Sadly a lot of guys just want to know вЂњthe magic settingвЂќ which works for all projects. And the moment I tell them about ACES2065-1 they are looking at me like I am a big fat cow.ДЄnd I seem to become an even bigger fat cow when I talk to colorists about ACES. So I started using BLGs which made it quite convenient for both sides.ДЄdditional I invited the supervisors, told them about ACES and went through the process with them. I can tell you it was a fight to get them to use ACES. And I am talking about companies with 200 and more people. After a while I found out that they are scared of the size of uncompressed EXRs and not ACES.ДЇact is, they didnвЂ™t really know in-deep what ACES is. I am dealing with post facilities in Asia that told me that they donвЂ™t want to work in ACES. My issue was вЂњhow do I make it easy for usersвЂќ and how can I make them use ACES. In principle, in fact, you can use another DRT as an alternative RRT in an ACES wotkflow, but then your output colorimetry is no longer interoperable with that of any other ACES product (unless you change all the ODTs and communicate them to the other facilities and departments in your workflow) so, unless this is done very efficiently to still justify an ACES workflow overall, whatвЂ™ the point of saying вЂњitвЂ™s still ACESвЂќ, if no ACES component is used any longer (apart, maybe, from the IDTs) ? This is, by the way, not because вЂњ the RRTвЂќ is no longer used, but because all the ODTs that any product is using ACES with are invalidated.

If other DRTs different from the ACES RRT are used, youвЂ™re not using ACES color-management any longer.

So, if anyone has got ACES-compliant OpenEXR footage, they donвЂ™t need to interpret or figure out anything else about the color-space footage is in: whether ACEScc, ACEScg, ACES2065-1, or any other sort of colorimetry. If all stick with OpenEXRs in ACES2065-1 colorimetry (as a matter of fact, described in another SMPTE standard: ST2065- 4), that helps any workflow that вЂњtouchesвЂќ at least another department (e.g.

WhatвЂ™s wrong if the color-encoding within the files is ACES2065-1 rather than ACEScg? All professional CG tools I know of can be easily configured to apply encodings before reading/writing files. I think youвЂ™re referring here to the fact that, by specs, footage should always be rendered in ACES2065-1 rather then in ACEScg. ACEScg should be used in CG/VFX workflows and, in fact, it very well is.Since interoperability is a key purpose of ACES, letвЂ™s all just use consistent names across the ecosystem. The space you are referring on top is really called ACES2065-1 (because it is defined in SMPTE standard ST2065- 1), not at all вЂњACES Linear AP0вЂќ which is how itвЂ™s referred to in FilmLight products.If you allow me, a few minor corrections to your last post: I used BLGs in a couple of major theatrical projects and many people I worked with canвЂ™t stop using it now. I also think BLG are very powerful, particularly for workflows roundtripping across several products (including Baselight Plugins for NUKE and Avid).
