Sooo... if you'd like to have an update: it was indeed real and it was a fantastic masterclass by Volpatto and with Raymond Linares as host. 

And the  TAC school is totally legit. You can discard the doubts and bookmark their webpage.

Indeed, it was an amazing masterclass.  Something you wouldn't like to miss the next time. They said it's going to be a replay. I don't know the terms of it.

Couldn't agree more. Being able to hear & watch how a colourist as the caliber of Walter approaches his projects (and the whole methodology behind) was a true blessing!

Thanks Walter & TAC.

Hi @Walter Volpatto I have 2 questions from the tac masterclass :)

If you have 2-3 different cameras that you want to convert to Alexa colorspace, do you put the color space transform in the camera group or (timeline & clip?)

And the images you used, showed for Alexa, Sony red. (grey 18) do you have them for download?
You also showed a document to be able to download for information :)

Thank you so much!
Love you work!

Yes. It would be helpful to have a download link to the promised documents announced during Walter's Masterclass.

Thanks for the link to the replay of the class.
