Grading Layers with Direct Link

As the grading layers can not be created if I use the direct link for my project from premiere to speedgrade. Can I create 3-4 adjustment layers in premiere pro and then send my project to speedgrade and use my these adjustment layers as regular grading layers in speedgrade?

Yes, that is correct, and at the moment is the only way to use grading layers in Direct Link mode.

OIM 11g - Email Notification with direct link to Approval Task Details

Hi,
We wanted to send email notifications to approver with direct link to the approval task details screen from which the user can either approve or reject the request. In OIM 11g OOTB Notification templates such as Request Creation contains the direct link to Request Detail screen which is something like
http://localhost:14000/oim/faces/pages/Self.jspx?OP_TYPE=LOOKUP;E_TYPE=MY_REQUEST&T_ID=65
Wondering if there is something similar for Approval Task Details screen as well.
Any kind of help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Deepa

If at all you cannot get the direct link for approve/reject then try the actionable email from SOA. Once you have that configured the emails gets approver/reject links so that approvers can directly approve/reject the task from email. If that works for you then you can look at the format of those links in the email and deduce what you need the url as.

First Day With Adobe SpeedGrade CC with Direct Link

I thought it would be interesting to share my first day using the new Adobe SpeedGrade CC with everyone. Most would be embarrassed to do this, not me.
This is NOT a tutorial, but more of a way to show you what I am struggling with and what I like. So if you are having your first day with this program you might run in to similar items.
Perhaps even a product manager from Adobe might watch this and help him what they should work on next.
Issues I had:
Where are the Curves adjustments?
How do I sharpen an image?
Can you use the tracker backwards?
Why didn’t my track work?
Playback at 10fps (not real time with my Monster Computer)
How do you blend layers?
How do you zoom into the timeline?
Things I love:
Doesn’t crash like Resolve
DIRECT LINK!!!! Love it!
2 up and 3 up for shot matching.
No more XML and EDL!!!!

Dave,
I'm basically a noob here too ... only been working with this for what, 5 months?
Yea ... would LOVE the option to switch to a curves-based control, one each for luminosity/R-G-B at the least. I've put in a feature-request for that, as have apparently some others. Maybe next year in ... oh well.
Also ... you might have noted, there's no skin line in the vectorscope! Ridiculous, and that's ALSO been feature-requested by people ... again, maybe next year in ... oh well.
Still ... but dang this program does work fast in concert with P-Pro as your NLE. One bit of advice. In a P-Pro/Sg/Ae workflow, the link from/to P-Pro and Speedgrade works perfectly well both ways. HOWEVER ... your Sg grades do not come into Ae if you send the project from P-Pro to AfterEffects. Now ... if you save your P-Pro projects with it's Sg grades ... then open Ae and use its Dynamic Link feature to pull a P-Pro project into Ae, your grades from Sg come in just fine thank you.
And anything you do in Ae comes into Sg on a different layer that you aren't allowed to 'touch', so you can do fx work afore grading and see how the footage looks including the fx, but you can't touch the fx layer of the timeline (other than to turn on/off visibility in the monitor) to do anything to it.
Still ... easy workarounds, NO time to transcode/export/import ... glory hallelujah!

Mask placement bug with direct link - fix?

Today I digged around SG and can see that the issue still stands. Looks like SG works with input data and displays the PP output, so all transformations done in PP are transferred to the masks resulting in offsetting and scale differences.
I have read couple of posts that its a "known" issue, but those posts are like year old. So my question is - is this gonna be fixed or do we have to re-render all our footage to 1.0 PAR and never transform anything before grading process if we wanna use PP and SG in direct link?
It seems to me as not a big deal ti trace the transformations in PP and feed the numbers to SG so the offset is compensated for...?

well, PAR is one thing, but transformations is other thing. It is really hard to imagine editors working without touching their materials in positoning / scaling sense. All of us have to do it time to time... as I wrote to Jesse, we can work around this by nesting sequences in PP, but its just seems a bit strange that this is not taken care of.
I still dont get why it is not possible to tell SG: ok - there is transformation x+150 on video in PP, so when creating a mask, move it -150 px on X axis...and with PAR its the same - par 2 = 50% mask scaling on the X axis. I am not a software developer, but I know some programming and these offset corrections are kinda classic at least in what i used to do before moving to editing (flash apps). But its just an impression, dont wanna look like ********* ., theres probably more to it than this.
Anyway - the main question remanis - is this gonna be fixed? We are in process of updating equipment in our office so I dont wanna get piece of software that has major issues like this.

