this is a huge lifesaver

Haha! Glad I could help 😁

Thanks a lot Mario! :)

Thank you Catalin! Glad you liked the video :)

Thanks! :)

Thanks!

Lucas! Haha thank you 😁

Thanks Prashan!

Thanks! Its because I started working for a VFX studio about 4 years ago so I had to learn nuke when I started as it's the most commonly used compositor in the industry. Ive used most compositors for a bit. I've tried fusion briefly, I used after effects for ages, I've used the blender one a bit... And nuke just seems to be the best in my opinion!

Glad you liked the video! Yeah feel free to drop me a message on Instagram and we can chat :)

Thanks! They're slowly getting there. After effects just got an update to allow it to use aces

It was a mistake I made in the video. You have to set the read node in nuke to aces2065 so the colours match on the round trip. I missed that step in this. If you do that they're identical :)

@@AlfieVaughan Ah, that makes sense then. Thanks for the quick response! It’s hard knowing where to start with all the ACES stuff.

Tell me about it 😂 took a lot of personal research and trial and error which is why I wanted to make this. To try and help a bit!

It's text to speech 😂😂😂

@@AlfieVaughan 😂😂

Yes it can be changed but it would be quite a bit work. The look would change a bit so it would need tweaking. I'd probably recommend just sharing ProRes files in rec709 to keep it standard if you can't switch to ACES

Check out my blender nuke and davinci workflow video

Thanks :)

I've heard it's good but I'm a professional compositor and we all use nuke at work. In my opinion it's the best compositing software around at the moment. And also I know it extremely well at this point! It's not worth me changing

@@AlfieVaughan so how about to make video like "professional VFX artist tries to compose in Fusion". I think it's very interesting and important for poeple.

Not a bad idea! I'll give it a go

@@Zaqariyah i like this suggestion!

I think if you don't turn it off it does t export as linear so it does a double transform instead which doesn't look right once you view it in nuke or blender. This is the way to do it so the colours are identical for the whole round trip through all the softwares

Procedural textures don't have a colour space, they're built from the nodes in blender... Do you mean seamless?

@@AlfieVaughan I see. Sorry I hv another question, do you grade render pass in nuke using cg or cct?

Do you mean the colourspace? All renders should be ACEScg

I'm using nuke indie 12.4 :)

It depends on the camera. It's probably pretty safe to assume it's sRGB unless it's from a fancy camera then it might be in some kind of LOG profile

It should be set to ACES CG for rendering. AP1 is its own thing. So ideally you want to work in aces CG for all the post work so it looks the same across blender, nuke and your editor etc. Double check your colour space in the write node too. Definitely don't export in matte painting. Keep the whole lot as Aces CG otherwise there will be colour shifts

@@AlfieVaughan Thank you very much 🙏🏼

@@AlfieVaughan I've for quite a while now tried applying all of the theory but for some inexplicable reason the diffuse passes still look darker than how they look in Blender (if I just look at the passes separately). Could I contact you at Instagram or someplace so I could send some screenshots?

Sure! My Instagram is @alfie_vaughan_

You don't actually output an "aces" colour space. The final render from your editing program comes out as sRGB or rec709 mostly. You just work in aces across all the other bits of software and then export Tova delivery colourspace at the end

@@AlfieVaughan Thanks, can Resolve output in the Rec2020 space? KZfaq HDR requires this if exporting from Premiere but I don't know about Resolve not having used it before.

Yes you just set it as your output transform in the project settings

It is, yep! I used the free version with ACES for 6 months before deciding to buy resolve studio

I used Nuke and Blender if that's what you mean? :)

@@AlfieVaughan thank you bro

Check out my VFX workflow video from a couple of months ago. There's a link in the description :)

You could set the output to slog 3 in the project settings

Right click on the blender logo in your dock and then click "show in finder". It should show up and then right click the blender logo in finder and click "show package contents". Then in the resources folder once you go in there it's the same as this video :)

@@AlfieVaughan 5:01 Where do you download all of those files? I can't seem to find a download button.

@@OfficiallyOToole Try the link again now. I updated it to a page that's easier to download from. Click the green code button and then download zip!

You mean when you set srgb as the output transform in the settings?

@@AlfieVaughan I'm working off of Red Monstro footage where I need to camera track a shot. I go to Color Management and change to ACEScc and it converts the RedLog to what appears to be Rec709 however it crushes everything. What would you recommend for prepping the footage to nuke in which I can deliver the client the final as RedLog for them to color grade? OR is this something I have to work off of ACES/Rec709 and deliver as Rec709? Appreciate it.

It depends how you want to work really. ACES and also the davinci colour managed workflow will both read the metadata of raw footage and automatically convert them to your output transform in the settings. If you want to deliver the log back you can select the clips and choose "bypass colour management" before exporting so it doesn't do any transforms. However I wouldn't recommend doing that as it's not good for VFX to work in log. What all the VFX studios I've worked at do is convert everything to ACES CG and then provide those EXRs to the colourist and they grade using them instead of the log. It's possible to do a transform from ACES CG back to log before sending it if they really want it but I dont think it gives a perfect result going back

@@AlfieVaughan this is a huge help, thanks! Been pulling my hair over how to tackle these shots lol

No problem!

I'm a compositor at The Mill for my actual job but on KZfaq I'm more of a general VFX artist because I have to do everything :)

Ok! :)

@@AlfieVaughan thank you bro

Yes I've seen that recently! Haven't tried it for VFX workflows but I've used it to edit my videos. It does a lovely job with the SLOG footage from my camera

I do yeah :) I have a music channel but it's much smaller than this channel

I rounded up haha. Originally it was but I cut out about a minute of rambling throughout the video to slim it down a bit :)

Nice one! 👊

@@AlfieVaughan ❤

Ayyyyy ✌️

I guess so. There's no really any need to unless you're doing lots of intense colour work. But I'm a professional soooo.... 😜
