Direct Link to Adobe SpeedGrade Greyed Out

Hi,
I've just downloaded SpeedGrade from the Cloud. It and Premiere Pro CC are up to date. However, when I click on my sequence and try to hit "direct link to adobe speedgrade" the option is greyed out and I can't. Can some help me please?
I'm running Windows 7.
I've opened the sequence directly from Speedgrade, but cannot get the direct link to work sending it back to Premiere either.
Thanks,
Tim

There are two things that typically leave this result ... first, that one of the programs is not actually the 'equivalent' of the other. There've been quite a few posts on here where folks thought both releases were the latest, but after checking again, found that one was out of 'sync' with the other. Very worth re-checking.
The other is a preference-file mis-match. For quite a few problems like this around install situations, somehow one or both program's preference files get out of whack. Depending on your OS, there's some very specific places to go check & probably delete your preference files & then re-start the programs. That will fix most things like this not involving mis-matched editions. You can find a number of threads here and FAQ's listed on deleting your preference files. Check on the "Overview" tab page for this and for the Speedgrade forum for details.

"direct link to adobe speedgrade" is disable

Hello!
I use Premiere Pro CC and Speedgrade CC 2014. But in my Premiere Pro "direct link to adobe speedgrade" is disable. How can I fix it?

Are you using Premiere CC2014, your post isn't clear. When using dynamic link all programs have to be the same version.

Can't select direct link to adobe speedgrade

I cannot select the direct link to adobe speed grade option in premiere

Should be an easy fix! Make sure the Timeline is active before Direct Link to SpeedGrade
Just click in the timeline in Premiere Pro.If it has a yellow line around the Timeline panel, it's active.

Why is my "Open in Adobe Audition" greyed out in PP cs6?

I have the cs6 master collection, pc, with all the updates yet my "Open in Adobe Audition" greyed out in PP cs6?
I cant dynamic link from PP cs6 to audition cs6. Encore & AFX dynamic links work. Audition opens fine on its own & works fine.

For those of you visiting this page because you're having this problem, what's happened is that Adobe, in it's infinite wisdom, has installed a second folder of program files when updating from 6.0 to 7.0 (or perhaps a smaller update). You need to eliminate duplicate folders so Premiere Pro understands where to look. I noticed that my Audition was all by itself in a second Adobe folder, so I moved its contents to the other Adobe folder with the rest of the program's files and made sure they sat squarely in the Audition folder where they once were. I then right clicked on one of the .sesx files and opened it with Audition and viola. I can edit Premiere audio in Audition again.
PS Adobe, I literally use this ONLY because the denoiser in Premiere Pro doesn't work for the first 2 seconds you play a clip. It takes away noise nicely, just never for the first two seconds after I hit the play button, as if it's trying to use that time to figure out what to remove. If it worked correctly, I wouldn't hear the noise go away in my videos after the first two seconds of a clip and I wouldn't have to export to Audition and waste hard-drive space and time.

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?

Why is "edit in Audition" greyed out in Premiere Pro and After Effects?

Since the CC 2014 launch, the option in in Premiere Pro and After Effects to "edit in Audition" is greyed out. Right-clicking a clip in Premiere Pro doesn't have an option for Audition. I cannot send my compositions, sequences or clips to Audition for audio editing. I contacted an Adobe Support personnel earlier this evening. They suggested to go into my Mac's System Preferences and enable a root user, log out of my account, log into the root user, shut down and boot up into safe mode. None of these scenarios worked. It is still greyed out, in both user accounts.
Is this a known issue? I even uninstalled and reinstalled Audition. Still nothing. All my Adobe apps are updated. My Mac is updated. Again, never had this issue before.
I'd appreciate any assistance!
Thank you!
Cheers,
Evan Lockhart

