ABSTRACT

As the name implies, the Utility effects are utilitarian in purpose. These effects, generally speaking, will be more useful to those in more professional work-flows, including those working with film, managing color, and using HDR color. A color look-up table is a file used to convert a set of colors into another set of colors. This is typically used when storing color corrections for reuse or for sharing, or to bring files into compliance with known standards. The Cineon file format is a still image format. To playback frames of Cineon files as a movie, they must be imported as an image sequence. Perhaps the most important option in this entire effect is the first property, Conversion Type. The Color Profile Converter effect is a renamed version of the Color Profile effect, which was used prior to After Effects CS3, when a color management system was introduced.
