Hi, If I do serval copy for delivery standard like DCI-P3, REC 709, and sRGB for one project, what is best way to set up color management and export setting? Thanks

Kevin, very informative class. I have been making my notes. You touched on something in the archiving projects section. About outputting to “LTO tape”. I am a budding filmmaker and have been archiving to my NAS but I would love to hear your suggestions for other lower cost options. As I don’t want to fill my NAS with archived projects. Any recommendations? I started looking at used LTO tape drives on EBay but they attach via scsi. Looking for a more modern connection. Thanks!

Lesson 6
Linking proxies to high resolution files.
This method only works if the file extensions are the same.
For example if the low resolution files are proxy prores (extension .mov) and the high resolution files are RAW this method will not work.