I may have an answer for you, but not sure if my resolution will work for Macs.
First, here's my system and initial info. I'm using a work computer, operating system is Windows 7. I just upgraded to Adobe CC 2014 about a week ago, and I also uninstalled the previous versions of all my Creative Cloud programs after installing the new versions (CC 2014 doesn't just update the previous version, it installs a new program and doesn't automatically uninstall the previous CC programs). Not sure if the uninstall is necessary, for this resolution to work.
Anyway, after I installed Premiere Pro CC 2014 and Audition CC 2014, the Edit Clip in Adobe Audition command was available from the Edit menu in the Menu bar, but was disabled in the right-click menu for the sequence (for the right-click menu, it was visible, but greyed out and disabled). When I tried to use the command from the Edit menu in the Menu bar, it gave me a dialog box to fill out and it created a new folder (titled "Adobe Audition Interchange"). So, the command, when selected from the "Edit menu" obviously uses a different process than the command from the right-click menu. Anyway, I didn't want a new folder created or to fill out a dialog box, I just wanted it to behave like it used to. Basically, when I right-click the sequence and select Edit Clip in Adobe Audition from the right-click menu, it just opens Audition and the audio waveform is visible.
I was able to resolve this and get the right-click command working by reading a couple of articles on this same issue from Adobe CC (not CC 2014) and using those to figure out how to fix this in Adobe CC 2014.
Here's what I did:
I had to locate my .sesx files in my system. They are NOT in the same location as they were for the previous version of CC (at least, they weren't for me). I had to use the Search command and look for .sesx extensions to locate them.
Found them under the path C:>Users>Public>Public Documents>Adobe>Audition>7.0>Session Templates. Note that (for me), there was a folder titled 6.0 on the same level as the 7.0 folder. I selected the 7.0 folder as that folder contained the most recent set of .sesx files. I checked the 6.0 folder and those were the .sesx files from the previous version, so I deleted that folder just as a clean-up step.
I right-clicked on one of the .sesx files in the Session Templates folder and then selected Open with from the right-click menu. The Open with dialog box displays and provides a list of programs.
I selected Adobe Audition CC 2014 from the list of programs (you may have to browse to find it) and then selected Always use the selected program to open this kind of file. I then clicked OK to submit the configuration command and close the Open with dialog box.
I restarted Premiere Pro CC 2014 and the Edit Clip In Adobe Audition command was now enabled on the right-click menu and was working properly.
I wept with joy..... OK, not really, but I'm always irritated at ridiculous regression errors and a lack of thorough testing of new software versions, so I am happy to resolve frustrating issues.
Don't know if this will help you, or if you already resolved your issue. Either way, good luck!

After Effects composition greyed out on Premiere Pro timeline.

Hi,
I have created a timeline in PP CS4, right clicked certain clips and replaced them with AE compositions (using Dynamic Link) and I have then tried to motion stabilize these clips.
However, having completed the motion stabilization in AE and switched back to PP, the clip is greyed out (diagonal bars across it) on the timeline, and scrubbing through the clip now show me that there is no longer any contents shown in the Program monitor.
What gives? Are there certain things that can't be carried through the Dynamic Link feature from AE to PP?
Is there a work-around to this problem?
Thanks
Mikkel

I have same problem, render queue opens and menu items greyed out. I cannot find ae_render_only_node.txt on my system. Am also getting warnings to update CUDA which I did. Now get a warning about not enough VDRAM for 3D... Using latest AE CC 2014 on Yosemite.
Any more suggestions? I just want to open AE and don't plan to do 3D work for now.
Thanks,

Codec settings not available greyed out AME Premiere Pro

Hello,
In CC 2014, when I want to transcode something to Quicktime/ProRes codec, the usual "Codec Settings" button in the Video Codec field is greyed out or not available. It was available in CS6... I could click on it and choose settings, but now I can't.
Just a little bg, but I don't think it matters, I can't choose it no matter what QT codec I choose: I have 23.976 final output that I want to convert to 29.97i for broadcast. Unfortunately, through various tests, in order to get the pulldown correct (without field blurring frames), in CS6 I would set it up in AME, then click the Codec Settings, and select Interlaced. Under Basic Video Settings field all is the usual 29.97, Upper First, etc. But to actually get the correct pulldown (repeat frame every 3 or 4 frames) I need to select the Codec Settings and select interlaced. Unfortunately, in CC 2014, I can't seem to access this option.
Any ideas? Codecs are in the system, everything else seems as it should be...
Thanks,
J

If the volume/disk is setup to be handled by ACLs (the default for 10.4.x) the older style "inherit permissions" is greyed out.
You can achieve inherited permissions from adding ACL permissions to the shared volume/folder by going to Sharing, Access "tab" in WGM. The first level of the share is never inherited (no) but the next level "down" will be (yes).
ACLs on or off is set in WGM by using the All "tab" in Sharing, choosing the volume and the General "tab".
ACLs override the POSIX settings: owner, group, everyone, and is hierarcial (permission list is read/enforced from top -> bottom, first matching "rule" goes)

Video rendering and playback option greyed out on Premiere Pro CC 2014

I cannot even click on the Video rendering and playback drop down menu as it is greyed out.
I have a GeForce GTX 660 2GB card which should be supported as it has enough memory. I am on Windows 7.
Would really appreciate if someone has a solution how to enable Mercury Playback Engine in this situation.

