Prepare the edit.
Protect the grade.
Choose your editing system, follow its handoff steps, and get to color with the right source image and the editorial choices already in place.
Prepare / Conform / Grade01 / Start a turnover
What are you editing in?
Orange Juice grades in DaVinci Resolve Studio. Choose your system for its detailed turnover checklist.
02 / Preferred conform route
Use Conform.tools to protect the edit you already made.
- Premiere Pro to DaVinci Resolve
- Avid to DaVinci Resolve (beta)
For a Premiere-to-Resolve source-media turnover, Conform.tools Timeline Exchange is Orange Juice’s preferred route. It carries over editorial work that a basic XML or AAF can miss, including retimes, reframes/zooms, blend modes, and scale-to-frame-size settings. Avid-to-Resolve is also in beta. Check with us before you send that route.
03 / Your workflow
Premiere Pro → Resolve
Premiere Pro can reach Resolve through Conform.tools Timeline Exchange or a traditional XML handoff. Choose the route before building your color-prep timeline: Timeline Exchange is preferred when you want to carry more of the editorial work into Resolve; XML remains the conventional route when prepared carefully.
What you will send
- Timeline Exchange: Premiere project or XML
- H.265 / ProRes LT technical reference
- Consolidated, trimmed, or media-managed original source media
- Turnover note + color information
Choose a route
Decide how the edit will reach color.
Preferred route
Conform.tools Timeline Exchange
Choose this when you want more of the editorial work to carry from Premiere into Resolve. It is especially useful when an HD edit will finish in UHD, because the editorial positioning can come across without first rebuilding the Premiere sequence at UHD.
Traditional route
XML + source-media package
Choose this conventional route only after confirming the finishing raster. For a UHD finish from an HD Premiere edit, create a UHD color-prep sequence and review every raster-dependent scale, position, crop, reframe, keyframe, and effect before exporting XML.
Flag before prep: Let Orange Juice know before you package if the edit includes mixed frame rates or rasters, vertical or square formats, mobile or screen-recorded clips with variable frame rates, social/online captures, or mixed color spaces. These can affect timing, scaling, color interpretation, or relinking.
Technical reference
Make this from the editorial timeline first.
Burn in timeline/record timecode, source timecode, source clip name/file name, and embed audio. Match its duration and raster to the timeline.
Reference clip: If you like how the edit looks, let the reference clip preserve the viewing transform, look LUT, editorial color, and anything else you were seeing in the edit. This reference is not the grading source. It lets us confirm the conform lines up with the edit, including timing, dissolves, keyframes, and reframes. For conform and media management, send camera-native, scene-referred media, typically the original Log media, or camera-native linear EXRs on a specialist job.
Prepare timeline
Make a separate color-prep timeline.
- Duplicate the locked sequence and name the new version clearly for color. Keep one video track where possible; two is the normal maximum.
- Flatten nests and multicams where practical. Remove or flag temp graphics, unused material, Dynamic Link shots, editorial color corrections, look LUTs, display transforms, and temporary or third-party effects. Document anything that needs to survive into finishing.
- Keep retimes, reframes, stabilizations, and intended transitions, but flag them for review. Traditional XML may require these details to be checked or rebuilt in Resolve.
- For a specialist multi-track conform, label every video track and provide a separate EDL per video track.
- Replace proxies with the intended original source media, or document the proxy/source relationship. Keep the original file name and source timecode available even when editorial clip labels are used.
Keep the trail intact: Do not rename, replace, or bake over original camera media. Friendly editorial clip names are fine when the source filename and source timecode remain available. Flag missing, duplicate, or unusual source timecode rather than guessing. Keep proxy and transcode relationships traceable to the original file.
Conform & media
Choose the route that protects the edit.
Important: HD edit, UHD finish
Premiere’s framing can be tied to the timeline raster.
If an HD Premiere sequence is reframed, scaled, cropped, or keyframed, simply changing it to UHD later can alter those editorial choices. For a traditional XML turnover that will finish in UHD, create a UHD color-prep sequence and review those settings before export. Timeline Exchange is the preferred route because it can carry the HD editorial positioning into Resolve without first rebuilding the Premiere sequence at UHD.
Preferred route
Conform.tools Timeline Exchange + i2o
Use this complete Conform.tools route when you want Resolve to receive more of the editorial work already in your Premiere timeline and have the source package managed for delivery.
- Start with a color-ready Premiere sequence relinked to the original source media.
