Hello,
how can I use an animated background image in my renders? I Motion tracked some footage (jpg sequence). When Rendering the Scene with Octane i can not see the Background object with my footage.

Hi,
only 8bit output supports this on output. It may be the time to fix it

Mhm still not working.

1. Add Background
2. add texture to Background object -> i can see it in the c4d viewport. -> does it have to be a octane material?
3. Background renders grey.

Please check "imagesequence.c4d" and "background_and_matte.c4d" from demo scenes pack.

I am sorry, it´s still not working properly. I can´t see animated Image sequences in my renders, still images work however.

which version do you try? All is well.

Some explanation,
you can use standard or octane materials over background object. Material should have a image on diffuse/color slot. Also you should set "alpha channel=on"
