Well, I've got good news for you, Chris. I've already fixed the "cropping" and also added a little layer pop-up in EXtractoR's dialog to make picking channels a little easier. I'm not going to post it on my website for a little while since CC just shipped with 1.8, but you can try an early 1.9 beta here: http://www.fnordware.com/ProEXR/openexrAE_v1.9b0_mac.zip http://www.fnordware.com/ProEXR/openexrAE_v1.9b0_win.zip The code for these is here: https://github.com/fnordware/openexrAE Importing one of those Maya EXRs should "just work" now. If you want to dive deeper, you can hold down shift when you import one and get an informative dialog. This feature is considered pretty experimental, so I plan to let this simmer in beta for a while. These are also built with the OpenEXR 2.0 libraries, BTW. Doubt you'll notice though. When I first made EXtractoR and IDentifier I didn't think there was a way to do a dynamic menu right there in the effect controls. I've since figured out a way, so maybe I should replace that modal dialog. I don't think AE gives me a way to expose that via expressions or scripting though. The ProEXR AE plug-in can do a lot of the work for you. Finally, I don't know about that gamma problem, but it's probably not anything on my end. Ditto the frame blending thing. Brendan |
