Hello! Would love some advice / insight on ACEs within AE. I work with CG and VFX all done in ACES CG, that works fine, looks good, blah blah blah. But the second I try to bring in or create graphics on top, I start to get aliasing once I put the input color space to be sRBG (so I can get the right brand colors and pure whites).

 

As of now I've been working around that by doing any comp / CG work in an ACES project, and then making an alt project that's rec709 or srgb to add graphics on top with prerenders. Obviously, this adds an extra step so I'm wondering what I'm doing wrong here.

 

The weird thing is if you view the Color Space transformed graphics over an empty background, the type looks clean (see the first screenshot). Is this something anyones dealing with or Adobe is aware of?

I've even tried using the alpha of the non-color space transformed graphic as a matte and that still looks chunky.

 

This happens all the time and curious if anyone has a workaround.

 

Added a close up of the color space transformed text over footage vs over empty pixels so you can see the difference better.

I think this is because you are using an Output sRGB transform as the input.
Try using the Utility sRGB transform instead.
