Hey,

I can't get the DoF to work in Ae; I get no blur.

Here's a screenshot of my project

I've tried varying all the parameters, but can't get the slightest amount of blur.

Does anyone have an idea of why this is happening?

For reference, I followed this tutorial on youtube where it worked fine for him

You're using the Cinema 4D renderer. See the attached screenshot for what's not supported. Depth of Field is included.

Go to the top-right of your Comp panel where you see "Cinema 4D," click on it, you then see the "Composition Settings" dialog, which is also in the screenshot below, and change the renderer in the dropdown menu from "Cinema 4D" to "Classic 3D."
