CLF VWG UpdateJD Vandenberg
What Common LUT Format is- A universal file format for 1D LUT, 3x 1D LUT, 3D LUT, Matrices,Range Mapping, - Support for several of those transforms to be serialized within one file.
What Common LUT Format is NOT- Part of ACES. It can be used with or without ACES.- A hardware optimized LUT format- A multi-branch color corrector transport format

CLF Virtual Working GroupSpec review: XML formatting, Integer support, Required vs. OptionalCurrently under consideration: List of pre-defined transfer functions Full invertibility Add nodes to specs Adding parametric functions (e.g. lin to log)

ACESclip UpdateChris Clark
Goals of this ACESclip VWG1. What are the user requirements of ACESclip metadata? Examples: PRODUCTION: how do I view this shot? (now) ARCHIVAL: how was this viewed? (years from now)2. What software or hardware is responsible for creating, modifying,and reading ACESclip metadata? Examples: Cameras, on-set grading, dailies, VFX, color grading software
What ACES version?Working Color SpaceCDL?LMT?Which ODT?
What’s a must-have and what’s a nice-to-have?Must-have examples:ACES viewing recipeNon-ACES working spaces (for CDLs, LMTs)Custom transforms (CLF?)Nice-to-have example:History of viewing recipes, multiple recipesFraming info Where do we stop?
