rendering with actor layers

hi, im trying to render simple animation with actor layers to separate elements inside
once i render the sequene regular it looks good and like the preview, when i add an actor layer the render looks dark
i tried in different projects, different actors, baking light and almost everything i know
it always look the same.
attached 2 images with/without actor layers
if someone have an idea how to solve it
thanks


Hi @lee-roy2010,

Looking at the reflections in your painting, it looks like your darker render is missing some lighting.
