Question

OCIO Prores MOV files spontaneously changed to ACES2065-1 interpretation inside a saved project?

This is a weird one.

We have a couple of projects that are in ACES, we're using Prores stock footage.

Around 20-28th August something happened and all our projects just changed the Prores Mov files color space in OCIO from sRGB Color Picker (that we assigned) back to default Aces2065-1.

It gets weirder.

We're talking about a project on 20th that I worked on, saved (I always save before rendering), then rendered out.

Now I open the project a week later and it's all wrong.

The rendered files from that project rendered fine on the 20th - now the same project - that has NOT been saved after those renders - is wrong. All Prores MOV files are changed to ACES2065-1.

ONLY Prores mov files changed - we have some Photo JPEG Mov files that kept their sRGB interpretations.

It is bizarre - correctly saved projects changed their content.

I thought that maybe the act of opening the project file does the mess, but if I open the same project file but from 18th August - all the Prores interpretations are still sRGB so nothing changed.

I'm not even asking for a solution - just a question, has anyone encountered this?

OK, new information.

There was a version missmatch between machines.

A project was saved in 23.6.6 and opened in 23.4.

The 23.4 openend the project properly nothing changed, but then the project was resaved inside 23.4

When we opened the new project back inside 23.6.6 - all the prores insterpretations switched back to Aces 2065-1.

Probably something the devs should have a look at since this behaviour is very dangerous in a bigger production and even if we try to maintain the same versions on all machines - we can't guarantie it at all times 😕😕
