Hey there,

I find it super hard to find proper workthrough on C4D Octane > AE. I use Camera Imager with Aces tone mapping on and exporting 32 Bit Open EXR.

Then in AE, I do open color io, color profile converter to srgb, but it's not correct when compared to redshift.

What's the proper way to export with aces?

The only workflow that seems to work for me is...


1. In Octane Render Settings, set Color Profile to ACES
2. Save as EXR 16 or 32
3. Import to AE
4. Use OpenColor IO Plugin
5. Change Color Profile from ACES to RGB

does that sound correct? I don't have Nuke or Fusion and think AE is still widely used in the industry?
