Sending speed grade back to premiere CC

I'm not able to do this as the option "Direct link to Premiere Pro" is greyed out. Am I missing something?

Version 7.2.0 on SG. Version 7.0.0 on PP.
Opening a PP project through SG I do have the option to go back "direct to PP". Weird, it just seems to be this tutorial project that is not working and giving me the direct to PP option. Hmmm.
Hoping that this will work for all my non-tutorial projects in the future. I appreciate your help.

Dynamic link from Premiere to Speed grade is incredible slow.

Dynamic link from Premiere to Speed grade is incredible slow. About 10 minutes or so. I usually measure the time by hands of Solitaire, min 3 wins. I've trashed prefs, OS and apps all updated, run system maintenance. I'm at a loss. This workflow isn't working for me. Please give me some troubleshooting ideas.
Thanks Bill

yeah thats basically it, you could leave premiere open but save and close the project before opening it up in speedgrade. if you are going to be in speedgrade a while, its best to just close premiere so it doesn't tie up any system resources sitting in the background. the dynamic link buttons/commands in premiere and speedgrade just save, close, and open in other program. so once you do your work in speedgrade save the project, close, then open it back in premiere and it should all be there.

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.

How do I match shots in Premiere Pro without using Speed Grade which crashes on opening?

Unfortunately, Speed Grade crashes every time I open. Adobe said it was a problem with the graphics card and they were working on a fix. That was a few weeks ago and nothing has been fixed. My problem is that I need to match my shots in my project and I cannot find a way to do this in any of the tutorials I've looked at. They keep referring back to SG which is not helpful. Anyone know a step by step guide for matching shots in PPcc please?

Hello,
You will only need to download the CUDA driver listed below. From NVIDIA this driver "Supports all NVIDIA products available on Mac HW."
http://www.nvidia.com/object/macosx-cuda-5.5.47-driver.html
Here's the steps:
Note: Quadro FX for Mac or GeForce for Mac must be installed prior to CUDA 5.5.47 installation
Double - click on CUDADriver-5.5.47-macos.dmg
Click Continue on the CUDA 5.5 Installer Welcome screen
Click Continue after you read the License Agreement and then click Agree
Click Install on the Standard Install Screen. You will be required to enter an Administrator password
Once you see the Successful Installation screen, your install is complete. No restart is required

Steps to send a clip to AE to utilize Warp Stabilizer VFX then back to Premiere Pro CC

So I use Warp Stabilizer for about 200 clips per project. It's effectiveness has shaped how I shoot. It's awesome. Now there's VFX in AE...Can someone layout the steps involved in the following:
a) Taking a clip from Premiere Pro CC and sending it to After Effects CC (I'm not that versed in using AE having not used it in quite a while)
b) Then how to apply the new Warp Stabilizer VFX (I assume just go to effects>distort>WarpStabilizerVFX ???) ... (if there are tutorials on how exactly to use it, especially detailing exactly how to utilize the new feature of isolating what in the frame is to be stabilized that would be great too)
c) Then how to send it back to Premiere Pro CC. (I'm guessing I just save it and let dynamic link take care of the rest?)
I've tried right-clicking on a clip and selecting "replace with AE composition" (is that what I should do?), then applying the effect but I get a "warp stabilizer VFX analysis doesn't work with Collapse Transformations" message so I stopped. If it makes any difference, the majority of my footage is shot at 60p and then interpreted and edited at 23.976fps. Thanks!
NOTE TO STAFF: I've said it before and I'll say it again as someone who uses warp stabilizer several hundred times per week, I still think the default "method" in the settings should be "Position, Scale, Rotation" instead of Subspace Warp because it works FAR better (less wobble and less scaling about 90% of the time). Can't help myself I had to bring that up again here.

a) Select a clip in PrPro timeline, right-click and choose 'Replace With After Effects Composition'. Take care of handles if you might need them (that's rather general tip).
Warning about Collapse Transformation switch indicates that you have 'Scale to Frame Size' option enabled for your clips in PrPro timeline. If that was done intentionally, you can simply toggle the Collapse Transformation switch (small sun icon) off. If not, rather disable 'Scale to Frame Size' for your clips in PrPro timeline.
b) Quite a boring but covering almost all necessary details tutorial on basic work with Warp Stabilizer in AE CC from Adobe TV:
Some advanced techniques from Lynda.com
and Mathias Möhl:
c) When you're happy with your work in AE and going to lock it, render a digital intermediate out of AE, import it into PrPro and replace your dynamically linked composition in the timeline with that DI (see this good old thread on Dynamic Link workflow, pay attention to Todd's comments).
If you leave the 'Include Project Link' checkbox in the Output Module Settings dialog enabled while rendering your DI, you can easily get back to appropriate AE project so as to maybe tweak some settings: just select your DI in PrPro timeline, right-click and choose 'Edit Original'.
Mind the bloating issue, keep the amount of applied Warp Stabilizer instances in a single AE project reasonable.

