Render out content
Special tools and workflows
Related topics
The SpeedGrade workflow consists of three steps: load footage, color grade, and render out finished content.
Use the following views to perform the workflow:
Desktop view for loading footage
Monitor view for applying color grading
Output view for rendering out the completed project
Each view is accessible from a tab at the top of the SpeedGrade CS6 application window.
Load footage
1. Locate content in the Desktop view. Use the folder browser on the left side to navigate to the folder containing your content.
Thumbnails of the clips appear in the Desktop view.
If you have many clips, you can manage them as follows:
Sort alphabetically.
Sort by time code range, resolution, or date modified.
Filter to display only certain file types.
Search for specific filenames or filename extensions.
2. Add clips to the Timeline by double-clicking or dragging them to the Timeline.
Drag clips by their handles to reposition them on the Timeline.
Set in- and out-points and switch between Timeline views as you review or color grade your content
You can add up to nine separate playheads. See Compare shots with multiple playheads.
3. If you want, load Edit Decision Lists (EDLs) on the Timeline. See Color grade a sequence.
To add an EDL, double-click the EDL in the Desktop view.
To add the clips to the EDL, choose Reels in the Timeline panel and click Load from Desktop.
Apply color grading
1. Apply color correction to balance blacks and whites and to match shots. See Color grade a clip.
Apply primary color adjustments to the whole image, the shadows, the midtones, or the highlights.
Select color ranges to apply secondary color adjustments.
Use the waveform, histogram, and vectorscope to ensure accurate color adjustments, such as balancing blacks and
highlights.
2. Use effects, film-style filters, and masks to design creative looks.
Add new grading layers to build your look.
2
To the top
Apply masks to individual layers, for example to create a vignette.
Add unlimited layers and reorder as required. Changes are applied non-destructively.
Each layer has its own opacity slider where its influence on the overall look can be adjusted.
3. Animate masks or grades to match movement and changing light in your frames.
Add keyframes to your masks or grading tracks.
Adjust masks or grading at keyframe positions.
SpeedGrade CS6 animates transitions smoothly between keyframes.
4. Save grades as Look files and apply those looks to footage. To apply a look to footage, select the footage and then click a
Look file.
The Look file preserves all the layers and settings of the grade.
Click a Look file to apply it to selected footage on the Timeline.
Edit existing looks in the Look panel.
Export looks as LUTs for use in other applications or devices.

Quickstart: Color grade a sequence
To the top
To the top
To the top
The workflow for color grading a sequence consists of the following steps:
Load an EDL
Reconnect the source clips in the reels
Create a grading clip
Apply color grades to a grading clip
Apply a grading clip to additional video clips
Render a graded sequence
Load an EDL
Edit Decision Lists (EDLs) are metadata documents used to migrate project timelines from editing tools like Adobe Premiere Pro to post-production
tools like SpeedGrade.
Tip: Before starting, place the source clips and the EDL file in a single folder. This organization makes the process quicker and more efficient.
1. In SpeedGrade, select the folder containing the EDL file with the file browser in the upper-left corner of the user interface.
2. Double-click the EDL file to load it.
Tip: If you have too many thumbnails, you can filter them for EDL files by selecting the EDL option from the All Files menu in
the upper-right corner.
SpeedGrade places placeholder thumbnails in the video track and in the Reels panel. The Reels panel is on the Timeline tab on the lower left of
the screen.
Reconnect the source clips in the reels
The Reels panel gives an overview of the reels in an EDL. When loading an EDL, SpeedGrade inserts placeholder thumbnails of the source clips
in the Reels panel. Reconnect the source clips to the placeholder thumbnails in the Reels panel as follows.
1. If not already done, display the source clips on the Desktop window by selecting the folder containing the source clips.
2. Filter the thumbnails for the media type of the source clips. Example: QuickTime movies.
3. Click the Timeline tab and then click the Reels panel to view the source clip placeholders.
4. Reconnect the source clips to the thumbnails by clicking Load from Desktop. SpeedGrade reconnects the source clips on the
Desktop and the video track.
Create a grading clip
When color grading a sequence, work in a non-destructive grading clip associated with the video clips in the sequence. Don't grade the video
clips directly. The grading clip can be saved, moved, and applied to multiple video clips. Grading clips are managed in the Timeline in a grading
track above the video track.

