Title: OpenEXR plugin for AfterEffects CS3
Post by: lightwolf on June 17, 2007, 03:50:25 AM
The generous developers from fnord software has released an OpenEXR plugin for After Effects CS3 with full channel support.

If you own AE CS3 and intend to use OpenEXR files this is a must have.

Cheers,
Mike

P.S. Yes, it has been tested with exrTrader and is compatible :D

Hey Mike

Trying to get this to work with the MAC versions and having problems!

I used the ZIP compression method which works perfectly on the PC, but you get a bunch of stars (*) next to the extra channels on the MAC. I tried a different format, but then I got the stars!

What I'm after is a compression that will work with both - any ideas?

ZPI should work with both... Fnordware use the latest openEXR library as well (and ZIP hase been there for ages). Does uncompressed work?

Otherwise you might need to send a sample image for Fnordware to check out.
