# At DI and delivery, what do AMF/ACES and the IMF Application 2E standard say about reproducing on-set colour intent, and what is not carried?

AMF lets finishing automatically recreate the on-set or dailies viewing reference, possibly with a different ODT for the better grading display, but holds no timeline data. IMF Application #2E fixes the finished image's colorimetry system (COLOR.1-COLOR.8) and allows optional all-or-none ST 2086 mastering-display items for COLOR.3/5/6/7/8, with nothing assumed when absent; its text names no ACES, timecode or CDL. AAF AS-01 defines tape names and timecode tracks but no CDL/ASC/LUT objects. So none of the documents read states that on-set colour intent itself travels into an IMF package.

Curator qualifications: Specs read 2026-10-22; no IMF package or AMF processed. IMF core constraints and CPL standards not read (producer: not reachable). Curator amendment CA-AM-0049 (2026-10-22): Narrowed (curator, after C3R-0513). The correction 'E4 is wrong as stated' is withdrawn. ST 2067-21 NOTE 2 to 7.2.7 says COLOR.8 does not use mastering display colour volume metadata. However, the Annex B items may be included (all or none) for COLOR.8 to ease downstream conversion. Correct reading: optional for COLOR.8, not used by it.

Limitations: Specs read 2026-10-22; no IMF package or AMF processed.
