Multilayer EXR sequences in Blender: Exporting and Compositing tip

Hey subscribers! In this short quicktip video we cover how you can utilize exporting multilayer exr sequences to export all of your render passes in one image sequence. This is a great format to use when you need a lot of control in compositing. It does however take up more file size generally. So choose which shots you need the extra control for. Let us know what you would like to see next on the channel.

Amazing intro to this complex topic

[@LightArchitect]

Thanks Silver Works!

[@viruxmenx]

Bro u just solved me a huge problem I had, THANK YOU

[@LightArchitect]

You are welcome! Thanks for watching our channel!

[@ario6819]

tons of thanks, these are awesome!

[@LightArchitect]

Thank you for watching our channel! Glad it was useful!

[@Noah-qd4ts]

Thank you, looks great

[@LightArchitect]

You are welcome!

[@its_dimski]

Ah, thanks man very helpful!

[@LightArchitect]

Glad to help. Thanks for watching Dimski!

[@scottlee38]

Cool intro to EXR!

[@LightArchitect]

Thanks Scott! I've been getting too lazy just compositing with a combined pass haha.

[@gaston.]

this was helpful.. thank you. Yes, it is a little confusing with the different panels, Compositing, & Output properties...needing to add an output node or not in the Compositing panel.. this helps clarify that... thank you

[@LightArchitect]

Awesome! Glad to help! Yes it can be complex but the learning curve for node based compositing makes life easier....and it's honestly more fun imo. Thanks for watching!

[@rodolfoxavierneto6667]

Really cool tutorial man. How do I get the results, there is a way to save the composited image?

[@hhigh_af]

Do you know how to render a png sequence with alpha channel from composite? I can't seem to figure it out.

[@Udiiii]

You mentioned something about the File output node in the start which you said is not required for open EXR multi layer exporting. When do we use that then?

[@melbendigo]

Thank you for this video. I'm still trying to wrap my head around compositing in Blender and I have a question. When you rendered out the scenes, the node system you had set up was calculated and applied to each frame, but when you imported the EXR sequence, you plugged it back into the same sequence of nodes, so doesn't that run all the color adjustments on frames that have already been adjusted? Thank you for your help!

[@LightArchitect]

Ahh I think I understand your question. The original composite is only exported with the Composite node. The individual passes are left alone. Hope that answers your question. It's a good one.

[@DonaldDrennan]

How can I use the mist pass in a texture? What about the shading editor? I don't see how to access all the layers like I can in the compositor.

[@5single318]

I've set the output correctly and hit render but it won't show up anything in my folder, and if I add "file output" node in compositing tab, it works. Can you tell me what happened?

[@fajarfazriansyah1049]

I'm new in Blender, so how do we export another passes such as mist, cryptomatte and ect into exr or png?

[@cocboss3329]

helpfull video

[@LightArchitect]

Thanks for the support on our channel!

[@charanganesh3700]

There is some issue for me taking the exr into after effects the colors are blown out and the exposure is too high and even when I input the Gama values to 2.2 in after effects blender multiplayer exr are is having over exposure issue, but it doesn't happen with the normal exr files can someone please explain this why is this happening, I even had experience working in arnold renderer in Maya and it doesn't have this difference in exposure in multilayer and normal exr

Hey subscribers! In this short quicktip video I cover how you can utilize exporting multilayer exr sequences to export all of your render passes in one image sequence. This format is great to use when you need lots control in compositing! Though it does take up more file size so keep that in mind. What would you like us to cover next?

[@jkartz92]

how would one get denoised render in multi layer exr from composite node?

[@LightArchitect]

Hi SK, I'm not sure actually. I'd have to look into it.

[@KowProdMedia]

Do you happen to cover the same topic but for objects by chance? For the life of me I cannot get it to work properly.

[@dedykariadi9185]

hellow when i set render output node in compositing, i just get 1 render layer? it's is wrong?

[@LightArchitect]

Hi Dedy. Are you sure you are using Multilayer Openexrsequences as your format? If you are using PNG then you need to create multiple file outputs.

[@dedykariadi9185]

@@LightArchitect yes i am sure, but if i don't use node for render, ITS available.

[@jkartz92]

don't you need denoised render for all light passes?

[@LightArchitect]

I'm not sure actually. I haven't had to deniose anything major so far.

he did not, infact, include a link in the description for the previous video.

[@Jsitez]

So confusing

[@CmdrTigerKing]

wtf you dont even show the results

[@mansfault3734]

and

[@LightArchitect]

I think you may have deleted the rest of your message. Any way I can help you?

[@CmdrTigerKing]

I didnt undersdtand anything

[@LightArchitect]

Hi Cmdr Tiger King,
Sorry to hear that. Perhaps learn some more basic VFX techniques before learning about Multilayer Exr sequences. It will all come together. Takes some time.

[@Decco6306]

who uses the most closed up system like a mac on an open piece of software like blender made with a totally opposite mentality on computing? blasphemy I say! blasphemy!

[@LightArchitect]

Hahaha idk maybe I'll be switching back to Windows soon lol.

[@Decco6306]

@@LightArchitect lol they are all fine imo. I don't use mac because of their anti right to repair practices, and i use Linux because its free and my personal computing situation doesn't call for any platform specific software i cant live without. PopOS is pretty cool. check it out sometime. worse thing can happen is that you don't like it and you can just reinstall windows. No complex understanding of computers or the command line is needed to use linux these days. it has seriously come a long way. (linux is more mac like than windows imo)
