Cryptomatte for animation

Please include the option to save Cryptomatte as EXR for animation. I believed it was there and had counted on it, but to my surprise, I can't utilize it in the animation I'm working on.

Please make it possible to store cryptomatte for animations and ensure compatibility with DaVinci Resolve.

    I'd like to explain my prior message. We need to store the PASSES as CXR with the specified passes, including cryptomatte. When rendering animation, the sole option is to save REGULAR IMAGE as CXR, which is not the preferred method because it is saved in 32bit and the colors are heavily skewed and difficult to fix.

    Furthermore, Corona renders all potential passes rather than just the selected/defined passes, resulting in large files.
