Thank you RL. Much appreciated. 

In my case works ok.
Just drag&drop into IC keeping CTRL key pressed: it should create a plane with popVideo footage in there.
If you do not keep CTRL pressed, the popVideo element will be placed as a background of your scene.
Of course, many popVideo files starts with nothing and only when you press PLAY you will start to see the footage.

Btw, consider this issue with popVideo files, reported here: https://forum.reallusion.com/276316/OFFICIAL-iClone-642-Issues-Thread?Update=1#bm276362

The DOF is not working properly since ages, why no one seems to care about...no one is rendering something or ....The DOF is not the same on viewport and final render , worst now it doesn't render at all.
Thanks

I was noticing that in 6.41.  I didn't use it much before that, so I can't say how long it was broken.

Much, much less DOF in the final render than in the preview.  I'll try it now it 6.42, and see if it works at all, and will provide side-by-side images in this post.

Done in iClone 6.42.

Here are some pictures.  I can provide full-res images if anyone wants.
a) Editing window has functional DOF   :)
b) "Preview Render" has zero DOF   :(
c) "Final Render" has miniscule DOF   :(

Yes the DOF is not the same between render and preview but it works on my version: 6.42.2725.

Thanks for your explanation, i've noticed it since IC6 came out. Absolutely strange that they didn't fix it yet, one of the weakness of iclone is environment rendering, DOF can help to hide it a bit as the CC characters are pretty good in term of resolution. Obtaining 1% DOF on final render when you expect 40% is absolutely useless.

Sorry to hear of your problems with 6.42.

Is the crashing issue occurring with all projects or just the one project you are working on?
