Color Graded Video: The color graded version of the final edited video. Color grading involves adjusting the colors, contrast, brightness, and overall look of the footage to achieve a desired mood or aesthetic.
Before and After Comparisons: It's common to provide before-and-after examples to showcase the impact of color grading. This helps clients or collaborators understand the transformation and the enhancements made during the color grading process.
LUTs (Look-Up Tables): If specific color grading settings were used to achieve a particular look, these settings can be saved as LUTs. LUTs are often used in post-production pipelines to ensure consistency across different shots or scenes.
Raw Color Grading Data: Depending on the software and workflow, some projects might require the delivery of color grading project files that contain all the adjustments and settings used during the color grading process. This allows for future adjustments if needed.
Different Color Versions: In some cases, you might need to provide multiple color versions of the video, such as a standard version, a high-contrast version, and a version optimized for specific display devices.
Formats and Resolutions: The color graded video should be delivered in the appropriate formats and resolutions required by the distribution platform or client. This could include formats like MP4, MOV, or ProRes, and resolutions like 1080p, 4K, etc.
