Hi, I am following a tutorial, and my marker numbers are reversed-his numbers, go from -1 to 0, left to right , black to white-I am using a different model, my numbers are opposite, 0 to -1, white to black, left to right; I then used his model in my scene, and I can not match what he has; I attached my scene file; I thought that I had the VEX in the attrwrangle correct, but I can not find my mistake, perhaps someone can enlighten me please as to what I got my results ?, thank you in advance, Craig

thank you for your response-I seem to find many variations in different forums; this time I used ; $HOME/desktop/skull_cloth.exr. I was able to open my image in PS,layers intact as an exr file, no cryptomatte layers though. In the arrow next to the "Out Picture" , only options are field, are mplay or sequence of options. Can you please suggest better options to set my image path please? I sometimes save to desktop, easier to find, but I can also save were my hip file lives, thank you

Hi, I have a PC, about a year old, two NVIDIA RTX A4000 video cards, 64 gigs RAM; after loading a cached file, about 2Million points, it seems to load slow, after a couple of minutes, still waiting to view the geo in Solaris; -my objective is to render a 8-10 S animation with about 8M points, so I would layer this in AE. Is my wait time unusually long,? several minutes; is there any way to speed this up,?, thank you, Craig
