Webinar: ACES ‘101’: Standards-based Color Managed Workflows
You can view this webinar courtesy of SMPTE below

00:00 SMPTE announcements and housekeeping
05:30 ACES 101 Program Start
06:50 What is Color Management?
19:20 What is ACES?
42:30 Current and Future of ACES
52:40 Panel Discussion
We also encourage you to discuss topics presented or ask questions here:
The widespread use of HDR in production and the demand for future-proof digital masters for delivery and archiving have increased the need for digital color management systems. The Academy Color Encoding System (ACES), is the only standards-based, end-to-end color management system that is non-proprietary and free to use.
Join SMPTE Director of Education Joel E. Welch and Industry experts as they explain and discuss ACES fundamentals, applicable SMPTE standards, and how they can help you better design standards-based production equipment and workflows.
Webinar is free, but you must Register on SMPTE site https://aces.mp/smpteaces101

Also, this is where we’ll eventually post the deck and possibly the link after it’s had its initial run on the SMPTE site.
Thanks for putting on the ACES 101 Webinar – I had a question that didn’t make it and wanted to ask here. I think it might be best direct at @Annie since she had the slide talking about versions:
Do you see an “end state” to ACES where the time frame between versions grows to years? It seems from the outside that if there are constantly new versions, ACES remains a never finished project that can’t gain true traction.
Hi Matt,
Thanks for joining the webinar and for your first post. I’ll defer to Annie, but may join the conversation on this topic further down the line.

Thanks for your input on the v2.0 rollout. We haven’t definitively decided that there will be rolling versions 2.0, 2.1, 2.2 in short order, and if we did it that way, it would be phased so that it would have minimal impact on our partners. We’re working with our Product Partners to get them involved in the process early and to try to align our development schedule with theirs in an effort to get stable products to market. ACES was basically stable for approx three years, before we released V1.2.
We think V2.0 will likely arrive in 2021 so that’s another stable year. There are lots of people using ACES, and we’re trying to make it a better experience. This is partially the reason why we have the Implementation Working Groups - this gives our implementers a heads up on what’s being developed so they can also integrate into their development roadmaps.
Best way for you to help is to 1) join a VWG if you have a passion about something 2) encourage the Product Partners and other vendors that you rely on to catch up on their ACES implementations.
Found this very helpful as I begin my journey of learning color grading as a student, it’s refreshing to see how we get to spend less time in color correction & be fully focused on color grading using this framework. I found out about this webinar via Linkedin. Thank you!
Piyush,
