Conformed Color Prep
Files to be delivered to Honest Labor:
ProRes 4444 Quicktime for each timeline
Connect to the camera RAW source files. DO NOT use lower res/ transcoded proxies
Remove any filters from your edit that would affect color. (Brightness, Contrast, Color correctors, LUTs, etc.)
Remove any elements not to be graded. This includes text, slates, subtitles, graphics, overlays and FX
Remove dips to black, fades, transitions and effect/overlays. (For any shots that have transitions, add enough handles of the shot needed as these shots will have to be re-conformed once delivered back)
EDL for each conformed timeline
Before creating anEDL, collapse all layers down into one video layer
Reference Quicktime for each approved edit that matches picture locked timeline with graphics, sound and working color for reference
Prep is due by 4pm the business day prior to session