Cfimage and crop with direct links

Hello,
I need some advice..
I want to have users reference images from my site but only certain sections (IE: http://somedomain.com/getimg.cfm?ID=123&section=1). Below is the code I have but it only outputs a variable like coldfusion.image.Image@174e3a9 rather than the actual image. I understand cfimage has a writeToBrowser action but that outputs html source which wont allow my users to have a direct link.
<cfprocessingdirective suppresswhitespace="yes">
<cfimage source="d:\test.jpg" name="myImage">
<cfset ImageCrop(myImage,0,0,534,474)>
<cfcontent type="image/jpeg" >
<cfoutput>#myImage#</cfoutput>
</cfprocessingdirective>

You can also prevent direct links (although not fool-proof) by checking the HTTP_REFERER at http server level, using mod_write or isapi_rewrite (or similar). You can easily find examples for this by searching the internet.
About cfcontent then... the correct usage would be <cfcontent variable="#myImage#" type="image/jpeg"> , but since cfcontent does not support a ColdFusion image object, but rather variables or binary objects read by cffile, save the cropped image to a disk with the cfimage tag, then read it using cffile.
Better yet, if you are using ColdFusion 9, use the ram://-drive instead of physical disk for less I/O load.

SpeedGrade crashes with Direct Link

I have been trying to direct link for the last few months to SpeedGrade with no success as it crashes when direct linking. If there is blank space at the start of the sequence it loads but crashes as soon as you try to move the cursor which jumps onto a clip. It never displays a preview of the video before crashing. I've tried it with various video codecs (ProRes, h.264 and MTS files from a Sony FS700) at 1080p but it seems to crash on anything I've throw at it.
Speed Grade does not crash when starting a new SpeedGrade project and manually adding clips but unfortunately all my original files at present are MTS which SpeedGrade can only open via Direct Link.
Any ideas on how to solve this issue? Let me know if you need more information.

Thanks for the tip ALLENT, but there's no plugins installed.

Do you have NEAT VIDEO (de-noiser) or FXfactory plugins install on your machine (for Premiere Pro or AE). I had the exact same issue... here is an excerpt for the FIX (from NEAT VIDEO) if you have NEAT VIDEO De-noiser installed somewhere on your machine. It 100% worked for me!!
Yes, we also received some messages about that. We are currently helping Adobe to find a way to make Speedgrade work properly. It is that recent update of Speedgrade that triggered the problem.
The simplest solution for now (for the Mac version of Premiere and Speedgrade) is to move (not copy but move) Neat Video plug-in (alias) from
/Library/Application Support/Adobe/Common/Plug-Ins/7.0/MediaCore
to
/Applications/Adobe Premiere Pro CC/Adobe Premiere Pro CC.app/Contents/Plug-Ins/Common/

Problems with Installation and then with the direct links...

Well.. the problem is that I tried to install flash player, and in the middle of the Download it gets to 47% and says: "The download time has expired" and closes the download and open me in the web explorer to a troubleshooting page... I go to the error selecting the issue of the download and the solution is that I have to download the Flash Player from another page with direct links of the Player and there's the thing... The links are not working...
The page says "The connection was reset". I hope that you can help me with this problem.

What operating system and browser would you like to install Flash on?

Direct Link Coming to SpeedGrade CC

Hi everyone,
On October 15 we'll release the next version of SpeedGrade CC, including Direct Link integration with Adobe Premiere Pro CC, support for multiple masks, linked masks, support (via Direct Link) for all of the file formats support by Premiere Pro, and new bundling of SpeedLooks.
With Direct Link you can open Premiere Pro CC projects inside SpeedGrade CC for color grading and send them back to Adobe Premiere Pro CC. There you can continue editing with color corrections and looks applied. Since color adjustments use the Lumetri Deep Color Engine, you can turn them on and off in Premiere Pro as required. Now you can easily move your projects back and forth between applications as you fine tune your edits and grades in one integrated workflow.
Support for multiple masks means you can add as many masks as you need to layers within your looks. This makes it easier to build complex looks and much faster to save and copy them to other parts of your project.

Can you tell me if "ALL" attributes will move between both applications?? Speed changes, transitions, effects ETC... Dynamic Linking with Premiere and AE still does NOT bring everything over. If all attributes don't move between both applications then this will not really work.

FAQ: What is Direct Link in Adobe SpeedGrade CC?

