Example of a Possible CDL Workflow

To facilitate the transfer of colour intent from the production to the post-production world, many productions do on-set grading. This means that simple colour grading is done at the same time as production. Here is a simplified sequence of events explaining the process:

• Production is shooting content on film or digital.
• Film is processed.
• Film is scanned.
• DPX files are copied to FireWire^® drive for production.
• Colourist on set uses third party application to grade DPX.
• CDL data is created (as EDL comment or XML files).
• Post facility receives CDL and starts dailies grading/preview or DI based on CDL (on-set) intention.
• Offline editorial receives dailies for editorial.
• EDL are generated for conform.
• Colour grading process starts.