Dynamic link button from speed grade to premiere is grey.

Dynamic Link button from Speedgrade to Premier is grey. No problems Linking from Premier to SG, but no way to send the project back to Premier. The project is in Apple ProRes 4444. I have a Mac Pro last generation. Thanks for an urgent help!

Well... I have done everything you advice first SG, but it didn't work, so I have cleaned the whole CC, erasing any possible trace of it from my computer, then I have gone through the Cleaner Tool and reinstalled brand new the whole thing.
My builds now:
PrPro: 8.2.0(65)
SpeedGrade: 8.2x51
Exactly the same. Obviously, troubleshooting.
For what I understand, according to your comment, is that I ave to match the builds, which would mean either to low down PP to 51 or up SG to 65... Is ti that or am I getting crazy?
But how the hell to do it?
I have a 2 hours film with a 1 month grading work on it stuck in SG... Aaaaahhhhh!
(Oh, the good old times of FCP 7 and Color... NEVER A PROBLEM)

Premiere Pro to Speed Grade Error

so this is the error i get when trying to do a direct link to adobe speed grade. im sure this is a simple fix. right now im on the 30 free trial for both applications.

I've resolved my problem thanks to post by @gagneh on this forum. It turned out to be the NVidia nView Desktop Manager applet found in the Control Panel. It was enabled, and I believe it has been enabled for a long time. I don't know if something in a recent update broke things, but as soon as I disabled the Desktop Manager, my dynamic link started working again in all aspects. Give it a try. Good luck.

Importing graded footage back to Premiere Pro CS6

I am trying to color correct/grade my clips. I sent it to Speedgrade through Premiere Pro (CS6) but after rendering it out as a DPX, and trying to send it back to Premiere Pro (DPX as image sequence), not all graded clips were there. (Clip is 4:40 min) but only 1:39 min is what was imported back to Premiere Pro.

I've found on occasion that I've tried to export and didn't catch that the export dialog thought I was only trying to export something highlighted or had another setting for "area selected". I would guess you've run afoul of something similar ... or a box that was checked you might not even realize was there. As I just found trying to (for the first time in a year) export an EDL from PrPro to Sg. I had to puzzle out something like three different places the two programs were trying to help me before I could get the blasted EDL and footage both imported to the same Sg timeline.
As an alternative to DPX there is of course two different EDL processes ... one where you simply export an EDL and then after creating your Sg project, navigate to that through Sg's Media panel, drag it to the timeline, then using the Media Panel navigate to the folder containing your clips, then use the "load from desktop" option to populate your timeline.
The other ... you export both the EDL and the sequence from timeline, and then put one on the new Sg project timeline, drag the other on top. It takes a bit longer to do the export from PrPro of the footage which is probably not needed most of the time.
I've just put up on the forum an explanation of how to do this with progressive footage and avoid the hiccups the two programs can throw at you. The first one ... if all your media is in a single folder-tree ... is very quick & easy. That EDL export is nearly instantaneous, and the clips load over it just bango ... now, I used to have problems at times exporting (rendering) a timeline out of Sg. I don't know if an EDL process can work sending grading back to PrPro, I think you'd have to render out. But many people did that all the time without problems.

Speed grade CS6 crashes every time I try to open it

I looked up my Speed Grade CS6 and it stated it worked with OS6.8 and OS7. Well, mine will not open, it crashes every time i try to open it. I have and older Mac Pro 1.1 and can back door it and different processor but am I wasting my time and money I don't have? Help!

Not on Mac myself, but I've seen several issues on new installs that can be a pain. First ... there's some permissions on the Mac that can with some of the OS releases get set wrong ... similar to the way on the PC side of things some folks have to set it to "run as Administrator account" or something like that. Sorry but I don't know the precise language or location of that setting.
Second, on installation some times there can be garbage created in pref settings that can cause this ... trying to remember ... it's I think holding shift-alt- while starting the program that gets it by the prefs & setup files, which sometimes fixes this.
Third, at times you just need to uninstall/reinstall. Best done using Adobe's CC Cleaner tool, as it deletes all the preference/setup files that typical OS uninstalls don't get. And are realistically the things you most want GONE to fix this.

