Film color creator before or after and one more

PostWed Apr 17, 2024 3:00 pm

Where should FCC sit in a node tree. Before a lut or after? Since it is doing colors I would assume before?
My one more is I am using a dji pocket 3 conversion lut which makes the footage look colorful with just this applied.. When I add the FCC the the color washes out and looks bleached and you have to really fiddle for awhile to achieve anything close to the same colors. Help is open ears here. : )
Thank you

the release notes mentioned it expects a scene referd workflow, so either ACES or color managed,
i'd assume otherwise set the in and out transforms as needed?
i work in ACEScct 100%. of the time, and have the "film looks" well under control without this ofx anyway
what is of intrest to me is the speed gained by useing the effects and bypassing the color section

Thanks for the reply.
What I am seeing is it being used at the end after a lut. Does this look right? Since it would affect the color of the lut itself.
Thoughts?

yea, read the release notes.... really
it expects a scene refered input, sends a scene refered output
you seem to be working a mixed log encoded and display refered enviroment?

so yea.... i'd prolly do what the release notes suggest and use it's color transform in and out, assumeing that's excatly why they put them there

in that case it's creative choice where to put it, three choices:
log in/out if before a log -> display lut,
display in/out if after a log -> display lut
log in / display out if useing it in place of a display lut