General editing and grading workflow
Offline editing and grading workflow
The color grading process is usually the last step in the post-production workflow. If working with high-resolution material or RAW files, you can
begin your workflow by creating smaller proxy files in SpeedGrade for offline editing in Adobe Premiere Pro. After your editing is complete, you can
relink the edits to the source material in SpeedGrade for grading and finishing.
General editing and grading workflow
1. Edit in Adobe Premiere Pro.
2. Send the footage to SpeedGrade as follows:
If working with compressed files, use File > Send to Adobe SpeedGrade. Premiere Pro renders out a DPX sequence and
opens it in SpeedGrade.
Note: Because a DPX sequence is created, this option is more suitable for shorter projects where you have picture lock
and are ready for finishing.
If working with RAW files or on a larger project, export an EDL. See Export a project as an EDL file in Adobe Premiere Pro
Help.
3. Load the material in SpeedGrade and apply color corrections.
4. Render out to your final output file format.
5. Render out a DPX sequence for storage.
You can also import the DPX sequence into Premiere Pro for finishing work such as adding titles and final audio, and then
exporting a final master. Importing an uncompressed DPX sequence preserves quality in the event you want to export from
Premiere Pro again.
Offline editing and grading workflow
The offline workflow is useful when working with high-resolution material or RAW files.
1. Load the source footage into SpeedGrade.
2. Apply any basic first-light color corrections.
3. Render out proxies. See Create proxy files for offline editing.
4. Import the proxies in Premiere Pro and edit the footage.
5. From Premiere Pro, export an EDL. See Export a project as an EDL file in Adobe Premiere Pro Help.
6. In SpeedGrade, use the EDL to relink the source files. See Conform EDLs - Multiple-clip workflow.
7. Apply final color corrections to the full resolution source footage.
8. Render out to the file format for your output.

Standard dual-monitor setup
Advanced dual-monitor setup
You can use a dual-monitor setup to work with SpeedGrade. The SpeedGrade workspace is displayed on one monitor and the footage is
displayed on the other.
Standard dual-monitor setup
A standard dual-monitor setup uses two monitors connected with two DVI or two DP outputs from your graphics card.
1. Connect the DVI or DP outputs to the two monitors.
Tip: Use a calibrated monitor or projector for the footage monitor.
2. In SpeedGrade, click Settings > Display and adjust the settings under Window Size.
The default values work for two displays with 1920x1080 resolution. SpeedGrade is displayed to the left of the display with the
footage.
3. Select the Enable option.
Advanced dual-monitor setup
The advanced dual monitor setup uses nVidia Quadro SDI technology to allow for real-time 10- and 12-bit output over Single Link or Dual Link
SDI. The nVidia Quadro SDI setup requires a 64-bit Windows 7 system.
1. Connect the DVI or DisplayPort output to the display you want to use for the SpeedGrade workspace.
2. Use either a Single Link or Dual Link SDI output from the NVIDIA SDI card to connect with external waveform and other
monitoring devices, and your reference monitor or projector.
3. In SpeedGrade, select Settings > Display.
4. In the SDI Output section, change signal and format settings according to your desired output format settings.
5. Select the Enable option.
FAQ: How many outputs on the nVidia GPU can be used in parallel?
Only two outputs at a time can be used in parallel. The SDI card is routed through the Quadro GPU and thus takes one DVI or DP output. The
other output can be used for the workspace display. The additional DisplayPort is not active in parallel.
Tip: Combining local footage display with a projection setup
To give the operator an accurate local display in parallel to another display or projection system, a signal split on the SDI output is recommended.
This is the recommended way to monitor a signal through external waveform and vectorscope devices.

