    I find that a black background dosn't matter because whenever I use a C4D I usually set it to screen. (gets rid of the black)

    Thats because of your material. You most likely have transpereny checked.
    If you put it up to a black background, Ctrl click the C4D layer, go back to the black BG, press ctrl+Shift+I, then delete, it should look like before. And if neccasary, merge the layers.
