Converts between common ASC Color Decision List (CDL) formats
Project description
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

With support for both from and to expanding in the future.
Installation
Installing is as simple as using pip:
$ pip install cdl_convert
If you don’t want to bother with a pip style install, you can alternatively grab cdl_convert/cdl_convert.py, As this file is the script and all the functions and classes needed.
Usage
If you just want to convert to a .cc XML file, the only required argument is an input file, like so:
$ cdl_convert ./di_v001.flex
You can override the default .cc output, or provide multiple outputs with the -o flag.
$ cdl_convert ./di_v001.flex -o cc,cdl
Full help is available with --help
