Problem with the Content-Aware Fill tool in ACES (color mismatch)

Hi,
This is the first time that I have to work in a linear ACES workflow, and I'm a bit confused. I want to use the Content-Aware Fill tool but I'm having issues.

Context: I'm working with an .exr footage, I have some VFX to do, and I later have to deliver the compositions in ACEScg.
Problem: I seem to have correctly color managed the clip using the OCIO Color Space Transform tool effect (Sony S-log3 ⇢ ACEScg). I then try using the Content-Aware Fill tool, but the result is unusable: the colors are off. I assume that I have to apply an OCIO Color Space Transform on the Fill Layer as well, but I can't seem to find the right color space input/output. I'm probably missing something here.

 

Any idea how I can solve this? Thank you.

Project Settings



I'm running on a MacMini M2 Pro 32Go. After Effects version 23.5.0 (Build 52).

Hi there,

 

Sorry for the delayed response. Could you share more details? What are the details of the media? What version of After Effects are you using? Are you macOS or Windows?

Let me know.


Thanks,
Nishu

Windows 11. With the last version of After Effects. In the date, probabily it was the previous version
