Hi all,

I'm trying to implement a partial ACES workflow for an animation. I'd like to output linear sRGB exr sequence.
As suggested, I am using ACES OT @ 1.0 just to preview the output, after that I save the output with this option disabled.
However, I cannot disable the Tone Mapping tab completely as I still need to control the exposure somehow, either via Simple or Photographic Exposure adjustment.
Is it okay to use one of them? Does it still result in a linear output?

Yes, using Exposure only is still linear - but since you're linear you can set the same exposure in whatever app you're going to comp in later (and just disable tone mapping in the VFB), it should produce the same result wherever you take it.
