Nice one 👌

[@vfxwarriors]

great information

[@Arminkenedi]

very very good Video. I have seen a Video from Steve Wright but not as good as this video. Very detailed and good explained. Thanks a lot.

[@ReinOwader]

Now I'd like to see how to combine elements from different sources: 1) alexa, canon or red converted to DPX (Street scene) 2) jpeg or PNG from internet (Sky or Clouds) 3) EXR from Blender (car, robot or sculpture)

[@creativetap7346]

This is a great idea! I will look at creations some content around this soon :)

[@sashasate]

Thanks!

[@ns8031]

very well explained pls also cover ocio aces pipeline

[@diegovargas5447]

Thanks man! Have been struggling for the last 3 weeks, trying to understand color management! How does AE manage linear workflows? Have been doing a lot of reading and ended making some tests with OpenColorIO using ACES color workflow with no success!

[@petarpetrov5548]

So much effort for doing those videos, thanks a lot, I don't know how people have the time to put so much effort into videos like that when they receive nothing for that.

[@creativetap7346]

Thank you very much Petar. I really appreciate the feedback! :) :)

[@petarpetrov5548]

@@creativetap7346 You welcome, can I ask you about the footage that you are using, I've seen that green screen footage in different tutorials as well, where did you got it from if I may ask.

[@creativetap7346]

@@petarpetrov5548 mango.blender.org/ Go to that link buddy, then the download tab! It'd hard to see which shot is which but plenty of great footage on there! :)

[@Headlantern]

Hi! Really appreciate for the great tutorial! May I ask the 'PlogLin' in Colorspace in Read node? I have heard Slog 1/2/3 is log-curve that Sony uses, but I can't find any information of PlogLin.

Hey John really good video, however i have one question What if my live action plate is having a cineon colorspace and cg element having a linear colorspace When I'm merging the layers should I need to convert my cg element to cineon so that I'm working only with a single colorspace ,ie for the final render ?

[@creativetap7346]

Hey, no need to do that as nuke will linearise everything! You don't need to worry! :)

[@ronydey2696]
