In the AE 23 pink, the same object buffer covers the whole thing, like an alpha, not just the center. Something has changed between the versions.. Thanks, Jon

Object buffer not working after After Effects upgrade.
Hi, running into an issue with C4D Object buffers and having this seen in After Effects after upgrading After Effects to 23.1.0. I opened a project that I had been working on in AE 22 that contained a C4D file where I was accessing an object buffer. Just a simple iPhone, and trying to replace the screen.. no big and it was working great. After the upgrade, the object buffer is not seeing that matted section, or the phone insert section, only the full alpha. My understanding (and the way that has been working for me) is that AE uses two C4D (cineware) layers, one is for the image, the other is for a matte (object buffer) to key into the base C4D image. For the layer in AE that is supposed to be the object buffer, it needs to output a matte of what goes inside of the phone, not the full phone.
Tried reimporting the C4D files, re-setting project, and built a new project in AE, and still I can't get the object buffer to work or show. Anyone else seen this, I'm I missing something, or did something change? The AE 23 upgrade did make changes to how it sets up alphas and mattes, so that could have caused something?
I have some files but would need to DM them.Thxs!