Workflow for creating dissolves between keyframes

Related topics
Use keyframes to transform the state of a grade, mask, or pan-and-scan adjustment over time. A keyframe marks the point in time where you
specify a state, such as the position of a mask. You typically use at least two keyframes—one for the state at the beginning of the change, and
one for the new state at the end of the change. You can add as many keyframes as you need on a track. SpeedGrade interpolates the values
between keyframes and creates dissolves between them.
Add keyframes
Every new grading track has one keyframe at its start position. If you don’t add more keyframes, any adjustments affect the whole clip.
To add more keyframes along a track:
1. Move the playhead to the position you’d like to add a keyframe.
2. Click the Record Keyframe button.
3. Apply adjustments at the new keyframe position, such as a grade, mask, or pan-and-scan adjustment.
4. With the playhead at the current keyframe, click the Record Keyframe button a second time to create a dissolve from the
previous keyframe to the current keyframe. See Workflow for creating dissolves between keyframes.
An arrow between the keyframes on the track indicates a linear dissolve between the two positions.
Workflow for creating dissolves between keyframes
Create a dissolve between two keyframes by clicking the Record Keyframe button a second time at each new keyframe position. The typical
workflow is as follows:
1. Move the playhead to the position on the timeline where you want to start the dissolve.
2. Add a keyframe by clicking Record Keyframe.
3. Move to the playhead to the position on the timeline where you want to end the dissolve.
4. Click on Record Keyframe twice to add a keyframe that will smoothly morph all settings from the previous to the current
keyframe.
5. Adjust your grade, mask, or pan-and-scan at the two keyframe positions.
Automatically record keyframes when editing
When Auto-keyframe mode is on, modifying a property automatically adds a keyframe at each new position.
Click the Auto-keyframe button to toggle Auto-keyframe mode on or off.

Master-clip workflow
Multiple-clip workflow
Supported EDL features
Edit Decision Lists (EDLs) are metadata documents used to migrate project timelines from other editing tools.
Timelines created from EDLs in SpeedGrade CS6 adhere to the Sony CMX 3600 standard. SpeedGrade also supports the extended 16-digit EDL
to work with ARRIRAW and Red R3D material.
The two most common scenarios for conforming EDLs are as follows:
You have an EDL and one long image sequence or movie file with all the edits baked in. You want to use the EDL to create
keyframes to cut the clip into individual edits. See Master-clip workflow.
You have an EDL with online material in several folders or consisting of individual movie files. You want to associate the
correct online clips according to the Reel ID/filename information available in the EDL. See Multiple-clip workflow.
Before working with EDLs, make sure to set the correct frame rate preset in SpeedGrade. For example, if your project is based on 24 fps,
set both your preset for new timelines and your base fps to 24. For instructions, see Playback basics.
Master-clip workflow
Follow this workflow if you have one long clip of online material and want to use an EDL to cut it into individual edits.
1. Locate the pre-conformed clip in the Desktop view and drop it on the Timeline.
2. Locate the EDL in the Desktop view and drop it on the clip in the Timeline.
SpeedGrade cuts the clip into edits.
Multiple-clip workflow
1. Locate the EDL in the Desktop view and drop it on the Timeline.
SpeedGrade inserts placeholder clips on the Timeline representing all the edits. The clips are red because the reels are not
loaded yet.
2. Use the Desktop to locate the footage that represents the reels.
Use the filter options to search subfolders or to treat folders as reels. For example, if all the material is in one folder structure,
select the Sequences from Folder + Subtree filter option.
3. Click Load from Desktop to connect the source clips to the placeholder clips.
To prevent reels on the Timeline from being replaced when adding new reels from other locations, select the Don’t Replace
Loaded Reels checkbox.
4. If your material is in several folders, repeat the process with the other folders.

About footage references
An EDL can reference footage with a clip name and reel ID. If the reel ID information is not present, SpeedGrade can use the clip name. If both
are present, SpeedGrade references the reel ID first
Sometimes, the reel ID and clip name information don’t match and the footage can't be associated automatically. In this case, you can drop
material manually from the Desktop on the placeholder reels.
Dissolves
Dissolves between clips according to an EDL are available as A and B layer with a dissolve layer in between. All three layers are generated
automatically when conforming an EDL.
Supported EDL features
The CMX reel ID is the primary means of identification for a clip. If possible, place reel footage in subfolders with the Reel ID provided in
the 3600 EDL.
SpeedGrade supports the FROM CLIP NAME syntax in a CMX comment. Clip name is the secondary means of identification for a
clip. If the Reel ID provided is not found or the Reel ID is AX, the clip name is used.
The syntax REEL AX IS CLIP is supported.
Vertical and horizontal mirroring is supported. The FLIP, FLOP, and FLIP-FLOP comment keywords are evaluated.
M2 speed change/time warp commands are supported. Reverse playback is supported.
Key commands are not supported and result in an error at load time.

Note:
Track the masked object automatically
Control the movement of a mask manually
Track the masked object automatically
1. On the first frame of the track, apply a mask on the target object and grade it.
For instructions, see Apply a mask.
2. In the Mask panel, click the Track Object button.
The button is on the lower-right side of the Mask panel. You might need to scroll the panel down to see it.
The mask automatically tracks the target object through the shot.
See the next section if the following applies:
The mask can't follow the object after clicking the Track Object button
You want the tracking to begin or end later in the shot
Control the movement of a mask manually
Use keyframes to manually control the position of a mask over time. A keyframe marks the point in time where you specify the shape or position
of the mask. You typically use at least two keyframes—one for the position at the beginning of the change, and one for the new position at the end
of the change. SpeedGrade animates the transition between the keyframes. For more information, see Work with keyframes.
Keyframes are useful when the target object cannot be followed automatically. You can also use keyframes to change the shape and feather of a
mask over time.
1. In the Mask panel, do the following:
a. Move the playhead to the position on the timeline where you want the mask to start tracking the object.
b. Click the Record Keyframe button to insert a keyframe.
Record keyframe button
You don’t have to insert a starting keyframe if you want the mask to track the target object from the first frame of the
track. SpeedGrade adds a keyframe to the first frame as soon as you add a grading clip.
2. Apply a mask over the target object at the keyframe, and then grade the mask in the Look panel.
For instructions, see Apply a mask.
3. Insert a second keyframe in the timeline as follows:
a. Switch to the Mask panel and move the playhead to the second position on the timeline where you want the movement of
the mask to end.
b. Click Record Keyframe.
4. Reposition the mask over the target object at the second keyframe.
5. To create a dissolve between the two keyframes, click the Record Keyframe button a second time on the second position.
SpeedGrade indicates the dissolve with an arrow on the track between the two positions.

Create proxy files for offline editing
Twitter™ and Facebook posts are not covered under the terms of Creative Commons.
Legal Notices | Online Privacy Policy
For a faster workflow, you can work on low-bitrate proxy files (“proxies”) rendered from high-bitrate master files. This article describes how to
create proxy files for offline editing while preserving both the original file naming and source time code.
1. Move all the source clips to the Timeline as follows:
a. Browse to the source folder in the SpeedGrade Desktop.
b. Click the Add All button on the lower-right side of the Desktop.
2. Define the output folder for the rendered proxy files as follows:
a. Select the Output tab.
b. Specify an output path in the Folder field with the breadcrumb control.
3. Instead of typing a file name for the proxy files, specify the following file naming option:
a. In the File Name field, click the M icon for lists of preset metadata tags.
b. Select the “Src.PathElement.0” option.
This option splits the Timeline into individual QuickTime files for rendering. It also matches the output file name to the source
file name.
4. Set the Time Code Source to the Source option to preserve the master file time code information.
You can also set the time code source to other time code generators based on the workflow.
5. Select the output format, calibration lookup table (LUT), and framing settings as with any regular render job.
6. Select Online Quality or Offline Quality and then click Render.
