Hi,

While working with the IR - I set up a camera and then dial in the POST settings (Tone mapping, bloom and glare, etc).  Any time I exit the camera and then come back into camera - my settings for any and all POST functions has been reset to default values.  This happens on any scene, at any time for me.  It doesn't matter if I set the options from the Camera tag or in the IR/VFB window.

Windows 10(1709 Build 16299.248) Running Cinema 4D R18(RB197636) and using Corona B1(core 1.7).

I feel like this has always happened - even when using earlier builds on an iMac and a 12 Core cheese grater as well, but I never documented it before.

Thanks for your continued development and support!

e.

Do you save the VfB settings after you have tweaked it?

Well that would just make too much sense. :)  I don't as I assumed this was for saving specific settings to be reused, but not as a stop gap for each tweak. 

So yes, this would help what I'm after, but I still think the settings shouldn't clear out on their own just by jumping out and back into camera, right?

Are you able to share the scene at all? Or a step by step description of how it's happening. I'm trying to recreate this but it seems to be working here. I've only noticed settings jump back to default when using LightMix.

It's any file - here is one that I just tossed together.  Sorry, I don't have vidcap software on this workstation, but see the attached stills and sample file.

1. Shows my set up

2. All I've done is turn off the camera (with the white crosshair).

3. Now I've jumped back into camera (with the white crosshair).

This happens to me 8000 times a day - it's maddening. I have seen this behavior in previous builds and on my macs as well.  Would be curious to hear your experience.  Thanks!

So this is also happening to me, Unfortunately It's a know kink in the system and will be addressed in future releases. For now I think saving the post-processing file is the only option.
