  • 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

It crashes on me often. Really frustrating to work with.

Ryan,

I know Adobe is working on a few main issues, one of them being the flickering on export. From what I've heard, it will be a couple of weeks before we see an update to Speedgrade. Hopefully they will be able to fix the crashing issues as well.
 
If you have frequent crashes, this is not normal at all - on a system that's up to spec, SpeedGrade is rock solid. Please bring it over to the main SpeedGrade forum at Adobe and we will attempt to pin point the issue. Usually it's a driver problem.

I just tested it with an Alexa file (sorry Red, but I took what I had :/).
Worked fine for me. No crashes. But I have ONE question : where the fuck are the render files ?! I can't believe there's no render files ! It must be saved somewhere like the render files in Premiere. Tell me ! Speak to me ! What is the secret ?

Sorry, why would you need Lightspace, almost $4000, just to create LUTs? A probe and a plasma are no big deal, but wouldn't you be able to generate compatible color spaces between computer and monitor without the use of this software? It is my understanding that Lightspace is more for keeping accuracy among many different systems, something I don't need since I do my grading on a dedicated system.

Lightspace will create a calibration LUT for your monitor, based on differences it finds between your monitor and what it should be for any given colorspace. I'm not sure how you would do that with just a probe. ytou then load that LUT into Davinci, for example, as a display LUT, or into any LUT box (although better within Davinci so that it operates in 32 bit space)

Lightscape creates a 3D cubes with thousands of points, fixing the frequent gamma and gamut problems found in consumer display devices. Your monitor likely has only two points - usually 30% and 70% - and no way to really fix primaries or points in between - so without something like Lightspace it will never be precise or even vaguely adequate as a grading monitor unless it's a pre-calibrated Flanders - which is almost as expensive, only 24 inches, and has viewing angle issues and contrast issues since it is an LCD.

SpeedGrade doesn't render unless you tell it to. For playback and grading, SpeedGrade does not render anything - it's all done on the GPU in real time.

If you want to render, click on the Output tab in the upper right corner (or press CTRL/CMD + R).

Hope I understood your question correctly.

Yes, you did.

Pretty nice feature. My GPU is too slow for sure but nice feature.
 
Hey i need help here. I have a problem with output gama. I'm trying to create a workflow with DNxHD files but something is not working well. OK, first i transcode my shots from AVCHD to Quicktime DNxHD (my computer handle better than original), the i star to edit and color corrected in speed grade but when i render it out from speedgrade, they change the gama. Is like apply again quicktime gama.

Someone could help me?

Sorry my bad english.​

Is ther a way to make a cut in a grading layer. As an example. If you applied a grading layer over the whole time line but had one shot that did not need that grade applied?
 
Hi evrybody,

I'm thinking of putting together a new PC for editing and I can not decide which graphics card to buy to get all the juice of CS6. I'm thinking to buy a Quadro 4000 or a gtx 680. My question is: can you see the scops (vectorscope, histogram ang waveforms) updated in real time with one of these cards?
Actualy speedgrade cant do it when i'm working with HD in my old 9800 GT.

Sorry my bad english!
 
Been playing a little with Speedgrade, moderately impressed. One question for any gurus who know:

I've heard that Speedgrade has a handy feature: if you shoot a Macbeth color chart in scene, you can tell Speedgrade to 'auto grade' the shot to neutral balance from the chart.

How in hell do you actually DO that? I've poked around and asked around, haven't been able to find it. I even asked Jeff Greenberg at an Adobe roadshow, he didn't know either though he had heard it worked...

Thanks

Mike

I think this is what you are talking about:

The Clip tab allows you to set several parameters for mirror and aspect ratio, but what’s truly magical is the Color Space tab and its ability to recognize a MacBeth chart and apply cubical auto-correction to neutralize any casts which is perfect for calibrating the input from more than one camera.

Here is a screenshot of where you do it:

'Load from Desktop'

'Load from Desktop'

I've just recently moved over to using adobe and trying out Speedgrade but I'm hitting a major road block.

Not trying to hijack the post but I've been wrestling with this issue for the past couple of days and I'm really hoping one of you might be able to help me.

I'm exporting an EDL out of Premiere but the file name reference seems to be incorrect ( 'A029C023' when it should be 'A029_C023_04203V_001'). This means the option 'Load from Desktop' doesnt work. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

I have another post here outlining the issue in details:

Any help would be much appreciated,

Cheers,
 
So I have been running into a couple issues with speed grade. One I can pull a skin tone mask and desaturate etc..., but when I go to blur... to do skin enhancements. The blur appears to do nothing. As well as the day to night filter doesnt seem to effect the image either.... have any of you all run into these issues? Work arounds? Thanks in advance.
 
anybody got any suggestions for bluring skin? none of my blur filters actully work... do I have someting wrong with my instilation of adobe? I can max the blur slider out on any blur effect and get nothing.
