I have colour (CDL) values from dailies in an EDL or ALE: what are ASC_SOP and ASC_SAT in Media Composer and what setting makes them take effect?
In the 2013 Avid guide, CDL values arrive via EDL or ALE in ASC_SOP/ASC_SAT, live as bin-column clip metadata and travel on AAF/ALE/EDL export, but are applied only after enabling the Color Management setting; already-linked clips need Source Settings > Color Encoding > Auto (or the CDL color transformation).

Curator qualifications: Documents/posts read 2026-10-22; no EDL, ALE or AAF exported or conformed. 2014 Avid paper (third-party CDN copy, S4) not re-read; literal EDL comment syntax not established (producer finding kept). Current menu wording not checked.
Limitations: Documents/posts read 2026-10-22; no EDL, ALE or AAF exported or conformed.
Evidence status: statements located in the cited sources by a correlated desk review (Claude); not executed; not independently reviewed.
