[Batch process .exr to .png: how to get transparent background?]

Hi telemax,

thanks so much! It worked using your macro.

For some reason, "Associate OpenEXR alpha channels" was checked in my case. I unchecked it and everything is perfect.

Thanks so much again!

And you get the same result when doing it through the batch process?

Hi and thanks for posting the macro. It does make the background transparent, yet, now my png looks like this:

Hi Walt,

thank you very much for your quick reply.

I tried to record the Macro as you suggested, but unfortunately, it did not work. I am still getting PNGs with black background. I, then, tried another Macro to delete the layers with background and only keep the to layer, but I cant get this to do the job either. I am attaching pics of my EXR files with layers to better illustrate my problem. I need my final PNG only to contain the top layer "View Layer.Combined.RGBA". This needs to be achieved in a batch process as I need to apply this on several hundreds of animation stills.

Again,thank you very much for your help!

Best regards,

Hidari

Hi there,

I was trying to batch process my blender rendered .exr files to png and even though the exr files are saved in RGBA, I cannot get them into png format with a transparent background. Regardless what I do, the backgorund is alsways black as one or more of the render layers in the exr shows a black background. I would only want the top view (RGBA) layer with the transparent background. How can I do that?

Thanks so much for your help!

Best,

Hidari
