if the reflection catcher is set to add in the mix node, what happens if our moon was a black object? The black would be totally removed by the add blending mode and we would have no reflection. Any workaround to perfectly cut out the reflection without relying on the add blending mode?

Hey, the thing is, you can't really export just the reflection because we use the "add" blend mode. Without that, it simply doesn't work. So, if you're planning on using the image elsewhere, let's say AE, then just simply take the glossy pass and do the same operation there.

A quick question. I set up a simple scene. I shot a desk in my hotel room with my camera, tracked it and then added a Suzanne model over the desk. I have a glossy material plane aligned to the desk surface. I was going to export it all into EXRs and comp in Nuke.

Is there a way to have a glossy surface reflect light coming off the objects in the scene but not directly from the light itself?

Is it true that after Blender's new Shadow Catcher pass, we need not add a separate Reflection plane? I guess the reflections are included in Shadow Catcher. Plz correct me if I am wrong.

Yeah, if your shadow catcher has a reflection material to it, then the reflection will show up in the shadow catcher pass. However, the whole point of the pass is to have control over the shadow. Can't do that when the reflection is getting in the way. I'm sure you can get creative and find your ways around it.
