Baselight to Nuke BLG tutorial

Hi all,

I made a small roundtrip tutorial for BLGs from Baselight to Nuke.
I am working on all my films in ACES or an ACES flavour and usually with BLG files for the VFX departments. In the past I have invited the VFX sups of the different facilities and explained them how ACES and the BLGs work (If it was new to them). So this video hopefully helps some of you guys to implement that awesome plugin from Baselight in your pipeline.
Thanks. Have fun.

The tutorial is kept very simple. Here are some additional details on ACES:

The Academy has defined ACES Linear AP0 as ACES exchange format and not ACEScg. However it may be simpler in practice to deliver VFX shots in ACEScg because it reduces complexity on the VFX vendors side.

The main difference between VFX grading on a projector and VFX pregrading on a monitor is that on a monitor you are closer to the viewing condition of the compositing artist (dim surround and active display).

If other DRTs than the ACES RRT are used, it is not 100% ACES complient but still workflow parts of the ACES Framework can be used.
