After Effects / OpenColorIO 2 / Windows

OCIO 2 viewing inside After Effects.

Choose the configuration, Display, View and Look you actually use in production, then apply the OCIO 2 viewing transform directly in your comp.

Colour-managed viewing without the workaround.

The effect exposes an OpenColorIO 2 display and look transform as a native After Effects effect, so the viewing setup used across the rest of the pipeline can live inside the comp.

  • 01OCIO 2 processingModern OpenColorIO transforms with configuration-driven behaviour.
  • 02Display, View and LookThe artist-facing choices that matter when matching a studio viewing pipeline.
  • 03GPU pathGPU rendering with explicit CPU and error fallback reporting.

Built for CG and VFX review chains.

Use the same configuration and viewing choices as Blender, Houdini, Nuke or Resolve.

  1. Load a configuration

    Point the effect at an OCIO config, or use the $OCIO environment variable.

  2. Choose Display, View and Look

    The menus come from the config you loaded, so they match the rest of the pipeline.

  3. Review in the comp

    Preview scene-linear or managed imagery through the same display transform used elsewhere.

Simple Windows install.

The current public build is a Windows After Effects plug-in.

  1. Download the .aex

    Grab it from the dist folder, or use the download button above.

  2. Copy it into an After Effects plug-ins folder

    Use your AE version's Support Files\Plug-ins folder, or an appropriate shared Adobe MediaCore location.

  3. Restart AE and add the effect

    Add ZURA OCIO Look from the Effects menu, then choose your configuration and viewing options.

Important This is a viewing and look transform tool. It does not determine the correct input colour space for every source, and it is not a substitute for a correctly designed colour pipeline. This build contains OpenColorIO and upstream AdobeOCIO components, which retain their own licences and copyrights.
