my recollection is that you just import em like any other sequence of
images. They'll show as a bright patchwork of colors in the shapes of
your objects. I filtered out individual objects by color and used them
as mattes.

my plan for my thesis was to render out a matte pass at a higher res
than the beauty pass. the color was going to be a black and white hold
out of the main character (because fur doesn't work well with tags and
my character is full of fur). And I was going to spit out a tag pass
along with it. That way, the fact that the tag pass is not anti-aliased
would not be as much of a problem. I'd scale down that layer in the
composite once I had extracted the non AA-d matte.

But if what Matt said is true (I checked my mail archive to be sure I
was not confused about what was said) then it may not work on animated
sequences. Which would be a shame. I'll have to run tests before I
start rendering. But thats months away for me.

Forgive my
ignorance with the FX Tree I
don’t use it much. I poked around the Docs and the FX Tree effects but
couldn’t find much about the Tag files. Do you have to do anything
special to them or just import them?
