The Academy Color Encoding System

The Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) is a standardized framework for managing color in film and video production. It ensures consistent and accurate color reproduction across different devices and workflows by using a common digital color space. ACES captures, preserves, and transforms color information from cameras to post-production and viewing, maintaining visual fidelity. This reduces color mismatches and simplifies editing, color grading, and sharing across various platforms, ultimately resulting in a more seamless and reliable film-making process.
