  DPX, TIFF, EXR Problems – Can’t render Black & – export doesn’t match original

  Hey guys,

  So recently I’m working on a project and I was asked by the post house to export most of my files in DPX and the titles I made in EXR and TIFF.
  I’ve encountered some serious problems that I couldn’t fix, I hope you can help me.

  1) DPX Can’t render black
  In one of the shots, the actress is walking and I was asked to do a black transition that crawls behind her,
  I made a simple black layer with an animated mask.
  When I rendered the file, the black was gone and I could see the original footage!
  I did succeed on this one by setting the blacks in the DPX export settings to 1. Did I do it right? or did I just ruin it ?

  2) EXR and TIFF files when re-imported to after effects are shorter
  Two accidents here.
  First I exported the titles in EXR – Zip Compression and the Editor said it was a mess and not timed as we planned.
  Second I exported them in TIFF files and when re-imported the sequence is just shorter. I interpret them to the right frame rate and yet it still didn’t work right

  3) DPX Export is shorter than sequence
  This may be just a bug in after effects CC but, I exported a sequence 4 times and the DPX file numbers didn’t match the number of Frames.
  I changed the sequence name (????) and It worked fine! why?

  PS. all DPX files are 10bit and all Tiffs were Floating point RGB + Alpha

  Thanks in advance for your help
  Eli
