Input Transform Tool

The Input Transform tool allows you to convert from an input colour space to a working colour space (or vice versa). The Input Transform tool in Timeline or Batch is equivalent to the Auto Convert mode in MediaHub.

To use the Input Transform tool:

Select a destination working colour space from the Working Space menu. Choose "From Project" to have the working space set automatically from the project default.
Select a source or input colour space from the Input Space menu. Choose "From Source" to have the input space set automatically from the tagging of the input clip.

Note: By choosing the Working Space first, the list of Input Space options will be filtered to show you options that are most compatible with the given working space. For example, pairs of colour spaces that would not require a view transform as part of the conversion.

By enabling the Invert button, you are able to convert from a working space back to an input space. This is useful when you need to deliver material in the same colour space as the original.

The metadata panel on the right provides detailed information about the colour processing operators that will be used to perform the requested transformation.

Adding a LUT as a User-defined Input Colour Space

By choosing "+Add New" from the Input Colour Space menu, you may add your own LUT (or colour transform) as a User Colour Space. When you do this, a copy of your LUT will be made so that it will get Archived and Wired with any media that uses it.

The following information must be provided:

Transform File box: Browse to select the LUT or colour transform file to use for your new colour space.
Transform Name box: Enter the name you want to see in menus for this new colour space.
Destination Colour Space menu: Choose the colour space that your LUT outputs. This allows the system to calculate the transform needed to connect your LUT to any of the Working colour spaces. If you choose "Raw", the system will not apply any conversion after your LUT (the result will simply be tagged with whatever the selected Working space is).
