Cryptomatte is a method developed by Psyop for efficiently encoding accurate mattes. It typically uses three to five automatically generated render channels stored in a multichannel OpenEXR file which removes the hassle of creating dozens or hundreds of Multimattes.

The Cryptomatte render element works with both Progressive and Bucket Image Sampler.

Compared to the Multimatte the Multimatte Render Elements, Cryptomatte offers the following:

After producing a multichannel exr image with the Cryptomatte layer, we can use it in a compositing application, such as Nuke, to color correct the image. This example shows the before and after color correcting.
