— ACEScc: Choose ACEScc color science to apply a standard Cineon style log encoding to the ACES data before it is processed by DaVinci Resolve.
— ACEScct: This variation of ACEScc adds a roll-off at the toe of the image to make color correction lift operations “feel” more like they do with film scans and LogC encoded images.
— ACES Version: When you’ve chosen one of the ACES color science options, this menu becomes available to let you choose which version of ACES you want to use.
— ACES Input Device Transform: This menu lets you choose which IDT (Input Device Transform) to use for the dominant media format in use.
— ACES Output Device Transform: This menu lets you choose an ODT (Output Device Transform) with which to transform the image data to match your required deliverable.
— Process Node LUTs In: This menu lets you choose how you want to process LUTs in the Color page and does not affect the Fusion page.
— Disable tone mapping for Fusion conversion: Checking this box will remove any tone mapping from the ACES color management.

Using OCIO for ACES
Color Management in Fusion
When using Fusion Studio or not using color management in DaVinci Resolve, you have the option to use OpenColorIO nodes in Fusion to composite in an ACES color space.
OpenColorIO (OCIO) is an open-source color management framework for visual effects and computer animation. OCIO is compatible with the Academy Color Encoding Specification (ACES). Three
OCIO nodes located in the Color category of the Effects Library allow you to use OCIO color space transforms in Fusion.
— OCIO CDL Transform node allows you to create, save, load, and apply a Color Decision List (CDL) grade.
— OCIO Color Space allows sophisticated color space conversions based on an OCIO config file.
— OCIO File Transform allows you to load and apply a variety of LookUp Tables (LUTs).
Using OCIO for converting MediaIn or Loader nodes to linear gamma is based on the OCIO Color Space node. Placing the OCIO Color Space node directly after a Loader (or MediaIn in DaVinci Resolve) displays the OCIO Source and Output controls in the Inspector.
OCIO Color Space nodes can be used to work in an ACES color managed environment.
