custom exr settings

Draft
#1

We would like to be able to set custom exr settings, 16b float, 32b float, and compression methods. Also, to define custom data windows and add custom metadata into the files.

Is that currently on the roadmap?

One thing that could hurt nuke workflows particularly is the current compression setting of block scanline. Nuke is REALLY bad with that, since its decompressing / handling images per scanline. So for every scanline, it will reread the same block of data over and over. The recommended nuke friendly exr compression is single zip scanline.

#2

Thank you for your feedback! Yes, those features are on our wishlist.

In the next release, we’ll either add an option to use zip per scanline, or we’ll use it by default.

#3

Is there still no way to choose between 16 or 32 bit exr files?

#4

We’re working on some changes right now that might involve this feature being exposed for the next release. (With the cut-off time fast approaching, it may or may not make it in.)

#5

OK. Thanks for letting me know.