- Send the agreed Premiere project or XML through Timeline Exchange for a Resolve .drt handoff.
- Use i2o Smart Transfer to build the managed source-media package and send it through the Conform.tools pipeline.
- It is built to carry over retimes, reframes/zooms, blend modes, scale-to-frame-size settings, and other details that basic interchange can miss.
Conform.tools account: Timeline Exchange requires a free account and uses pay-as-you-go pricing. Conform.tools is a separate vendor; Orange Juice is not affiliated with it.
Traditional route
XML + source-media package
XML is the conventional handoff. Send it with the agreed trimmed, consolidated, media-managed, or full-original source package.
- Premiere and Resolve do not interpret every edit in the same way.
- Dissolves, keyframed reframes, speed changes, transitions, blend modes, and effects may need to be checked or rebuilt in Resolve.
Allow conform time. Orange Juice will match the edit as closely as possible within the agreed conform time. If the job needs to stay fast or lean, some details may be approximated. The technical reference is the visual check.
Media management
Send the source image, not the editorial look.
Source for color
Where available, send the original camera files at their native raster in their camera-native, scene-referred state. For most jobs, that means the original Log media, not a graded or display-referred export.
Prepare the package
Make the timeline color-ready and relink it to the originals before you manage media. Turn off editorial color corrections, look LUTs, display transforms, and temporary effects. Document any CDL, LUT, or effect that needs to be rebuilt.
Traditional media management
For the traditional XML route, use Premiere Project Manager as the agreed media-management method to create trimmed source media with the agreed handles, or provide full originals when that is safer. Keep the original source relationship intact.
Trimmed media: Use the agreed handles. For the Conform.tools route, i2o manages and delivers the package. For the XML route, deliver the completed package through the Orange Juice upload method in Step 5.
Package & deliver
Complete the handoff for the route you chose.
Conform.tools route
Timeline Exchange handles the Resolve timeline, and i2o Smart Transfer manages and delivers the source package through Conform.tools. You do not need a separate Orange Juice upload link.
Traditional route
Ask Orange Juice for a private upload link when the package is ready. It accepts up to 200 GB per upload. For larger packages, ask about the extended pay-as-you-go transfer option.
Your delivery folder should contain
- Conform.tools output package or agreed XML/AAF
- Technical reference movie
- Consolidated, trimmed, or media-managed original source media
- Turnover note with project/version, color information, and known exceptions
For an Orange Juice upload (not i2o): Once prepared, do not rename or move media within the package. Use clear folders for TIMELINE, MEDIA, REFERENCE, COLOR ASSETS, and NOTES.
Turnover note: Include the project/version, designated timeline, frame rate, raster, camera/log color spaces, CDLs/LUTs, delivery needs, known exceptions, and editorial contact.
What happens next
We check the turnover against your edit.
Ingest & check
We open the designated timeline, source media, color assets, and technical reference, then confirm the package is complete enough to begin the conform.
Conform & compare
We use the technical reference as the visual guide to check timing, source, framing, retimes, transitions, and the editorial intent carried into Resolve.
Confirm or flag
If the turnover is ready, we confirm that color can begin. If anything does not relink, translate, or match as expected, we flag it early and confirm the next move before spending conform time.
Avid Media Composer → Resolve
A clean AAF package and clear source metadata make the conform easier. Conform.tools Timeline Exchange also supports Avid-to-Resolve in beta. Check with Orange Juice before using that route.
What you will send
- AAF or agreed Conform.tools beta package
- H.265 / ProRes LT technical reference clip
- Consolidated, trimmed, or media-managed original source media
- Turnover note + tape/reel information
Choose a route
Decide how the edit will reach color.
Established route
AAF + source-media package
Choose this conventional Avid-to-Resolve route when the source/tape relationship is understood and you can provide an AAF with the agreed original-media package.
Beta route
Conform.tools Timeline Exchange
Use this Avid-to-Resolve beta route only when it is agreed with Orange Juice. It can translate the AAF for a Resolve-ready handoff and pair it with i2o Smart Transfer for managed media delivery.
Flag before prep: Let Orange Juice know before you package if the edit includes mixed frame rates or rasters, vertical or square formats, mobile or screen-recorded clips with variable frame rates, social/online captures, or mixed color spaces. These can affect timing, scaling, color interpretation, or relinking.
Technical reference
Make this from the editorial timeline first.
Burn in timeline/record timecode, source timecode, source clip name/file name, and embed audio. Match its duration and raster to the timeline.
