Redshift Passes Not Redering

[Steve Bentley]

How are you extracting the channels? And what format are you rendering too? (sorry I haven’t opened the project yet)
There’s a free AE plug in called extractor that will pull out each channel that is embedded in the rendered files.
It also could be that the format you have chosen doesn’t have the ability to render multiple channels within it. Pshop can, EXR can but jpg for instance cannot.

We have had issues where we don’t get a RGB channel if we don’t specify one in the multi pass and then other times we get those channels even though we haven’t specified.

If you have multipass checked and are ignoring the upper save area you should be getting either multiple files each with a channel extension or a single file with embedded channels that are not immediately viewable.

Ah, I’ve opened the file now. We normally turn on multipass. You only have the standard save turned on. Also you might want to include an RGBA pass in the multi pass just to be sure. We find it renderes sometimes and sometimes not so there’s no downside to including it. Also try using a Pshop file and then you will get all your passes as layers.

I don’t have the redishift plug in so I cant test what you are seeing.

Thanks for replying. But even after trying what you said, it isn’t working.