Managed to fix the problem by downloading and installing the GeForce CUDA drivers as well as updating graphics card firmware.
The Mercury Playback engine enabled itself in premiere after the updates.

Context (right click) link to edit audio track with Audition is greyed out in Premiere Pro CS6

I have reported this previously in the forum and I've seen some other posts on this and was hoping that there is either a solution or workaround for this real workflow issue. I read that this is a known bug inserted with the update to 6.0.1. It is now 6.0.3 and time to fix this bug please.
Adobe, if you're listening, this is all about workflow. It's disruptive to a workflow situation where deadlines are important and it shouldn't be a difficult programming problem to fix. It worked before. Make it work again. That's not asking a lot from a customer who has been a Premiere user since the 90s.
Thank you.

It does work for most. So we have to find out why it isn't for you. (Though admittedly, I'm not even sure what questions to ask trying to track down the cause.)

The direct link to speedgrade is desable on premiere pro cc v7.2.2

Mi direct link to speedgrade is desable on premiere pro cc v7.2.2, and the return from speedgrade to premiere is also desable. How can I fixet.
Thanks

For the Direct Link PrPro/Sg/PrPro to work, both PrPro & Sg need to be "equivalent" builds. If one is newer than the other, it's not happening. Unfortunately, the build numbers don't completely naturally "correlate", so i don't recall which Sg build you need to have with the CC7.2.2 PrPro. But this could easily be the problem.
Also, occasionally, they don't "see" each other, and one or both may need a re-install or at least a dumping of the preference files.

Thanks Todd for all the info. It is much appreciated and very helpful. On a different note, could you possibly direct me to the correct forum to fix this bug? I am suddenly recieving a warning on my System SSD referencing Adobe Exchange. Here is a screen grab to best explain:

Adobe Audition CS5.5 with Premiere Pro CS5

Hello everybody.
I am considering downgrading from Master Collection CS5 to Adobe Production Premium CS5.5
But quite frankly it's just because of one application.
Though, i am in doubt if i'll actually going to make the downgrade.
And as you could and might have guessed it is the Adobe Audition CS5.5 Application.
Though really the whole pack has a GREAT improvement overall, I just actaully want to mix SEAMLESSLY with Premiere Pro and sound editing application (Audition).
Which leads me to my next question.
Now with Adobe Soundbooth CS5 closed off (by April 24th), and an UPGRADE for Soundbooth CS5 users to Audition CS5. Does this mean that Audition CS5.5 works SEAMLESSLY with Premiere Pro CS5?
Is there a dynamic link between the two applications? (Audition CS5.5 and Premiere Pro CS5)
AM i able to send mixes between the two? I really don't want to loose any Audio data, such as 5.1 channel mapping, volume mixing, denoising, general mixing etc.
All i really need is some good quality sound editing which works seamless, as After Effects and Premiere Pro has proved to me can be done.
Just want to know if it is possible. Or if I REALLY have to upgrade in order to get the sweet apples.
Best
Lucas

Hi _durin_
Thanks for your quick response.
But I didn't quite understand your answer.
I have seen Jason Levine's video earlier, as CS5.5 was announced and it looks natively good. I understand the mixdown attributes etc.
Please correct me if im wrong HOWEVER this workflow and settings applies still to ONLY the new CS5.5 Version?
Im currently using Master Collection CS5.
Instead of getting either the Production Premium, or Master Collection I am strongly considering updating Soundbooth CS5 to Audition CS5.5 (the option is there as i can tell by SoundBooth's website, though i get a weird error message when I click the update link...)
However I need to know, IF Audition CS5.5 works well with the PREVIOUS version (that'll be CS5 not 5.5), of Premiere Pro.
Are there an option to render the reference video, and generate a interchange session from WITHIN Premiere Pro CS5 to Audition CS5.5?
Im sorry if I either sound harsh or "willingly" misunderstanding. But I have only documentation on how the integration works between the current versions (meaning 5.5).
Im as you can guess VERY confused over the move from Adobe to make a .5 version instead of a full-fledged CS6 solution. It causes a stir, cause I then don't know much of the integration between the previous applications.
I have seen as an example that Photoshop CS5 have gotten the update to receive paintings/files made with their new touch API. So I wonder whether integrational features will be a part of the CS5 pack since, as i've mentioned, an application like Soundbooth gets replaced with Audition, with an upgrade option for the Soundbooth owners.
Im confused and hope you can help me clear my mind up, whether to upgrade or not. I will download the trial eventually, but not onto my current CS5 system since I already use this in my daily video work and want to AVOID confusion.
Best
Lucas
