Re: [Avid-L2] Re: Alexa

 

But all of this still means the same thing as I said earlier, right: no color corrected conversion without a third party app?

The ideal would be I get useable files from an Alexa shoot, that can come in through AMA, and the colors will look as they were intended on set. Subsequent transcoding then has this look baked in.

This all is not substituting anything less than 35mm one-light TK or Red with color settings. Anything less is a step backwards.
