Hey Lucien Agreed - theres something weird done to the plates that I’m unable to solve my end. I can reverse out everything neatly the way i have it - but its messy and i don’t want to cause problems down the road - I’ve settled to just using the standard colorspace node: in set to

Hey Neil, the result you get from this srgb -> arri wide gamut are not surprising but I dont think they are appropriate in your case. If you are converting this plate with negative values from srgb to arri wide, you are essentially saying that the code value of your image which are negative

Hi Kevin Thanks for help ok so random frame on one of the pics… looking through OCIO node converting ARRI V3 LogC(EI800): log values 74 61 87 across rgb in lowest value….. and weirdly in superb rights - 0 0 1023 in highest value ……! - changing primaries from sRGB to AlexaV3LogC

Hi Guys Thanks very much for the input - very interesting The plates are 10it DPX I’m clicking RAW on the read node - so not changing any color then : 1/ changing primaries from sRGB to AlexaV3LogC - get rid of a ton of negatives ( values lower than -1) I’m taking a guess here ( shares the

What file format are the raw plates? Quicktime or Arriraw? How did you try to convert direct from Arri to ACEScg? IE which colorspaces did you use? On Sun, Oct 30, 2016 at 7:24 AM, Neil Scholes wrote: > Ok - so thanks for the tips - and the solution > > I’ve now got RAW

Ok - so thanks for the tips - and the solution I’ve now got RAW plates first going through a regular colorspace node - just changing primaries from sRGB to AlexaV3LogC Next an add to eliminate the tiniest negatives…. A final OCIO colorspace node going from ARRI V3 LogC (EI800) wide gamut - to

Thanks for that I'll check it out. That might be a solution. Strange though as the whole point of the IDT is to bring the footage into ACES without needing to offset etc. Yesterday I was also made aware that the plate may have peculiar primaries so I've got a few ideas now to try out Thanks

Hey Neil, I had a similar problem than you on a show shot in Arri wide gamut. The first thing to notice is that Arri Wide gamut have very different primaries than Aces CG. In other words, some colors in Arri Wide gamut correspond to negative chromacities in Aces CG gamut. Besides this, the

I hate to even suggest it but could they have recorded Rec709 instead of LogC? Or perhaps someone rendered LogC to Rec709 between when it was shot and when it got to you. Either way, awkward. Sent from my iPhone On Oct 28, 2016, at 13:41, Neil Scholes

Hey, Do you have 'raw data' checked on the read node? If you don't, Nuke apply it's own linearization when the data is read in, at which point the data flowing through the graph is no longer LogC encoded. Not checking that box could lead to problems like you're describing. HP On Friday,
