UE5 Stencil Layers look lighter than in full scene render?

[Estasha876]

Hey, I’m pretty new to unreal. I wanted to render an object separately from everything else in my scene so I made a stencil layer with just it.

Every time I bring it into Nuke the stencil layer is much lighter than the original plate. I tried adding in my lighting to the stencil layer back in UE5 and re-rendering but no luck. Anyone know how to fix this?

Stencil layer? Not sure how you’ve done this, but you can just create different layers for different objects by opening the layers tab and create layers from what you have selected in the viewport, then in the movie render queue setting you pick which layers you want to render in the deferred rendering tab.

Here, this video shows how it’s done.

The benefit is the lighting will match.
