    Hollywood Colorist Walter (CSI) about his color grading process

    Either as DCTL on the media page (preferred) or  it depends.

    if the shot is already in a LOG like i usually put it on the first node, a OFX color transform will act before the primaries in a node (order of operations) therefore your correction will still be in LogC.

    if the shot needs some hard transform, i might put it in the second node, (repurposing) so i can color some in the original space and then transform it.

    Ah that makes sense. Thanks Walter!

    Thank you so much Walter for sharing your hard-earned wisdom and experience. This is incredibly valuable.

    I think you usually work with a timeline set to Ari LogC so that the tools behave closely to how they behave with Cineon log film scans..?  Where do you do the color space transform for clips that are not in Ari LocC (other camera types, VFX shots etc)? In a pre-group node perhaps? And the final color space transform is on a timeline node probably?
