    dear all!

    as i am grading now on an fsi xm55u i wonder if i should start my next grading in p3 and aces.

    but which odt should i select?

    fsi told me:

    The DCI P3 setting is true P3 Gamut with DCI P3 white point of 0.314, 0.351 and 2.6 gamma.

    does anybody do cinema in p3 in aces? suggestions and tipps welcome!

    thx andi

    To me, the only time to color-correct for cinema is with a projector. You’ll never know how it’s going to translate until you see it in a DCI environment.

    What we have done is color-correct entirely in Rec709 on an OLED display, then move the whole session at the very end into a theater, and do a trim pass from start to finish on the projector. Generally, this can be done in 2 or 3 days. You wind up with a Rec709 version that works fine for broadcast, streaming, home video, and so on, and a DCI P3 version for theatrical/festival screening. No surprises either way.
