Aces color workflow: decisions before shooting ends
An aces color workflow works best when it is agreed before editing starts, not after the first grade. The choices that matter are the working space, which camera transforms apply and how reference monitors are set for the delivery formats you need. Changing them mid-project shifts every shot. Tell us which cameras appear, including drone and phone footage, because each needs a correct input transform to sit alongside the others.
Consistency across vendors is the main reason studios adopt it. A VFX house, an editor and a colourist all need the same configuration, otherwise shots match on one screen and clash on another. We document the setup so any new person can reproduce it. Before ordering, gather camera lists, delivery specs, any existing LUTs and the software each department uses, so the plan covers handoffs, not only the grading suite.
