Meeting called to order at 11:00am EST.
Technical Matters
- We should plan to attend the ASWF Town Hall and/or Open Source Days event at SIGGRAPH. Pierre will be there in person. J-P will moderate the next meeting June 4th, in Gary's absence
- Bytes param is in Silhouette; Paul Miller will add a PR
- Is now implemented in both Silhouette (host) and Mocha Pro (plug-in)
- Older versions of Silhouette will not return an error if a plug-in attempts to use a bytes param
- Paul will add an example plugin
- Color:
- Doug Walker left some great feedback on the PR; J-P will address
- Gary has an example nearly ready (with text-drawing on the image to identify the requested and actual colorspace)
- Pierre has concerns re: log spaces and 16 bit; this was discussed.
- Action item: should we have a way for clip preferences to specify different color spaces for different bit depths? J-P will investigate.
- Action item: host must send InstanceChanged if clip color space changes
- Pierre noted that we should have a separate project related to color: color params don't have a well defined color space.
- Maybe ColorParamV2: in a well-defined color space, with a transform function to clip color space
- OCIO has a "color picking space"
- Mikki: do we really have to deal with it? Discussion followed.
- Clip metadata, binary data (bytes): issue 145 https://github.com/AcademySoftwareFoundation/openfx/issues/145
- Metadata suite: discussion stagnated... please review, all: #142
- It was decided that Byte params will be step animated, and hosts must support step animation for bytes.
- Q from Pierre: should boolean param "optionality of animation" be moved to old, i.e. deprecated? Pierre will create an issue.
- NAB meeting: Windows ARM: arm64 vs. Arm64EC. The EC variant will be more common
- Gary will propose a standard change
- Parallels VM on Mac kind of works for this
- Theoretically, an Arm64EC host will load Intel plugins
- Bytes param is in Silhouette; Paul Miller will add a PR
Organizational Matters
- , which should set and validate a block of data that has nulls in the middle, and also handle the case when a host doesn't support the bytes param
- Doc update should mention that the size of the data could be different on each keyframe, and shouldn't be interpolated
- The bytes param should be mandatory for 1.5, and a host support property is required
- Colour management:
- Extensive discussion of the use of OCIO roles in the spec led to a decision that we should stop using the legacy roles, and add a new OFX-specific one for log. J-P to run this past Doug Walker for comment
- Phil had not realised that the plug-in output colourspace was under the control of the plug-in. This needs a doc update to be clearer - Phil will write a note on the PR with the changes he thinks are needed
- Metadata:
- It would be nice to have a property suite v2 with introspection to determine the property type.
- Paul will rev the spec to add this.
- Boolean animation:
- The isSupported property for this should be deprecated because all hosts support it.
Organizational Matters
- J-P found he was unable to edit Confluence to record the minutes. Gary to follow up with John Mertic to make sure at least J-P and Pierre can edit - this has now been fixed.

Next month's meeting will be at the usual date and time. We will find a time for an upcoming meeting that works for APAC folks e.g. BlackMagic.
