Hey all. Could someone point me in the right direction for the proper workflow for working with multilayer openEXR image sequences out of C4D? I can bring them into Fusion, but the color space looks... odd. Everything looks log-ish, and I can't figure out how to get it set correctly.

Thanks for your help!

EXRs are, by convention and design, linear. Are you sure C4D is saving them out as such? Render out a known linear image (like a gradient texture or some self-illuminated boxes at 3 different values) and verify.

Use "gamut node" to delinearise the footage for the proper color representation.

Thank you, that's helpful information to have. I apologize for the poor description of how the footage looked.

That is what solved it for me. Thanks!

thats actually "wrong" you want to stay linear as long as possible.

do not "delinearize" your footage before you render into a display refered format (= delivery format).
all tools in fusion expect linear data and working best with them.

better use a display LUT to view in display colorspace and while working in linear.

a good tutorial on the topic:
