Color Workflow for VFX Artists
Color for Film is a vast subject that can be difficult to understand.

In this Master Course you can gain a mastery of color workflow that is missing in nearly all university programs and online courses.
Color Workflow Documents
To use Sequence assets inside the VFX Horde Color Workflow you will need to download and install the color pack for your Sequence. This documentation will walk you through that process for each of your VFX applications.
Pipeline Documents
All VFX Horde assets including footage, tracked cameras and 3D assets all utilize the open-source VFX Pipeline software called Prism. Using this Pipeline will simplify your workflow, automate tasks, and keep your work clean and organized.
Review Room Documents
The VFX Horde Dailies Review Room is the closest VFX Studio simulation training experience available. If you have not worked at a VFX studio before then a review room experience will be new to you.
