Included with the download of ProEXR is a collection of 4 free, open source plug-ins providing complete access to OpenEXR files in After Effects. Many EXR files feature extra channels beyond simple RGBA. In some cases they may include depth and velocity vector information, in other cases there may be entire render passes folded into a single EXR file. These plug-ins were created to open up After Effects to all the possibilities in OpenEXR.
First off, the native After Effects file module is replaced with an updated one that provides API access to all the channels in an EXR as well as extra compression options when rendering EXRs out of AE.
Then in your After Effects Comp, extra 3D Channel plug-ins are provided for pulling additional channels in. Unlike other 3D Channel plug-ins, EXtractoR and IDentifier list all channels in a file by name and let you map them to the AE layer.
