EXtractoR crashing AE

[jamiemcgee]

AE 25.5.0 Build 4

AE BETA 25.6.0.092

iMAC 3.8ghz 8 Core i7

GFX AMD RADEON Pro 5700 XT 16GB

OS TAHOE 26.0.1

AE Crashes if I apply the EXtractoR plugin directly to an EXR layer. Crashes if its a single frame or an image sequence.

If the effect is applied to a non EXR layer (and adjustment or TGA for example) it doesnt crash.

Example project:

Any workarounds or alternate plugings?

Thanks for reaching out Jamie and sorry for your issue.

It is crashing at my end as well, so it is not machine-specific. However, I am not to reproduce this with a different EXR. Can you test if this is a media-specific issue? Try exporting a fresh EXR file and give that a try. It'll help us narrow down the issue.

I am here to help.

Thanks,
Nishu

Thanks for the reply.

I think you have it correct. I have 4 options for exporting EXR files in the 3D software (LIGHTWAVE 3D)

RGBA FP

RGBA HALF

RGB FP

RGBHALF

It seems the RGB FP versions is the one that is crashing when EXtractoR is applied.

The other 3 seem to be OK.

I have added a folder in the link above with an example of each flavor of EXR along with a list of the export formats available.

Many thanks for your efforts.