Reference clip: If you like how the edit looks, let the reference clip preserve the viewing transform, look LUT, editorial color, and anything else you were seeing in the edit. This reference is not the grading source. It lets us confirm the conform lines up with the edit, including timing, dissolves, keyframes, and reframes. For conform and media management, send camera-native, scene-referred media, typically the original Log media, or camera-native linear EXRs on a specialist job.
Prepare timeline
Make a separate color-prep timeline.
- Create a dated color-prep bin and duplicate the sequence. Keep one video track where possible; two is the normal maximum for color turnover.
- Commit multicam edits where practical. Remove or flag temporary layers, unsupported effects, editorial color, display transforms, and material that cannot be simplified.
- Keep intended retimes, reframes, and composites, but flag them for review. For a specialist multi-track conform, label tracks and include an EDL for each video track.
- Relink or consolidate against the intended original camera media. Preserve tape/reel, source name, source timecode, and AMA/transcode relationships so each edit can be traced back to its source.
Keep the trail intact: Do not rename, replace, or bake over original camera media. Friendly editorial clip names are fine when the source filename and source timecode remain available. Flag missing, duplicate, or unusual source timecode rather than guessing. Keep tape/reel, source name, source timecode, and AMA/transcode relationships explicit.
Conform & media
Choose the route that protects the edit.
Conform.tools beta
Avid Timeline Exchange is an agreed beta route.
Confirm with Orange Juice before using it. AAF remains the established Avid interchange, and tape/reel, source-name, and source-timecode clarity are essential whichever route you choose.
Established route
AAF + source-media package
Use AAF as the primary Avid-to-Resolve interchange, with original media that preserves the documented source and tape relationship.
- Export the agreed AAF from the color-prep sequence.
- Supply ALE or EDL only when Orange Juice requests it for metadata or troubleshooting.
- Consolidate with the agreed handles, or provide full originals when that is safer. Do not transcode unless agreed.
Allow conform time. AAF does not guarantee that every layered edit, retime, composite, or effect will match Resolve exactly. The technical reference remains the visual check.
Beta route
Conform.tools Timeline Exchange + i2o
Use this only after Orange Juice confirms the beta workflow for the job. It gives Avid an additional Resolve-ready timeline path and a managed media-transfer option.
- Start with a color-ready Avid sequence relinked to the intended original source media.
- Send the agreed AAF through Timeline Exchange for the Resolve-ready handoff.
- Use i2o Smart Transfer with AAF or AVB plus any needed MOV, MXF, WAV, or R3D media to manage and send the source package.
Conform.tools account: Timeline Exchange and i2o require a free account and use pay-as-you-go pricing. Conform.tools is a separate vendor; Orange Juice is not affiliated with it.
Media management
Keep Avid’s source relationship intact.
Source for color
Send the original camera media at its native shooting raster in its camera-native, scene-referred state. Preserve tape/reel, source-name, and source-timecode information.
Prepare the package
Relink or re-sync the color-prep sequence to the intended source before managing media. Turn off editorial color and temporary effects, and document anything that needs to be rebuilt.
Established media management
For AAF, use the agreed consolidate workflow and handles, or provide full originals. For the beta route, i2o manages and delivers the package.
Trimmed media: Use the agreed handles. For an AAF package, deliver through the Orange Juice upload method in Step 5. For the agreed beta route, i2o manages and delivers the source package.
Package & deliver
Complete the handoff for the route you chose.
Conform.tools beta route
When Orange Juice has approved the beta workflow, Timeline Exchange handles the Resolve-ready timeline and i2o manages and delivers the source package through Conform.tools.
Established AAF route
Ask Orange Juice for a private upload link when the AAF and source package are ready. It accepts up to 200 GB per upload. For larger packages, ask about the extended pay-as-you-go transfer option.
Your delivery folder should contain
- AAF or agreed Conform.tools beta package
- Technical reference clip
- Consolidated, trimmed, or media-managed original source media
- Turnover note with tape/reel, source-name, and timecode information
For an Orange Juice upload (not i2o): Once prepared, do not rename or move media within the package. Use clear folders for TIMELINE, MEDIA, REFERENCE, COLOR ASSETS, and NOTES.
Turnover note: Include the project/version, designated timeline, frame rate, raster, camera/log color spaces, CDLs/LUTs, delivery needs, known exceptions, and editorial contact.
What happens next
We check the turnover against your edit.
