Quick Tip 004.2 - Compositing Blender passes in After Effects

Sheesh this took a while to come together. I’ve also tried compositing Blender passes in Fusion 9 (free version). While it worked pretty well there, the size limitation has been an issue in the past, which prompted me to find a workable solution in After Effects. Credit goes to Alex Weinberg’s video that explains how to get Blender’s native colour space to work in After Effects. Without that, I’d still be stuck haha.
