In this video you’ll learn how to use the new Cryptomatte node in Flame 2020.

The Cryptomatte data pass allows you to automatically generate a variety of mattes even after the CGI had been rendered.

It’s not an image pass that is filled with colours like an RGBA matte pass.

Instead it contains actual metadata for each object in the CG render.

The other big advantage is that the Cryptomatte takes into account transparency, motion blur and depth of field.

This makes the matte generation even more practical when it comes to compositing, look development and grading.