Ingest & check
We open the designated timeline, source media, color assets, and technical reference, then confirm the package is complete enough to begin the conform.
Conform & compare
We use the technical reference as the visual guide to check timing, source, framing, retimes, transitions, and the editorial intent carried into Resolve.
Confirm or flag
If the turnover is ready, we confirm that color can begin. If anything does not relink, translate, or match as expected, we flag it early and confirm the next move before spending conform time.
DaVinci Resolve → Resolve
Resolve-to-Resolve is the most direct handoff. The project, media, color-management assets, and reference still need to point to the same timeline.
What you will send
- .drp project file or .drt for i2o
- H.265 / ProRes LT technical reference clip
- Consolidated, trimmed, or media-managed original source media
- Turnover note + color-management assets
Choose a route
Decide how the edit will reach color.
Direct Resolve route
.drp + source-media package
This is the most direct path. Send the designated Resolve project, its required color-management assets, and either the agreed trimmed media or full camera originals.
Managed transfer route
.drt + i2o Smart Transfer
Use i2o when the timeline and original source media need intelligent media management and delivery. It receives a Resolve .drt together with any needed media.
Flag before prep: Let Orange Juice know before you package if the edit includes mixed frame rates or rasters, vertical or square formats, mobile or screen-recorded clips with variable frame rates, social/online captures, or mixed color spaces. These can affect timing, scaling, color interpretation, or relinking.
Technical reference
Make this from the editorial timeline first.
Burn in timeline/record timecode, source timecode, source clip name/file name, and embed audio. Match its duration and raster to the timeline.
Reference clip: If you like how the edit looks, let the reference clip preserve the viewing transform, look LUT, editorial color, and anything else you were seeing in the edit. This reference is not the grading source. It lets us confirm the conform lines up with the edit, including timing, dissolves, keyframes, and reframes. For conform and media management, send camera-native, scene-referred media, typically the original Log media, or camera-native linear EXRs on a specialist job.
Prepare timeline
Make a separate color-prep timeline.
- Duplicate the project or timeline and identify the single timeline Orange Juice should grade. Keep the normal turnover to one video track where possible, two at most.
- State whether existing grades and node structures should be preserved, replaced, or ignored. Remove or flag temp graphics, unused clips, renders, display transforms, and intentional layered/VFX elements.
- Keep intended retimes, reframes, and transitions, and document anything that should survive into finishing. For a specialist multi-track conform, label tracks and include an EDL per video track if requested.
- Relink the designated timeline to the intended original media. Keep source filename, reel name, and source timecode intact, and gather required LUTs, DCTLs, CDLs, and externally referenced assets.
Keep the trail intact: Do not rename, replace, or bake over original camera media. Friendly editorial clip names are fine when the source filename and source timecode remain available. Flag missing, duplicate, or unusual source timecode rather than guessing. Keep source filename, reel name, and source timecode intact as the project moves between systems.
Conform & media
Choose the route that protects the edit.
Direct Resolve route
.drp + source-media package
Resolve-to-Resolve is the cleanest direct handoff. Send the exact project and designated timeline, with the original media and color-management assets it needs to open correctly.
- Export the .drp project file and name the single timeline Orange Juice should grade.
- Include required LUTs, DCTLs, CDLs, fonts, and externally referenced assets.
- Use Resolve Media Management in Copy mode for the agreed trimmed package and handles, or keep full originals online when relink safety is the priority.
Managed transfer route
.drt + i2o Smart Transfer
Use i2o when the Resolve timeline and its original source media need intelligent media management and delivery through the Conform.tools pipeline.
- Start with a color-ready Resolve timeline relinked to the intended original source media.
- Export the agreed Resolve timeline file (.drt) for i2o, together with any needed MOV, MXF, WAV, or R3D media.
- Use i2o to manage the source package and send it through the Conform.tools pipeline.
Conform.tools account: i2o requires a free account and uses pay-as-you-go pricing. Conform.tools is a separate vendor; Orange Juice is not affiliated with it.
Media management
Keep the project, source, and color assets together.
Source for color
Keep original camera media at its native shooting raster in its camera-native, scene-referred state. Do not substitute a graded render for the source unless a flat-picture handoff is agreed.
Prepare the project
Identify which nodes and grades represent intended creative work, and which should be ignored. Turn off temporary effects and document any required transforms or external assets.
Choose delivery management
Use Resolve Copy mode for the agreed trimmed source set, retain full originals when safer, or use i2o with a .drt when it is the agreed managed-transfer route.