Help with render settings in Speed Grade

Ok, I have been using Premiere Pro, After Effects, Photoshop, and Illustrator for a while and have a good work flow using them. Now I want to add production value to my work. I just started using Speed Grade a few days ago and I am impressed with what it can do. I need help. Here is my problem: Creating a usable render.
My work flow:
All my footage is shot on Canon 7D cameras at 23.976 1080p
I import my footage to Premeire Pro and edit my sequences
I then export my combined sequences to either: H.264 for bluray or Mpeg 2 for DVD
I then create a Disc Menu ect in Encore and export as a Disc Image and burn my discs
What I would like to do is add Spped grade coloring in my work flow.
I know how to export my edited sequences in Pre Pro for Speed Grade (SG). But After I get the sequences to SG: how and what settings should I use to render out and then go to Encore to create my Disc Images?
Every rednering setting I use has not worked. Both Quick Time and Microsoft Media Player say they can not play the files I render out.
What is the best way to do this? Thank you.

Thank you for the reply. I will give that a try. But, I do find Speedgrade's render options rather confusing. What if I make a project in After Effects, let's say a time lapse and after I've built my project and timed my shots to a sound track ect. I want to improve the color in speedgrade. After applying my color correction in SP how would I ecport it to be playable on QuickTime or Windows Media player?

RE: Speed Grade Crashes Many Times

Hello Everyone.
I just started learning Speed Grade. I have a Basic Movie In Premiere Pro with few Adjustment Layers, and I have choose: Direct Link To Adobe Speed Grade.
while working in Speed Grade It did Crashed many times. I have a new computer with 16 Gig of Ram, with a good Graphic Card.
the Error message only showed: Speed Grade Stopped Working.
Thanks.

My current Driver Version was 335.23, And I noticed there is a new update 337.88 that I just updated.
regarding Shift-Alt-Delete Crashing, It did crashed on other occasions only when I was playing with the colors.
I am going to watch very carefully to see if It crashes next time on what occasion.
UPDATED:
It did crashed while clinking on the Undo arrow.
Dose the Undo arrow works like other adobe programs for example can you undo like 10 times ?
Thanks
UPDATED AGAIN:
It did crashed again while Holding Asterisk Key * and also Holding Slash Key / from the Num- Pad of key-board
I noticed while Holding the Asterisk Key * it changes the FPS so you can watch your footage faster and Holding Slash key /
from the Num-Pad It reduces the FPS
Thanks

Speed grade download

I have CC but Speed grade does not show in it and when I go to the download site, it won't download even after Iog in.?

Which OS are you using? With the new CC apps, most of the pro video and audio applications now require 64-bit operating systems to run. These native 64-bit applications include Adobe Premiere® Pro CC, Adobe Audition® CC, After Effects® CC, Prelude® CC, and SpeedGrade® CC. Flash Professional CC, Photoshop CC and Lightroom® also require 64-bit on Mac OS.

Can't even get started in Speed Grade

Must be my own ignorance but I can't even see thumbnails in Speed Grade. All I see are empty boxes representing the clips that I think I have loaded (see screen grab). Am I supposed to be able to load video files directly from a hard drive or do they have to be in a Premiere project first? The instructions from Adobe are less than clear to me. Thanks.

As Dennis noted above, the .MTS format is not supported in SpeedGrade. That's why no thumbnail images are displaying from this files.
If the video file is a supported format, you can load it onto the SpeedGrade timeline. Either double-click the file, or drag it onto the Timeline.
You can load files from anywhere in your system (fast drives and connections recommended, of course). Just navigate to the location using the file tree on the left.
Final thing to bear in mind: there is a dropdown menu in the top of the media browser (slightly to the right of the middle) which lets you choose whether to show only the files in the current folder, or all the files in the subfolders as well.
This blog post may also be helpful for you:

Linking back into premiere, PSDs unlink

I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced an unlinking issue when moving from Speedgrade back into Premiere with direct link? I have 3 PSDs on the line, and every time I move from SG back to PPro two of them unlink and the third remains linked.. I cannot fathom why this might be the case.. none of my source files are moving, and it is very inconvenient. Any solutions to the problem would be appreciated, or if it is a bug perhaps a fix could be implemented in a future release.
Thanks!

Hi,
Some PSDs could cause that problem. We are trying to solve that problem for a future release.
I'm sending you a PM.
Thanks,
Fran
