OCIOCDLTransform

Applies an ASC CDL (American Society of Cinematographers Color Decision List) grade based on the OpenColorIO Library. For more information, see https://opencolorio.org.

Note:  There are a number of NDK examples covering OCIO workflows that ship with the Nuke developer documentation, which can be found here:

Inputs and Controls

Connection Type

Connection Name

Function

Input

unnamed

The image sequence to receive the CDL transform.

mask

An optional image to use as a mask. By default, the CDL transform is limited to the non-black areas of the mask.

At first, the mask input appears as a triangle on the right side of the node, but when you drag it, it turns into an arrow labeled mask. If you cannot see the mask input, ensure that the mask control is disabled or set to none.

Control (UI)

Knob (Scripting)

Default Value

Function

OCIOCDLTransform Tab

channels

channels

rgb

The CDL transform is applied only to these channels.

If you set this to something other than all or none, you can use the checkboxes on the right to select individual channels.

slope

slope

1

Adjusts the gain for the entire image.

offset

offset

0

Adjusts the offset for the entire image.

power

power

1

Adjusts the gamma for the entire image.

saturation

saturation

1

Adjusts the saturation for the entire image.

direction

direction

forward

Select Inverse to invert the transform.

working space

working_space

linear

Sets the color space in which the file is applied. The input is transformed from scene linear to the selected working space, the file color transform is applied, and then the result is transformed back to scene linear.

read from file

read_from_file

disabled

Enable this to load color correction information from a .cc or .ccc file.

file

file

none

The ASC CDL file to use for the transform. This can be a .cc or .ccc file.

cccid

cccid

none

If the ASC CDL file is a .ccc (Color Correction Collection) file, specify the cccid to look up here.

select cccid

select_cccid

N/A

Click to open the cccid dialog and select the cccid from the dropdown menu.

You can view the Slope, Offset, Power and Saturation settings for the chosen .ccc from within this dialog. These cannot be modified.

export grade as .cc

export_cc

N/A

Exports the grade as a .cc (Color Correction) file.

mask

N/A

disabled

Enables the associated mask channel to the right. Disabling this checkbox is the same as setting the channel to none.

maskChannelInput

none

The channel to use as a mask. By default, the colorspace conversion is limited to the non-black areas of this channel.

inject

inject

disabled

Copies the mask input to the predefined mask.a channel. Injecting the mask allows you to use the same mask further downstream.

invert

invert_mask

disabled

Inverts the use of the mask channel so that the colorspace conversion is limited to the non-white areas of the mask

fringe

fringe

disabled

When enabled, only apply the effect to the edge of the mask.

When disabled, the effect is applied to the entire mask.

(un)premult by

N/A

disabled

Enables the associated channel to the right. Disabling this checkbox is the same as setting the channel to none.

unpremult

none

The image is divided by this channel before being processed, and multiplied again afterwards.

If you are using premultiplied input images, you may want to check (un)premult by and select rgba.alpha here. This will simulate doing the color conversion before the premultiplication was done. It is the same as adding an Unpremult node before this node and a Premult node after, but allows you to work faster if you’re only using one color correct node.

If you are using unpremultiplied input images, you should leave this set to none.

invert

invert_unpremult

disabled

Inverts the use of the (un)premultiply channel.

mix

mix

1

Dissolves between the original image at 0 and the full colorspace conversion at 1.
