Workflow Introduction

In 2010 we introduced the very first ALEXA camera as a direct-to-edit system. HD and 2K were the most common formats. Since then a lot of things have evolved: new functions, new formats - more possibilities. We developed an ecosystem around our cameras to support the camera women and men, the shooters, the DITs, that assistants: you – our customers – to the needed extend.

But we must admit: that’s tricky! Some require more information than others - some none at all. That’s why we offer our information online for everyone to browse.

In case you want to get a training form the ground up for a certain camera, product or even topic (e.g. HDR), please head over to the ARRI Academy.

As promised first of all: information! On various latest topics we’ve collected frequently asked questions:

• Color FAQ
• LDS FAQ
• Look Library FAQ
• HDR FAQ
• ARRIRAW FAQ
• VFX FAQ

We have tools useful for prep and post of your project:

Online:

• Frame Line and Lens Illumination Tool - prepare frame lines for each camera and check the lens illumination online
• Formats- and Data Rate Calculator - calculate the expected amount of data and see how the pipeline holds up against the load.
• LUT Generator - generate color space conversion LUTs

Standalone (Mac and Windows):

• ARRIRAW Converter
• ARRI Color Tool
• ARRI Meta Extract

And of course we have our Camera Simulators for settings and menu training.
