The plug-in comes with two components: the MXI Reader and the MXI Extractor.
MXI Reader
The Maxwell Render image file reader for After Effects allows you to load MXI files or sequences as an After Effect footage into a 8/16/32 bpc projects. Simply import the MXI file(s) as you do with any other files in After Effects. This way you can work with the render buffer of the MXIs like any other image format. In order to utilize the full power of the MXI format and access all of the information the file format stores we need an additional component: the MXI extractor.
MXI Extractor
We can access all the MXI buffers using the MXI extractor. It is an effect plug-in, so first add your MXI footage into a comp, and then apply the “MXI Extractor” effect to the layer. Then, you can “extract” the buffer you want.
