I didn't know you can work with cryptomattes in AE... thx for the tut

[@DonaldDrennan]

So, all of this is stored inside the EXR file? Only Open EXR Multilayer? What about Open EXR (not multilayer)? I noticed you aren't using a Cryptomatte node at all in Blender. Other tutorials show using the Cryptomatte node in Blender with a file output node.

[@SimonEberl3D]

Hey, yes im using Open EXR Multilayer and you dont need the cryptomatte node to export it from blender at all actually, since After Effects comes with the cryptomatte plugin. I would say a downside to storing everything in one EXR, is that After Effects then has to load this huge file for playback every time. So theoretically you could export only the cryptomatte as a exr seperately and most other passes all as individual TIFF sequences to optimize the workflow. After Effects really starts to get very slow when throwing FX on EXR layers, so its alot better to export/convert your main video layer as a TIFF. So that when using FX on your video, you arent doing it on a massive EXR file. Hope that explains it !
