Setting Project Colour Space

The project colour space is the colour space of the project you are working in. You can specify the colour space of the project in the Project Properties dialog. All projects you import will convert to the colour space selected in this dialog.

You can select the project colour space in the Project Properties dialog.

  1. Select Storyboard in the top menu.

  2. Select Properties...

  3. In the Colour Space field, select a colour space for your project.

    The Colour Space options are listed below.

  • ACES2065-1: An ACES linear colour space that uses the AP0 colour primaries and is intended for image file interchange.

  • ACEScg: An ACES linear colour space that uses the AP1 colour primaries and is intended for CGI rendering and compositing.

  • Linear Rec.709 (sRGB):The colour space that uses the same primaries and white point as sRGB and Rec. 709, but with no gamma transfer curve applied to the colour values.

  • Linear Rec. 2020: A colour space used for Ultra High Definition TV (UHDTV). It has a complex gamma transfer curve and primaries that cover more of the human-perceivable colour space than other colour spaces, especially in the area of human-perceivable greens.

  • Linear P3-D65: The same as Display P3, except with no gamma transfer curve. This colour space is useful for compositing intermediary images that are meant to be rendered in Display P3.

  • Display P3: A colour space commonly used for digital projection. It has the same primaries as DCI-P3, the same white point as sRGB and the same gamma transfer curve as sRGB.

  • Rec. 709: The colour space used for HDTV. It has the same primaries and white point as sRGB, but has a different gamma transfer curve.

  • Rec. 709 2.4: The same colour space as Rec. 709 or sRGB, except with a gamma transfer curve of 2.4 (per ITU-R BT.1886). This colour space exists because some editing systems use a gamma transfer curve of 2.4 instead of the standard gamma curve for Rec. 709.

  • Rec. 2020: A colour space used for Ultra High Definition TV (UHDTV). It has a complex gamma transfer curve and primaries that cover more of the human-perceivable colour space than other colour spaces, especially in the area of human-perceivable greens.

  • Rec. 2020 2.4: The same colour space as Rec. 2020, except with a simple gamma transfer curve of 2.4 (per ITU-R BT.1886). This colour space exists because some editing systems use a gamma transfer curve of 2.4 instead of the standard gamma curve for Rec. 2020.

  • sRGB: A colour space typically used for standard computer monitors. It has the same primaries and white point as Rec. 709, but has a different gamma transfer curve.
