Question

EXR Cryptomattes Unusable

Why are cryptomattes still so slow/unsuable in AfterEffects 2023? It's been 8 years since they're implementation. We have to use them on a daily basis for post-production work. We have to use Nuke and Fusion to extract the obj id's and then import them back into AfterEffects which is a really ineffective workflow.

Unless I missed something, I can't see any update on the topic since 2018. Could members of the community please bump this to show Adobe this is priority feature to fix.

Thanks

      I agree with everyone here, almost every project that isn't simple I have to bake down my cryptomattes to png sequences to improve render times and viewport usability. It's frustrating if the mattes need to change or if the shot get's rendered again. Not at all an enjoyable experience.
