Cryptomatte Masks or Mattes in Redshift

Learn How to Use Cryptomattes in Redshift + After Effects!

In this tutorial, we explore how to set up and use Cryptomatte AOVs in Redshift for Cinema 4D, and how to use them effectively in post-production with After Effects.

We’ll walk through a simple scene using cloned numbers with different materials and show how to generate masks based on:

• Object Name

• Material Name

• RS Object ID

• User Attributes

You’ll learn how to isolate objects or materials for color correction and compositing, and we’ll also compare this workflow to using qualifiers in DaVinci Resolve for faster, more accurate grading.
