While I can of course appreciate his efforts to put out this content I think there are two points that he didn’t adress properly.
1. In his IDT example for a Rec.709 source he uses Gamma 2.4 Rec.709 - Texture and claims that it looks correct. In compositing context this is a lot more nuanced and with the use case he presents (fire stock footage), picking the inverse ODT was probably a more suitable option.
2. In his render settings he again presents an example where you bake the ODT for preview/finishing but picks Gamma 2.4 Rec.709 - Texture as the output rather than a display transform.
His video starts with a title mentioning “Unscripted” but it would’ve been nice to do it with a bit more preparation and care

Thanks @Shebbe for reviewing and commenting. Community input and discussion is exactly why ACESCentral exists and why you and others who are here are so helpful and important.
