Ingesting offline media – ALE, AAF, thoughts?

[Richard Sanchez]

From the stand point of the AEs, the CDL is just a series of numbers. I probably worded it poorly when I said “Apply the CDL”. The CDL is baked in before it makes it to editorial, but will be useful when conforming back to the camera negative, so making sure the CDL is stored and passed along is necessary. The CDL information is usually contained in the ALE.

With v7, the CDL values do not have to be baked in which is different than passing the CDL values along which has been supported since v3. With v7, you can keep the images “LOG” and update CDL values when needed.

It is a good fix, too bad Avid doesn’t promote the workflows that it now allows. Most people don’t know it was fixed to behave this way, making it more a new feature than a bug fix in my opinion.