Trimmed media: Use the agreed handles. For a direct .drp package, deliver through the Orange Juice upload method in Step 5. For i2o, the service manages and delivers the source package.
Package & deliver
Complete the handoff for the route you chose.
i2o Smart Transfer route
i2o manages and delivers the .drt timeline package and source media through Conform.tools. You do not need a separate Orange Juice upload link.
Direct Resolve route
Ask Orange Juice for a private upload link when the .drp and source package are ready. It accepts up to 200 GB per upload. For larger packages, ask about the extended pay-as-you-go transfer option.
Your delivery folder should contain
- .drp project file or .drt for i2o Smart Transfer
- Technical reference clip
- Consolidated, trimmed, or media-managed original source media
- Color-management assets and turnover note
For an Orange Juice upload (not i2o): Once prepared, do not rename or move media within the package. Use clear folders for TIMELINE, MEDIA, REFERENCE, COLOR ASSETS, and NOTES.
Turnover note: Include the project/version, designated timeline, frame rate, raster, camera/log color spaces, CDLs/LUTs, delivery needs, known exceptions, and editorial contact.
What happens next
We check the turnover against your edit.
Ingest & check
We open the designated timeline, source media, color assets, and technical reference, then confirm the package is complete enough to begin the conform.
Conform & compare
We use the technical reference as the visual guide to check timing, source, framing, retimes, transitions, and the editorial intent carried into Resolve.
Confirm or flag
If the turnover is ready, we confirm that color can begin. If anything does not relink, translate, or match as expected, we flag it early and confirm the next move before spending conform time.
Final Cut Pro → Resolve
Orange Juice can receive a Final Cut Pro turnover, but does not provide hands-on Final Cut editorial support. Keep the package simple and check with us before changing a library you are unsure about.
What you will send
- FCPXML or agreed Conform.tools package
- H.265 / ProRes LT technical reference clip
- Consolidated, trimmed, or media-managed original source media
- Turnover note + color information
Choose a route
Decide how the edit will reach color.
Conform.tools route
FCPXML + i2o Smart Transfer
Use this route when the job benefits from a Resolve-ready timeline handoff and intelligent source-media management. Confirm the exact Conform.tools output with Orange Juice before starting.
Conventional route
FCPXML + source-media package
Choose this established delivery route when you can export a clean FCPXML and supply the agreed trimmed, consolidated, or full-original media package.
Flag before prep: Let Orange Juice know before you package if the edit includes mixed frame rates or rasters, vertical or square formats, mobile or screen-recorded clips with variable frame rates, social/online captures, or mixed color spaces. These can affect timing, scaling, color interpretation, or relinking.
Technical reference
Make this from the editorial timeline first.
Burn in timeline/record timecode, source timecode, source clip name/file name, and embed audio. Match its duration and raster to the timeline.
Reference clip: If you like how the edit looks, let the reference clip preserve the viewing transform, look LUT, editorial color, and anything else you were seeing in the edit. This reference is not the grading source. It lets us confirm the conform lines up with the edit, including timing, dissolves, keyframes, and reframes. For conform and media management, send camera-native, scene-referred media, typically the original Log media, or camera-native linear EXRs on a specialist job.
Prepare timeline
Make a separate color-prep timeline.
- Duplicate the project and make a dedicated color-prep version. Keep the normal turnover to one video track where possible, two at most.
- Identify connected clips, compound clips, multicams, retimes, Motion content, titles, and effects. Remove or flag temporary elements, editorial color, look LUTs, and layered material that should not be graded.
- Keep intended retimes, reframes, and editorial transitions, but flag connected, compound, Motion, or template-based material that may need a check in Resolve.
- For a specialist multi-track conform, label tracks and include a separate EDL per video track. Relink the color-prep project to the intended original media before managing it, and keep the library's original-media relationships intact.
Keep the trail intact: Do not rename, replace, or bake over original camera media. Friendly editorial clip names are fine when the source filename and source timecode remain available. Flag missing, duplicate, or unusual source timecode rather than guessing. Keep the original-media relationship intact inside the library while you prepare the handoff.
Conform & media
Choose the route that protects the edit.
Conform.tools route
FCPXML + i2o Smart Transfer
Use this route when the job benefits from a Resolve-ready timeline handoff and managed source-media delivery. Confirm the exact supported package with Orange Juice before you begin.
