This is great and so simple! The one problem I'm having is that when following all of the steps, what should be the alpha parts of my sequence are still somewhat opaque, (but lighter than the fog). I'm using the same assets and steps, and I made sure to use 32-bit exrs. If you think you know why this is happening and how to correct, I would be even more grateful than I already am!
I'm not sure but a way to maybe fix it that can work is to put a multiply node in your texture then a value node and use that to control your opacity perhaps
Hey so glad to learn this! The video is keyed perfectly but there is no light interaction with it. I used a human green screen video and there is no shadow happening. Is there a way to make the shadow form from the keyed subject?
Is there a way to just play a EXR in sequencer like a backplate- so what I would like is just to have my plate and see the the CG in my Unreal scene on top of it- like an A over B comp in Nuke. Its easy to set this up in Houdini but I cant figure out how to set that up in Unreal Engine (yet).
How can you play the sequence so fast and stable? Whenever i work with image sequence for sequencer, it always has some form of delay, and easy to crash.
Hi, I started this tutorial, but I had to check out the other tutorial..."Keying out Black Background" as I'm not a "After Effects" user, So I could Knock out the Black, which i have done successfully to get the Alpha Channel on the fog layer, just like your tutorial. Now I plan to use this in UE5, But when I switch back to this tutorial you already have the EXR image sequence already rendered out and ready to import into UE5. Now I, in my limited knowledge of Davinci have tried to render this out, but every time I do this and render, they don't render out properly, In the "Deliver" Tab settings, my latest attempt was using... Format - EXR. Codec - RGB half (DWAB). Rendered out as - Individual Clips. Enabled - Export Alpha. But this still doesn't give me a proper EXR Image Sequence that I can use in UE5, I know you said you are not a Davinci Resolve user, but any pointers or help will be most appreciated, I looking through a number of other channels to see if I can find the answer. Many Thanks.
Hmm so I just tried it with the settings there and it rendered with alpha. For Codec just do RGB Half and have export alpha checked. Don't do DWAB and see if that works for ya
Thank you very much for the reply, works just fine now, not sure what I was doing before, but it's all works good now, a fantastic and really useful tutorial, many many Thanks for your assistance. @@JonathanWinbush

A great help Mr. W, awesome time saver. Thanks for the skill share
Absolutely no problem at all 🤙🏾
i did not expect such handling of 32bit Exr files.. gives room for experimentation. Thanks Johnathan.
Yea I was kind of shocked when they added EXR support at how fast it acutally runs. Runs way better than using PNG
You can prepare quickly with Blueprint, a quick method for those who still don't want to bother Thanks Bro
Great - I will test it - thank you:)
Thank you for this awesome TUT. I am going to use this. Love your stuff fam!
Thank you bro glad it helps 👊🏿👊🏿
A very useful tutorial. Thanks man.
You're welcome!🤙🏿

thanks , its a good quick format

Yup I did a tutorial to cover that aspect as well here th-cam.com/video/M3v_KqXlB-0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=SbaA7oHIppATAQlJ
bast way so far :)
Thank you sir 🤙🏿💪🏿

Does it follow camera without motion tracking since its in the sequencer was wandering if its similar to blenders insges to planes
It wouldn't follow the camera unless you set it up to do so since these are just planes

Can the alpha channel be added in Blender instead of AE?
I'm not sure I'm not that experienced in blender

I have found out . THE WHOLE WAY HAVE TO BE in ENGLISH . Like drive d: / folder1 . No chance for other language .
So you don't import the exr sequence into your project?
Not sure I understand the question
Your exr sequence stays on your drive, it's not being converted into a usset. Which works for Motion designer, or cinematic people.
