Project description

Build StatusCoverage StatusCode Health

Converts between common ASC CDL formats. The American Society of Cinematographers Color Decision List (ASC CDL, or CDL for short) is a schema to simplify the process of interchanging color data between various programs and facilities.

The ASC has defined schemas for including the 10 basic numbers in 5 different formats:

  • Avid Log Exchange (ALE)

  • Film Log EDL Exchange (FLEx)

  • CMX EDL

  • XML Color Correction (cc)

  • XML Color Correction Collection (ccc)

Unofficial Formats:

  • OCIOCDLTransform, a Foundry Nuke node

  • Space separated CDL, a Rhythm & Hues internal cdl format

It is the purpose of CDL Convert to convert ASC CDL information between these basic formats to further facilitate the ease of exchange of color data within the Film and TV industries.

CDL Convert is not associated with the American Society of Cinematographers

Conversions

Currently we support converting from:

  • ALE

  • CC

  • FLEx

  • CDL

To:

  • Space Separated CDL

With support for both from and to expanding in the future.

Code

Development uses Git Flow model.
