You need alpha enabled in kernels.

Thank you for the fast answer
I have tried with alpha enabled and all i see is the alpha, seem like the live viewer is not seeing the c4d background.
Ive also messed around with the keep environment setting which doesnt change the problem

There's a very simple scene for you.

many thanks for the scene file. what i understood was that you were in directlighting while i was using pathtracing. is there a way to do this with pathtracing aswell? so i switch to directlighting still no result, i am using a video file in my material as a animated background, this will not show in the octane preview. i tried with gradiants and still images and those worked finr. i guess my final question is : is it possible to make this work with animated elements such as a video in my background? ive linked a screenshot of my project below to better illustrate my question.

Video files are not supported. Why don't you try another texture types?

Would an image sequence work?
