OMG brother Winbush... What Do I Owe you for this bro? Like seriously what do I owe you man? if you know how i have been looking for how to do this? Lord have visiting your channel is what i do daily and its always like Christmas man.... Lord Please make me meet this Brother in this life. NOT the next one. Thank you much boss

The white edges are usually because it's being interpreted as premultiplied alpha, may fix it by interpreting as straight alpha in AE, not sure if you can set that option on unreal render.

[范博翔本悟]

[kjhu]

thank you! really good video. sooo helpful❤

[commontimeproductions]

This is awesome! I just got into really using After Effects in my project and never would have thought to use the exr file instead of png sequence. Very cool indeed. Mind blown lol :) Can't wait to share finally after all these months lol. You rock as always!

I have a problem when i render in .exr my sky and cloud is black, can you help me?

[Raitan]

Looks good. Question. I am going back to comic book creation. I used blender last time and this time I am going with unreal. I used After effects trapcode suite for special fx for energy blasts and explosions and shields, etc. I have been looking at niagara packets for sell on UEMktP, and I am not feeling it. Is it worth it to learn Niagara myself to do my sfx, or should I use after effects or Illusion to get the job done. I won't be doing a lot of animating. Also, do you have any tutorials (paid or free) that shows how to do Captain Marvel/Iron Man/Magic attacks in unreal?

[kuunami]

I hope they'll add more render passes in the future. Especially compositing masks if that doesn't already exist in UE5

[davidkundan]

Thanks for another amazing
is there anyway that we can import camera and locator from Unreal into after effect ?
thnx

[salvatorecs]

For me no work..IDK...:( Can you please tell me why I can't import .exr in after effect? At the beginning it says .Gynger proxy error...After that I give ok...After effect could not read from source...And after .exr file unsupported...Thank you

[olahaldor]

Huh.. I seem to miss all the export file format settings and alot of other stuff.
Is there any plugin or setting I need to enable to see all of that?

[armondtanz]

Heeeey. Great stuff. Literally going to use this with the layers channel.
Theres also a trick using the new world levels where u can switch actors/lights out and render seperate onto transparent background.
The only issue is shadows. Aint worked that out yet. :(

[neytey]

Nice! Could you do a tutorial on how to setup multipass rendering in cinema 4d with redshift?

[FormerDeveloper]

hi winbush! what color management do we need to use in AE Project setting? Im exporting from unreal exr

[benveasey]

Has development of UEs Composure stopped? Is Composure any good?

[AVISIONMUSICTV]

My brother. How do I process a .exr with a disabled tone curve? I didn't add any deferred settings like you did.

[abggamer]

Will stay tuned to your channal! Cheers!

[iamYork_]

what it do? Just what i was looking for!!!

[joeymorelli]

Hey Winbush...I followed your instructions to the letter...why can't I see the .EXR layers in After Effects Extractor? What am I doing wrong? (Apple Silicon M2 Max / Venture 13.6.4 / UE 5.3.2)??
