Hi,
I have the same question. I’m working on 2k film scans for the first time and I’ve been reading anything I can find regarding after effects and dpx workflow, linear color workflow, etc. I’ve found conflicting reports on whether to let AE do color management, and if so how to do it. Also it sounds like the workflow has changed with with each new version of AE. I did find this article on working with cineon files…

https://magazine.creativecow.net/article/cineon-files-what-they-are-and-how-to-work-with-them

but its not clear what version of AE the author is using. He recommends not using any color profiles. But Adobe’s white paper on color management workflow(found here https://www.adobe.com/devnet/aftereffects/articles/color_management_workflow.html) says you should use the Universal Film Camera Printing Density profile.

Can anyone shed some light on this subject? After all of the reading I have done I have no idea what the correct workflow is. Just like the previous poster, I’m sure I DO have to communicate with my source and destination contacts, but I’m not sure what info I need from them.

thanks for reading–Richard
