3d Extractor problem - footage turns black

Hi,

 

I'm trying to use the 3D Channel Extractor for the first time and when I put it on the file ithe footage turns black. I've tried to adjust the white point and black point but I'm getting nothing, The file is a rpf seq from cinema 4d. I was following a tutorial and that is what it used. What am I doing wrong?

Thanks!

It looks like you have not added the Depth Pass into the Cinema 4D render settings. Also, in the Multipass Image section you must setup a valid format for 3D data extraction in After Effects, so you must select OpenEXR or RPF fie format for this purpose.

You are not offering enough info. What channel are you even trying to extract? What are your multipass settings in C4D? What render settings? What system? What else? You need to be a lot more specific.

I'm trying to extract Z- depth, I first tried it without a multipass then tried it with add all. I'm using a I Mac pro. Thanks.
