  • 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 :)

Adobe Speedgrade: Unreal playback.

Andrew PC Smith said:
Dear Adobe,

Whatever you did here, I want to see it go into Premiere and After Effects. Speedgrade really lives up to it's name.

I'll admit, I was a bit skeptical when Adobe was getting into video color correction. But unlike other competitors' first attempts, Adobe got this one right the first time. I get smoother R3D playback *with looks applied* than any other program... even Redcine-X Pro. Without conversion, I can playback at 100%, see exactly how it's going to look, with rarely a dropped frame. Truly amazing.

First time? Surely, you jest.

Adobe bought SpeedGrade and then gave it away for free as part of the suite, it's been out for a long, long time. Hardly the "first time" it's been released.

Well, they had to adapt it to their suite and release it for a wider audience. So in that sense, it's like a "new" used car.

Free is my favorite price. The greater the democratization of technology, the lower the price of information... which will typically drop down to zero, eventually. (Read: Google) The only thing that's stopping us now is how relatively expensive our energy is, because of material costs.

Yes, I'm sure keeping performance high while adding a new licensing system for start-up was an incredibly time and developer consuming task. ;)
 
Hey,

I'd just like to compare my experience with others. I have the latest version and I can playback 4k r3d's with high detail at 24fps. The rest of the interface is excruciatingly slow. I appreciate that it allows for super fine control but it seems super-laggy and unresponsive. I've had the same experience with QT Prores files.

I don't have a red rocket, just a mac tower, 2x 2.4 ghz quad core processors, 64GB ram and the ATI Radeon HD 5870 1GB Vram driving 2x monitors.

Is there something super-basic that I'm missing in my setup or approach? I've watched the tutorial videos linked previously and *think* I'm following the process correctly.

It seems so great on many levels but the interface is unusable.

Any suggestions / advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Mondo

Hi Mondo,

"...The rest of the interface is excruciatingly slow..."

The Speedgrade UI is one of the most responsive I've ever seen - it's completely OpenGL driven and super fluid on my machine...
(Win7 X64 12GB RAM - Nvidia GTX670 2GB - SSD & 8TB RAID0)

--> Do you had a look at the system requirements? Speedgrade needs a single powerful and certified graphics card like the Nvidia Quadro 4000 on MAC...

a lot users had problems with different graphics cards esp. on MAC - instead of 2x 2,4GH CPU it would be better to use one fast 4GHz Quadcore and a compatible graphics card like a Quadro 5000 or a GTX680 4GB...

Hi Lin Just wondering where the Redcolor3 / Redgamma3 can be set for clips in Speedgrade ?
 
I tried SpeedGrade, it's really cool except I can not find where to manipulate HDRX in R3D files? Anyone knows?
