Blender to AfterEffects EXR Workflow Using Cryptomatte Passes
This tutorial walks through my workflow for compositing EXR image sequences from Blender into AfterEffects using Cryptomatte passes.
I cover how use EXR's from Blender with Object ID, Material ID, and Asset ID Cryptomatte passes, then bring everything into After Effects for fast, flexible compositing.
You’ll also see how I replicate a completed shot setup and quickly apply it to a new shot...saving time and keeping consistency across a project.
What’s covered in this video:
---Working with EXRs in After Effects
---Isolating objects and materials non-destructively
---Reusing and adapting a compositing setup across multiple shots
This is the exact workflow I use for product-focused 3D animation and client work...built for speed, control, and repeatability.
