Learn how you can use Color Managed Workflows in After effects.
This is a practical After Effects guide which is a 2 part series:
In Part 1, I will explore color managing in 4 different color spaces: Display, Log, Linearized, and ACES. I will show a workflow for each, how to set it up, what settings to check or uncheck, what are the limitations, and show you comparisons.
In Part 2, I will implement these workflows on real project scenarios, and show a full workflow, with color managing and compositing, to see exactly how to do it, what to watch out for, and share when would I typically use each workflow.
Please share your experience with these or other methods in the comments, any feedback or observations about this will be appreciated. thanks for watching
