## Academy Color Encoding System Core Transforms ##

[![CLA assistant](https://cla-assistant.io/readme/badge/ampas/aces-dev)](https://cla-assistant.io/ampas/aces-dev)

The Academy Color Encoding System (ACES) is a set of components that facilitates a wide range of motion picture and television workflows while eliminating the ambiguity of legacy file formats.  The system is designed to support both all-digital and hybrid film-digital motion picture workflows.

In ACES 2.0, the basic ACES components are divided across a few individual repositories:

* This repository (`aces-core`) houses the core transforms for ACES.

* A set of preset Output Transforms to common outputs are tracked at [aces-output](https://github.com/ampas/aces-output), along with reference images that can be used to verify the output of each transform

* Input Transforms are tracked at  [aces-input-and-colorspaces](https://github.com/ampas/aces-input-and-colorspaces)

* Look Transforms are collected in [aces-look](https://github.com/ampas/aces-look)

* AMF schema and example files can be found at [aces-amf](https://github.com/ampas/aces-amf)

* Documentation is written in markdown and tracked at [aces-docs](https://github.com/ampas/aces-docs). It is published using mkdocs to [ACEScentral](docs.acescentral.com).

Regular snapshots of the entire system bundled, tagged and can be downloaded from [aces](https://github.com/ampas/aces).
