Hello!
I am new to the forum and also a new Alexa 35 owner.
I'm a filmmaker who edits and VFXs my work. In the past, I would make hard exports (ProRes4444, for example) of a portion of footage I needed to VFX.
I would bring it into After Effects, reexport it, and drop it back into my Resolve timeline.
My question is: Can I still do this? Or is there something specific I need to know when working with the new color space, etc?
I fear I'll do this, then hand it to my colorist, and the color is entirely off.
Of course, if I use Fusion within Resolve, that would be fine because it's not a hard edit. But I'm just starting with Fusion, and with a looming deadline, I'll probably want to jump over to After Effects.
How to VFX this new 35 footage?

Hi,
if ProRes4444 is okay for your VFX work you can of course export ProRes4444 in LogC4/AWG4 and work in that color space, but most VFX facilities are working with OpenEXR / Scene Linear in AWG4 or ACES color space.
With our free ARRI Reference Tool it's possible to transcode into both ProRes4444(XQ) and OpenEXR.
Concerning Color Space Transformations within Adobe After Effects it's worth taking a look into OCIO.

ARRI offers an OCIO plugin for LogC4/AWG4:
