One of the best intermediate/advanced tutorials I've watched concerning round trip compositing. I'd give it three thumbs up if I had a third hand (which I could probably accomplish with round-trip compositing, lol). Cheers!
Awesome tutorial Chad - even though I can do things like these probably blindfolded at this point of my 20 yr long career, I watched whole thing, your pace of teaching is very good and it was pretty nice to follow along.
According to Aces docs . One should be using aces Ap0 / linear exports for “transport” to other studio/artist and not Aces CG or Ap1. While acesCG should be used in compositing. This got me all sorts of trouble since grading studio uses baselight with aces AP0 / linear , my shots always looked wrong.
ACEScg is great, because it allows one to standardize what is generating the source footage, and then any ACES version complaint app can manipulate it using it's own tools, and output back in an identical ACES format so there is no cross application contamination. With that said I'm a huge fan of DWA formats, but it should be pointed out that they are technically lossy formats, but the loss is so imperceptible vs the file size saving that it is absolutely worth it unless one is planning to do 50+ iterations of the process, which is so unlikely that it's almost a laughable counter argument when one is working from first or even second generation footage; however, one should be aware of it if the purpose is an archival clip one means to reuse multiple times in the future. If that's the case then one might, and by this I mean rarely, want to work with one of the EXR lossless compressions.
Photoshop is cool, but I'm not a fan of adobe and their business leadership. I'm trying to do as much as I can in tools that support creatives - like affinity and blackmagic.
@@CreativeVideoTips Oh I was Adobian early when Macromedia was king... I was on Adobe Premiere 4.0, Photoshop 5 to teaching it collegiately in 2015. I bucked the subscription system. I used Corel for minute. Yes, its good and still around. So happy Affinity came around ...
What is the advantage of using Affininty over Fusion's paint tools? Great video by the way. Also, please make a video about setting up a fusion render farm.
Both methods are valid - some people are more fluent in paint tools in Fusion, so people like to use more automated tools like Patch Tool, Healing Brush etc.

@@TheRealBarkinMadd hey thanks so much! Feel free to share with any comp friends

Excellent video. I like it because it touches many aspects of postproduction, well explained and in a pleasant way. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm sure this of great value to people who have any idea of what it is about. I've done a bit of DaVinci Resolve editing but have never heard of ACES.
Thx 4 a great tutorial! I’ll be clicking that subscribe button like a mad cow ❤

I love your stuff and thanks for all you do, but boy oh boy this patch replacement stuff is ten times easier in After Effects.

What settings do you start with in Project Settings/Color Mangement?
I am glad to see you are using Affinity software. Why did you use it over Photoshop which it looks like you have.

Nitpick: This video should have been called “Acing ACES”. 😅
