I read it will use dynamic link. I also read that individual programs will now be able to use dynamic linking in 6.0, not just the premium suite.

I've had a play with a standalone version of Speedgrade NX and it is amazing - for example masks that track objects, and endless adjustment layers. But yes - if it could do that without a lot of importing / exporting it would save a load of time.

So they have traker mask as in davinci power windows

Yes being able to apply directly to AE would be nice. I'd like more secondaries, tracking for mask, scopes.

Thanks for the update czarek. I need to start posted feature request. My source must have been inacurate but the more I read about SpeedGrade the better it looks. I may upgrade sooner than I thought!

@czarek Thank you for this1

Thanks for the links. Does speedgrade work with out MTS files or do we need to transcode? It is a space issue and time issue. That's what kept me from getting into Resolve. Also resolve had a very un user friendly interface to bring your clips in.

Also, I saw in an adobe video, an ipad used for sliders in I think Audition. Is there an app to use an ipad as a control surface?

You can drag & drop into speedgrade? But not our MTS?

Not loving Adobe's version of SpeedGrade. No curves.... at all..... AT ALL!!! WTF??? I mean it's been about 6 years since I've used it, but I was almost certain the full production version had curves on the grading panel. Maybe I just superimposed Davinci onto SG in my memory since we switched everything over to Davinci my first year as a colorist.

For quick grades, secondaries, and tech grades, it's fantastic and very speedy. Masks and tracking are quick and smooth, but for heavy grading, I'm really disappointed. No help files yet, so I can't tell if I can bake my quick grades in SG for tech passes, and transfer over to AE for use with CGT. I can import all the looks from SG with no problem with the Apply Color LUT effect, but I'd really like to have the secondary control inside AE, without CF.

I was really hoping Adobe would just replace the embedded Color Finesse inside AE with SG. But they did include the new Color Neutralizer which is an awesome white balancing tool. It'd be even cooler if it were the R3D color slider...but it does the same thing.

I hope they still keep Color Finesse in After Effects. I'm not sure why they would keep two color grading programs?

Okay, I'm loving the .look export and import into AE function. I can definitely do tech passes, secondaries, skin tone correction, and LUTs in SG and import to AE with all the secondaries and LUTs intact, without rendering, so that eliminates the NEED for CF, but since it works so well, I'm actually pissed that SG doesn't live inside AE like I (and others) begged Adobe to do. they could do the exact same thing they did with CF.

Still no round tripping with SG....I have to do each grade individually and export the settings to be able to work on it in AE, or track 3D, so it's not really "there" yet. They rushed to get it out there, so it's not fully integrated with PP and AE.

Hopefully, some or all of this will come in a future update, and not a .5 upgrade. Although I'm considering switching to a subscription based license instead of buying the suite. It comes to $360 a year, but at least the .5 updates are included, so to speak. Which makes sense to those like me who don't already own the full suite, and not enough modules to get the upgrade price for it.

If you don't already have the Master Suite the subscription is a good option. The special price of $360 is less than upgrading every year for $525. I heard you can use both Mac or Windows. That way you have a lot more options if you like using both platforms.
