  • Hey all, just changed over the backend after 15 years I figured time to give it a bit of an update, its probably gonna be a bit weird for most of you and i am sure there is a few bugs to work out but it should kinda work the same as before... hopefully :)

SpeedGrade XR - Universal Real-Time RAW Support

helgeloken said:
Does anyone have any hands-on experience with any of the Speedgrade suites?

I'm especially curious about render-times, which is terrible in Color.
And what NLE would it be best to pair it with?

Thanks!

lots of speedgrade users and owners are here. From Germany i know that in this forum besides us martin ludwig, magna media, hans von sonntag and several others are red & speedgrade users / owners.

Speedgrade is extremely faster than color. As NLE Avid, discreet, FCP and Adobe feed it well here.
 
Ok, so you can only work with RAW files in the software ? What about DPX or TIFF ?
 
what do i get for the US 20,000? the software or a workstation with storage? if storage is included in the price what i the minimum GB they are offering.

( i came to know that we have to call or contact the tech regarding the storage, but regardless of that does anybody knows the 'insider' if of the workstation/product? )

*and i really hope that SpeedGrade will support the ikonoskop RAW.

That would be for the software only.

As a reality check, the original pricing for Speedgrade DI was $49,000.

smoke-class editing tools and VFX (better even combustion class VFX), lustre-like Grading, Avids bin-database, procoder-like media encoding with an adobe encore-class bluray authoring, with toxik-like networked workflow and a solid surround sound mastering, with speedgrade-class raw support on dvs clipster quality and speed and automation ala FCS server with investment security ala adobe.

Ah yes, and at a low $$$$-$$.$$$ pricepoint, in one product, or one product suite -

Any news if XR will support audio natively (i.e. for dailies workflows) ?

Speedgrade looks very promising, XR even more so if you can OUTPUT DPXs.

Iridas has always offered this with all of their products, starting with their first one, FrameCycler. Many other companies do the same thing - Autodesk, Quantel, and Adobe come to mind.
 
Hi mmost,

Are you sure there's Lustre trial version in Autodesk's website?
Or Pablo trial version in Quantel's website?

Seriously guys, these are hardware specific "systems"...you cant download a trial and expect it to work. If you want to try out an Autodesk system you call them and they bring over a demo unit for you to try out. Our rep has sytems fully rigged in a Class A Motorhome, they pull up to your front door and demo the system at your facility.

In Autodesk's case, I was referring to Maya, which has had a learning edition for quite some time, starting when it was still Alias. You have also been able to get a trial license for Combustion since that product began shipping. You can even get one for 3DS Max if you contact the right people. Autodesk's systems products (Lustre, Flame, Inferno, Smoke, etc.) require specific hardware and are therefore not sold as software only products, so a "trial version" is not possible. In the case of Quantel, there is a learning edition of what is essentially IQ and Pablo available. See the Quantel web site for details.

As does ASSIMILATE, Avid, etc. I posted on REDUSER that we would do trial licenses for the asking.

While it is cool that Iridas is doing it, it isn't unusual. Pretty standard practice for software manufacturers.

Hey Greg - a motorhome? No sh*t? That's cool. :)

Ohh, my bad then.
I thought you referring to the "big system".

Just register for the compass training software at Quantel.
Thanks for your info.

The unusual thing is if you buy a Baselight System, you'll get a software only version for 30 days trial.
And this version only works in MacBook Pro.
