I used the pipeline to blender and its set to cycles import but im getting the grey hairs and eyebrows; anybody know what setting fixes that?
Rendered in 5 hrs.

Nice story and pretty clean render. I don’t quite get how this could be about 2 seconds per frame and the other one was 2-2.5 minutes. Yeah, the background in this is a photo (not 3D) and I’m not sure about the grass, but even if just the characters, the bear sculpture, and the car are rendered, 2 seconds a frame at 4K is IMO fast for Cycles.
BTW: I think the guys should’ve strapped the bear onto the roof or something.
Nice video! Yeah, it does seem like an insanely fast render time in Cycles.
What’s your setup? What were your render settings?
Regarding the materials, you have to rebuild them because it usually doesn’t build the nodes quite right upon import. I mean you don’t have to manually rebuild them, there is a button for it in the plugin’s panel.
I forgot the title had 4K in it, that was just for organizing. 4k is what i upload to filmfreeway for film festivals but was upscaled in Davinci Resolve from the 1080 that blender put out.
I had it set to 2000 samples but the noise threshold was set to .04. Light bounces i dropped to 8. It was rendered on two computers, one is 4080 super, the other is 3080.
The background is an HDRI, i put grass on the ground using scatter.

Nice work overall, funny too 
But I had to mention… Those guys look like soldiers in a line - shoulders specifically. And I see that quite often.
Not sure how you animated, but this usually happens when you just rotate upper arms down from a T-pose. Shoulders should come down as well by either moving upper arms down a bit, or rotating clavicle bone in FK mode giving more natural, relaxed pose.
Here is to compare…

Oh, this explains it then. Even so, it’s pretty smooth, did you use Resolve’s deflickerer?
OK, so let me get this straight: The original render was 1080p and the project was rendered on two separate machines (one with the RTX 4080 and one with the RTX 3080) at the same time and both machines were rendering for 5 hours or is 5 hours the cumulative render time of both machines?
