Input Rules assign a default Input Colour Space, based on filetype and filename. When you select a preset Colour Policy, at project creation, the Input Rules associated with the profile are automatically populated. Input rules are applied in top down priority.
To create a new input rule:
- From the Input Rules table of the Colour Management tab of the Project Settings menu, click Add.
- Click the Rule Name field and enter a rule name.
- Click the Extension field and enter a file extension, to which the rule will be applied. It is possible to use Regular Expressions as Extension. For example: [Mm][Oo][Vv] (QuickTime).
- Click the Pattern field and enter a naming pattern, to which the rule will be applied. It is possible to use Regular Expressions as Patterns. Note that the whole file path is used for the matching operation. So it is possible to use a pattern contained in a sub-directory name as part of the regular expression. For example: *[Ll][Oo][Gg][Cc]* (LogC).
- Select an Input Colour Space from the Input Colour Space drop-down menu.