Direct Link, introduced in the October 2013 Creative Cloud release, allows users to open Adobe Premiere Pro CC projects in SpeedGrade CC, and move them back and forth between the applications. There are no translations or file conversions involved. With Direct Link, both applications access the same project file, assets, and color information in their native formats. The result is a truly integrated editing and color grading workflow.
For details, see this FAQ: How do I color grade a Premiere Pro sequence in SpeedGrade?

Great to hear you are up and running again! FYI the is the Creative Cloud App's forum. Future Premiere Pro questions should asked here: Premiere Pro

Speedgrade Direct Link Problem

Hello All, after updating Premiere Pro CC I have a problem with the Direct Link function to Speedgrade. After saving the PP project, PP closes then the PP Welcome screens opens followed by Speedgrade which has the Red dialogue box stating that the sequence/video file cannot be found. Has anyone else encountered this and if so have you found a solution?
Many thanks

Thank you Jim!! I have been searching the internet for hours now, because speedgrade showed a black screen with direct link.
For people with similar issue:
What helped me was to
1) change settings for Nvidia - follow description by ValeoMooha in this post: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1016759
2) Opening Sg before direct linking from Premiere.
Thanks again! Looking forward to learn SG, now that it works!

Speed Grade CC missing features when Direct Link with Premiere CC

I'm new to speed grade, so I am unclear as to what the issue might be:
When I direct Link from Premiere Speed Grade does not behave the way I would expect
I cannot select any tab other than "Look"
I cannot toggle the 'visibility' of layers
I can create adjustment layers, but they have no effect on the sequence.
I wish to grade my whole sequence with a broad LUT (day for nite)
Why does speed grade act this way?

Sam,
In the Direct Link process, Speedgrade uses the PrPro project file, rather than creating it's own internal files. Adobe is very cautious about allowing Sg to mess with that project file, with any/all sequences/timelines that might be there. So therefore ... ALL features that directly change a sequence timeline itself are locked-out, or as viewed ... greyed-out. They don't really explain this too well anywhere I've seen yet. So there are some caveats with working Direct Link, and once you get them down it is a sweet process ... mostly. You're right, you can't do anything but adjust how things "look" in a D-L session. That doesn't mean you can't change things of course ...
Grading layers: Create "adjustment layers" over clips or whole sequences in PrPro before going D L to Sg, and use those ... works just fine, as Joost notes. Any of Sg's adjustments from color primaries/secondaries/LOOKs/LUTs work fine applied in an "adjustment layer" the same as if they were in an Sg-created 'grading layer'.
There is one BIG CAVEAT: as Sg is not allowed to touch that timeline UNTIL you click on the "save & go back to PrPro" icon, IT DOES NOT DO ANY AUTOSAVES NO MATTER HOW YOU'VE SET PRPRO & SG FOR AUTOSAVING! If you have PrPro running in the background, you may see a brief flash of "autosaving" or something to that effect every now & then. IT IS NOT SAVING YOUR SPEEDGRADE WORK in a Direct Link session, do NOT be deceived!
You will need to do manual saves or save-as's every so often or risk losing your work. Yea, I wuz the guy what found this out ... sigh. Only lost two hours of work, and we had a joyful thread about this when I posted on that some months back. There's been talk of doing something about this, don't know if there's a correction for this coming.
Other than that, grading in Sg in a D L session works as you'd expect.

Mac Pro 6,1 STILL having issues with Open CL (4K scaling and SpeedGrade direct link grades)

