How to color grade for blue or green chroma?

Grading for vfx heavy projects is different than regular color workflow.

Key steps to follow -

1 ) Conform your edit in timeline and export the LOG to Linear Rec709.

NOTE- Fix the blue/green chroma if required to assist the chroma keying for vfx.

2) Set your look according to the vfx elements working closely with art direction/d.o.p/director for primary and secondary color grading.

3) Get file VFX comp and alpha mattes of all the shots for grading post VFX.

4) Final color grading.

(Choose any formats .exr or apple pro res 4444 for the workflow.)
