Academy Color Encoding System Core Transforms

The Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) is a set of components that facilitates a wide range of motion picture and television workflows while eliminating the ambiguity of legacy file formats. The system is designed to support both all-digital and hybrid film-digital motion picture workflows.

The basic ACES components are:

• Color encoding and metric specifications, file format specifications, color transformations, and an open source reference implementation

  • This repository (aces-dev) will be renamed (aces-core) and houses the main rendering algorithms for ACES.
  • A set of preset Output Transforms to common outputs are tracked at aces-output
  • Input Transforms are tracked at aces-input-and-colorspaces
  • Look Transforms are collected in aces-look
  • AMF schema and example files can be found at aces-amf
  • Documentation is written in markdown and tracked at aces-docs. It is published using mkdocs to ACEScentral.

• Corresponding reference images

• Documentation on the system and software tools can be found in 'aces-docs'
