Welcome,
I have a problem trying to read multi channel EXR files from Houdini into After Effects. The eXtractor plugin in AE does not see any image planes, regardless the setting I try. Changing compression modes of EXR files does not help either. It is a pretty basic functionality. How can I remedy this? Thank you in advance

I am 99.99% sure that this is an AE issue, and the free version of Extractor is not really that functional and wont really read anything other than depth. I use ExtractorPro, which you can buy for 65 bucks or so and that works great, separates out all the channels, and gives you a contact sheet of your passes.

Unfortunately it does not solve the general speed problems that AE has with .exr's…
