2.1 Answer

Hi,

Thank you for reaching out.

The variance between the two Clips in your file is happening because, when working with Clips or Movies, a Reflection Control Object is automatically placed at the position of the camera at the first frame of each Clip. The position of this Reflection Control object does not change during the Clip or while the Clip is being rendered. So when the second Clip starts, the Reflection Control is now in a different position and that causes the reflections of the scene to look like they suddenly change.

To fix this, simply place a Reflection Control sphere in the interior space. That way, the Projected Reflections will look the same on all Clips/Photos.

You can find it in Utilities:
