Adobe® SpeedGrade® is a color grading application that brings advanced color-grading capabilities to your footage.
You can use the Direct-Link feature to apply color grading to a Premiere Pro project directly in SpeedGrade. Or you can roundtrip your video
sequences from Premiere Pro to SpeedGrade for color grading, and back to Premiere Pro.
Direct-Link workflow between Premiere Pro and SpeedGrade
Premiere Pro CC 7.1 introduced the new Direct-Link workflow to provide a tighter and more efficient color grading workflow between Premiere Pro
and SpeedGrade.
Using Direct Link, you can send or open a Premiere Pro project directly in SpeedGrade, apply color grading, and send it back to Premiere Pro.
The Direct-Link workflow eliminates the need to export and import projects, deal with interchange formats, or any kind of file conversions.
For more information, see Direct-Link workflow between Premiere Pro and SpeedGrade.
Roundtrip workflow between Premiere Pro and SpeedGrade
You can roundtrip your video sequences from Premiere Pro to Speedgrade for color grading, and back to Premiere Pro. You can export Premiere
Pro sequences to SpeedGrade either as DPX still image sequences or edit decision lists (EDLs). After completing color grading in SpeedGrade,
those projects can be exported as stand-alone video files back into Premiere Pro for more editing.
Watch this video to see the roundtrip workflow between Premiere Pro and SpeedGrade.
Apply SpeedGrade color-correction within Premiere Pro
Adobe Premiere Pro CC includes the Lumetri™ Deep Color Engine that lets you apply .look files from SpeedGrade to your clips.
The Lumetri Looks browser in the Effects panel provides you a library of preset Lumetri looks. You can apply SpeedGrade color-correction layers
and pre-made Lookup Tables (LUT) to your sequences without leaving the application. The Looks Browser also helps you locate and use exported
.look files from SpeedGrade or LUTs from other systems.
The Lumetri effects within Premiere Pro are read-only, so you edit the color correction layers and LUTs in SpeedGrade. You can also save
and open your Premiere sequences in SpeedGrade.
