In this tutorial 3D- & VFX Trainer Helge Maus gives you a brief introduction for working with multi-channel EXRs inside of Adobe After Effects CC 2019. With the help of the free Plugin ProEXR 2.0 (www.fnordware....) you can easily extract channels from EXRs. Also you can automatically build a full composite from all layers of an EXR file.

Hello Guys,
with Adobe After Effects 2020 the ProEXR 2.5 Plugin is integrated. So you don't have to install it by hand. Also, some functions have changed.
I talk about these changes in my new tutorial: ua-cam.com/video/R_8bfke0EY0/v-deo.html
All the Best,
Helge

The ProEXR plugin is missing form the main website where can find one? Need it for AE 2019

Hey man, thanks for this tutorial, really helpfull!
However now with the installation of Adobe AE 2020 I bumped into a problem.
I can't seem to locate the 'Create ProEXR Layer Comps' option in the 'File' menu anymore.
Has it been moved or is it a bug with the latest 2.5 version of ProEXR? Do you know?

[@rjmora86]

Had the same issue. Downloaded version 2.0 instead and that worked for me.

@@pixeltrain3d im having trouble getting this to work correctly.. I have a scene in blender 2.8 with a bunch of layers I set up. and I set up my file output there with each of the passes.. the problem is that after effects does not seem to be seeing the alpha part of it. so I cant over lay all the layers on top of each other like I need too.

Hello, may I ask tutorial how to install plug in into Photoshop? There is no folder for zip file as in your video, also download pack consist from ProExr ProExr EZ and ProExr displayWindow.jsx. Then I drag that into plug-in folder, Photoshop doesn’t run it at all

[@ellegold1039]

Hi, So I believe I rendered my AOV passes out of Renderman for Maya with an Alpha Channel. Then I watched this great tutorial and used the Extractor..but my question is if only one layer is listed in the Extractor Layer, then did I not get my Alpha? Because I am not able to extract my Alpha layer out of my EXR passes yet..thanks