- Start with a color-ready Final Cut project relinked to the intended original source media.
- Send the agreed FCPXML through Timeline Exchange for the Resolve-ready handoff.
- Use i2o Smart Transfer with FCPXML plus any needed MOV, MXF, WAV, or R3D media to manage and send the source package.
Conform.tools account: Timeline Exchange and i2o require a free account and use pay-as-you-go pricing. Conform.tools is a separate vendor; Orange Juice is not affiliated with it.
Conventional route
FCPXML + source-media package
FCPXML is the established Final Cut delivery route. Send it with the agreed trimmed, consolidated, media-managed, or full-original source package.
- Export the active color-prep project as FCPXML, using the current XML version unless Orange Juice requests a compatibility version.
- Connected clips, compound clips, multicams, Motion content, titles, retimes, and effects may need to be checked or rebuilt in Resolve.
- A Final Cut library is not a normal delivery requirement. Ask before changing its media structure or sending it for troubleshooting.
Allow conform time. Orange Juice will use the technical reference to match the Final Cut edit as closely as practical within the agreed conform time.
Media management
Send the source image, not the Final Cut look.
Source for color
Send original camera media at its native shooting raster in its camera-native, scene-referred state, typically original Log media rather than a graded export.
Prepare the package
Relink the color-prep project to original media. Turn off editorial color, look LUTs, display transforms, and temporary effects, then document anything that needs to survive.
Conventional media management
For FCPXML, copy or consolidate the agreed used media and handles without changing library media settings unless that is agreed. For the Conform.tools route, i2o manages and delivers the package.
Trimmed media: Use the agreed handles. For FCPXML, deliver through the Orange Juice upload method in Step 5. For the agreed Conform.tools route, i2o manages and delivers the source package.
Package & deliver
Complete the handoff for the route you chose.
Conform.tools route
For the agreed route, Timeline Exchange handles the Resolve-ready timeline and i2o manages and delivers the source package through Conform.tools.
FCPXML route
Ask Orange Juice for a private upload link when the FCPXML and source package are ready. It accepts up to 200 GB per upload. For larger packages, ask about the extended pay-as-you-go transfer option.
Your delivery folder should contain
- FCPXML or agreed Conform.tools package
- Technical reference clip
- Consolidated, trimmed, or media-managed original source media
- Turnover note with color information and known translation risks
For an Orange Juice upload (not i2o): Once prepared, do not rename or move media within the package. Use clear folders for TIMELINE, MEDIA, REFERENCE, COLOR ASSETS, and NOTES.
Turnover note: Include the project/version, designated timeline, frame rate, raster, camera/log color spaces, CDLs/LUTs, delivery needs, known exceptions, and editorial contact.
What happens next
We check the turnover against your edit.
Ingest & check
We open the designated timeline, source media, color assets, and technical reference, then confirm the package is complete enough to begin the conform.
Conform & compare
We use the technical reference as the visual guide to check timing, source, framing, retimes, transitions, and the editorial intent carried into Resolve.
Confirm or flag
If the turnover is ready, we confirm that color can begin. If anything does not relink, translate, or match as expected, we flag it early and confirm the next move before spending conform time.
04 / Source-media basics
What you send determines
what we can grade.
This is the simple difference between sending the camera source and sending a flat picture.
Source-media conform
Color works from camera originals at their native shooting raster, with the available image data intact.
Flat-picture handoff
Color works only from the supplied file. It can be the right fast route when agreed, but its resolution and image data become the ceiling.
05 / Only when needed
Some workflows need a conversation.
These exceptions can change the handoff, scope, schedule, or budget. Bring Orange Juice in before turnover so we can agree the right materials and plan.
High-end camera-native EXR
Specialist route only: original-raster, camera-native linear, 16-bit float, ZIP-compressed EXR plates. Agree naming, handles, transforms, and a test round trip before publishing.
Late changes & reconform
If the edit changes after turnover, maintain one designated current timeline, dated versions, and a change log for source frames, duration, retimes, reframes, VFX, and omissions.
VFX, beauty & cleanup work
Flag VFX pulls, beauty work, cleanup, graphics replacement, and shots needing production fixes before turnover. We will agree who owns the work, source or plate format, handles, timing, and approvals.
Multi-version & multi-aspect work
For cutdowns and aspect variants, Orange Juice may recommend a shared sources-sequence/master-shot approach so grades can travel consistently.
Ask before you package.
Five minutes before turnover can save hours in conform.
