The Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) is a set of components that facilitates a wide range of motion picture and television workflows while eliminating the ambiguity of legacy file formats. The system is designed to support both all-digital and hybrid film-digital motion picture workflows.
In ACES 2.0, the basic ACES components are divided across a few individual repositories:
- This repository (
aces-core) houses the core transforms for ACES. - A set of preset Output Transforms to common outputs are tracked at aces-output, along with reference images that can be used to verify the output of each transform
- Input Transforms are tracked at aces-input-and-colorspaces
- Look Transforms are collected in aces-look
- AMF schema and example files can be found at aces-amf
- Documentation is written in markdown and tracked at aces-docs. It is published using mkdocs to ACEScentral.
Regular snapshots of the entire system bundled, tagged and can be downloaded from aces.
The full code history of the ACES pre-2.0 remains in the commit history of this repository and can be accessed by checking out the relevant branch and/or tagged commit to view the transforms at that previous version.
Tagged versions of ACES can be browsed in the tag history, including ACES version 1.3
Color Transformation Language (CTL) can be downloaded from https://github.com/ampas/CTL
