working with cineon files

[Peter O’connell]

Hi, here are a few tips. Make a 32 bit project. Working Space:None. Enable linear blending. Set the initial LOG to LIN converter on your cineon sequence to have a highlight rolloff of 0 (not 20 which is the default). Otherwise the whites get clipped at 1. Bring all you elements together inside a linear comp. Once you are ready to render, drag that comp onto the make new comp button and apply a LIN to LOG instance of the cineon converter effect.
In this way you can roundtrip cineons with absolutely no shifted pixels.
In my opinion you should avoid using a color management workflow with cineons (At least I can’t get it to work losslessly).

Good Luck
