wonderfull video

Brilliant video, I'd like to ask if you can do the same for an eevee render as I'm having so. E difficulties in getting the cryptomatte from my multilayer exr?

[@OlegC3D]

Hey, thank you!, I don't ever use Evee for my work so I wouldn't even know where to begin sorry. Maybe with this new EVEE update I might have an answer for you sometime in the future :S

[@smopr8]

great tutorial...but...download links are not working ....

[@OlegC3D]

:S Thanks for catching that!!! my apologies, I've updated the links & also added a little instructions guide so people don't have to go to a different video & try figuring it out there.

Trying my chance: I have like an artefact (i think?) on my Diffuse Direct and Gloss Direct (a pixels line is too much colorized) This artefact is showing from the "source" and do not disappear when plug in Boolean node with "Add" (But on the combined layer alone everything is ok (its a sequence/video)) Did you think i can fix that shit on fusion or its dead and have to render all?

[@OlegC3D]

hmmmm if it's not showing up in the Combined layers preview like 'CompositeCombined' node or 'ViewLayerCombined' in da vinci resolve and only showing up from the source preview, maybe check that you plugged in all the the nodes in the correct inputs - white square into green triangle & yellow triangle, sometimes I noticed random artifacts & mis-colouring when I accidentally plugged it into the blue one. Sometimes I even re-started Da-Vinci resolve and re-did the entire node tree and it would just fix my problem somehow. That aside, you can also just render 1 frame from blender and see if artifact appears there also, maybe It's very subtle in blender that it's hardly noticeable and then it gets more noticeable in resolve. Problem with artifacts is, there could be so many different causes for it, just got to troubleshoot step by step :(

I see some people do full videos in blender, so i have a question, what would the benefit be to go to another sofware for compositing?

[@OlegC3D]

If you want to just composite scene & make color adjustments / lens flares / blurs etc.. You can definitely do it inside of blender compositor - much like what I did in this video. But a lot of the times in compositing people add small details for example blood splatters, or fog cards, just small VFX that you can use stock footage for which would take too long to model / simulate & render into the scene. Stuff like that is best done in After Effects / Nuke / Maybe even DaVinci resolve. Also other software like DaVinci has a wider range of color gamuts and can handle color a lot better than blender. For me it's more-so learning about production pipelines, how to composite layers in other software etc... If I'm working on a big / important project where I might need to do a lot of fine tuning, I tend to put it through he DaVinci Fusion pipeline, If I'm just doing something smaller / quicker, I don't bother with all the compositing. SO really just depends on what you want to do with your end project.

​@@OlegC3Di understand now, i use davinci resolve and fusion and I usually see people using nuke or just blender and i wanted to know why, thanks
