Is the motion vector pass useless?

Hey guys,

Noticing RSMB won't use the motion vector pass that octane generates. Can it only be used in Fusion/Nuke then?

The motion vector pass from Octane doesn't match what I get out of VRay or Physical, so not sure if it will even work in Nuke then.

Is there anyway to use the Octane MV in AE?

Need alpha, mask it via beauty or use "lumince key"-effect and "key out everything darken then 1". Subcomp it and put rsmb on the nested composition.

This gets me halfway there so thank you.

Problem I'm having is that using either luma key or extract with a value of 1 removes ALL colour information. My movement is subtle, so my motion blur would be subtle as well, and this method crushes out any of that MV information. I can get it back by using levels beforehand and then applying luma key. But then I'm eyeballing by blur amt to match roughly to where it should be.

But I suppose it's avoidable by rendering with an alpha in future, which I should have done anyway tbh.

Thanks for your help!
