Technical Matters

  • GPU:

    • Dennis published a followon PR to Gary's PR (#140)

    • Dennis will add Pierre and Paul Miller to his, Gary add them to his ("revisionfx" and "fxtech")

  • Dennis will add a note about private extensions, which should always use vendor prefixes (`com.example`)

  • Doc updates: Gary pointed out that there are instructions for building the docs locally in the Documentation folder. Use a python virtualenv.

  • PropChoice: Gary to update doc and add to examples

  • Color updates:

    • The remaining discussion is mostly around what strings should we use for color space names?

    • Core: ACEScg, ACEScc, etc.

    • Studio config: core + common camera & utility

    • Full OCIO: studio + OCIO

    • decide on Rohit's suggestion of custom color spaces

    • It was pointed out that several other ASWF projects are working on this same topic. We should consult with other projects on a common list of names.

    • What about "role" names? -- generic scene linear etc.

      • Are those sufficient?

    • Dennis will propose an ad-hoc meeting of all the ASWF color people to sync on progress

    • Test things out between Mocha & Silhouette

    • Rohit would like to engage again after NAB; his main idea was a custom linear color space, but we should not wait for that at this point.

    • There was some discussion of the ongoing Slack channel discussion w/ other ASWF projects

    • Can we discuss w/ Carol Payne? Doug Walker too?

    • Can we use ACES names or do we have to depend on OCIO?

    • Alex F is the ACES side person to talk to

    • We're already aligned with what the other groups are doing, says J-P

    • Question: Does it include log formats? Yes, at least ACEScc and ACEScct\

  • LUT generator/No Spatial Awareness: no progress yet, will report next month

  • Param interpolation: Pierre has ideas, but nothing formal yet. He and Paul will report next month.

  • Metadata Suite: in early discussions, but nothing formal, discussion ongoing in Slack. Paul will start a discussion in a new standard change request.

    • What about still frames re: clip's source filename?

    • Dennis is concerned about complexity: need to keep the first version simple, then see what additional needs there are.

  • Can we release 1.5 by Siggraph?

    • We'll need release notes: Gary will do that

    • promotion: ASWF, and where else?

    • Case study with host & plugin? This would be good for a speaking arrangement

    • could use blurbs from hosts: GPU support, etc. -- especially which hosts are supporting the new features

    • Can we get color in? J-P thinks we can, if we can get to consensus.

    • Another reason to do an announcement is that it helps us to invite others (e.g. for metadata)

Organizational Matters

  • None

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