I've seen the staff responses to the issues of the new Mac Pro GPU saying that 10.9.4 fixes everything. For me, it has fixed my export issues, so I'm glad. I'm no longer getting lines and artifacts on my renders.
That's great.
However, I'm still having several issues, and they seem to be linked to Adobe and Open CL.
Here's a video that shows what's going on:
mac pro issues july 7 - YouTube
Issue #1
Like most of you probably, I'm doing 1080p exports of most things I'm working on. The first project shows a 1080p timeline with a mix of 4k, 5k, and 720p footage. Because zooming in so much on a 720p file in a 4k timeline looks so crappy, I'm doing 1080p timelines and scaling everything to the size it needs to be. I started in a 4k timeline then switched to 1080p because the 720p footage looked so terrible. However, in the 4k timeline, I didn't have any of the issues I'm showing in this first part of the video.
When I switched to the 1080p timeline, I discovered a weird quirk: When I resize the 4k (or 5k) footage to the size it needs to be (which varies based on the frame I want), it goes back to the 100% view when I'm scrubbing through it. When I pause, the size of the video goes back to the way I set it. I show this in the video. Then I show what was my working solution for the time being: "scale to frame size", which brings all the videos to the size of the sequence frame size and works fine. Later, I turn off OpenCL in premiere and when I scrub through the video, it doesn't zoom back in or only stay at the size I set when stopped. For some reason all of these issues only happen at 50% scale or smaller. It doesn't happen at, say, 60%.
I've tested this with raw R3D files and other 4K (or 5K) clips (even clips exported from After Effects) and the same thing happens. It doesn't seem to happen with 2.5k footage or 1080p footage.
Issue #2
This is the second project you'll see in the video.
After grading in speedgrade (through direct link) I open my project back up in premiere and start playing it back. The video plays back with delays and frame drops. Now normally, this would be expected. But this is 1080p pro res footage, and this is just an effect added, and the yellow bar appears indicating that open CL should be accelerating the playback and it should do so smoothly.
Maybe I was just wrong in assuming that a simple grade from speedgrade would be able to playback smoothly. I turn off the grade, and it plays normally.
But then, when I turn off open cl and leave the grade on, the video plays back without ANY issues.
So to me, it seems I'm still having issues with Open CL and adobe. I've found fixes that make it work temporarily, I don't need that kind of answer. However, I would like this to work. Is there something I'm doing wrong? Something I need to do to get this to work?
Here are my specs:
Mac Pro 6,1 (Late 2013)
3 GHz 8-Core Intel Xeon E5
64 GB 1867 MHz DDR3 ECC
AMD FirePro D700 6144 MB (x2)
OSX 10.9.4
Firmware: 2.20f18
What you're seeing is latest version of Premiere (CC 2014, v8.0.0 [169] Build)
Everything here is ProRes 422, running from a Promise Pegasus2 R4 RAID (drives: 4x Seagate Desktop HDD 4 TB SATA 6Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive ST4000DM000) (that's thunderbolt 2).
I've done everything: I've restarted my computer hundreds of times, I've reset NVRAM and PRAM and done power cycles.
This isn't just some issue that started with 10.9.3 of OSX, the 4k issues happened when I first switched to a 1080p sequence back in February (2014) or so, which means it was an issue even with 10.9.2 and the previous firmware release.
I've reported this issue to adobe.

That crash appears to be casued by the Facebook plug-in.
Create a new account (systempreferences -> accounts or Users & Groups on 10.7 and 10.8), make a new Library in that account, import some shots and see if the problem is repeated there. If it is, then a re-install of the app might be indicated. If it's not, then it's likely the app is okay and the problem is something in the main account.

Can I transfer a Raw Photo to PSE 9 with a direct link and keep changes

I have limited expertise in all of this stuff so please understand.
I recently upgraded to PSE 9 because I bought the Nikon D7000.
Unfortunately I have had nothing but nightmares with the upgrade.
PSE has eliminated BRIDGE and I can no longer open a RAW file in PSE 9 from the camera.
They have something called Organizer but the Adobe Forum is full of issues about it.
I have found it useless and it may stem from both having a MAC and the D7000.
*Here is my question :*
I can use Nikon Transfer to Nikon View NX2 to open the RAW files.
However if I make any changes in View they do not carry over to PSE and ACR (Adobe Camera RAW)
AND
I cannot find a way to have a direct link from View NX2 to PSE 9 and ACR.
I have to drag and drop onto the desktop and then drag and drop into PSE / ACR.
*If I purchase Aperture ($80.00) can I make changes in Aperture and then have a direct link to PSE 9 if I need to make changes or adjustments in PSE and keep the RAW changes from Aperture ?*
I hope I made my dilemma clear.
Thanks,
Greg

Your question pivots about several issues, each of which will bear on what you end up doing.
Briefly, what you'll find is that Aperture does its own RAW conversion (and does it well). You can follow that with either of the following:
- use PSE9 as an external editor, in which case Aperture creates a copy of the converted RAW file in either TIFF or PSD format (you choose), sends it to PSE9, and receives the changed file back. At this point you have two images in Aperture: your converted image (with Aperture adjustments, if added) and your externally-edited image. Note that your original RAW file is never changed, and remains available.
- using Aperture, export a copy of your RAW original, and then open it in any program you want. In this case, that program will need to be (or include) a RAW converter. And Aperture will not track the file in any way at all once it is exported.
... can I make changes in Aperture and then have a direct link to PSE 9 if I need to make changes or adjustments in PSE and ...
So that's "Yes" to the first part and ...
... and keep the RAW changes from Aperture ?
... I'm not sure what you mean to specify in this part.
