Future of Speedgrade?

• Pipeline of color SpeedGrade, need help

  I am currently stationed at the color grade a short film using a system composed of HW and SW following:

  HP Z820, nVidia Quadro 4000, Windows 7 x 64 Adobe Speedgrade CS6 and a Dell U3011 10-bit display connected via Displayport (made not have LUT HW capacity)

  I have trouble understanding my color pipeline and how to manage it. In particular, Speedgrade CS6 is run not a color app (although Premiere Pro CS6, is) and therefore does not use the ICC profiles loaded on my system. I can create a LUT of my ICC profiles and load in Speedgrade as "calibration" LUTs, but I'm still not clear where this fits in the pipeline. I want to understand how ICC profiles created by i1Profiler xrite are used in this particular situation, that is, in my Nikon D810 (flat) H.264 in Pr acquisition, cut and exit like DPX (or not), interfere in Sg as DPX (or native MOV), classified, exit to create FADS for festivals.

  I know that my particular monitor and use of ICC profiles is not the preferred option, I have already said on the various forums of d-cinema, but unfortunately, this is what I have and what I need to use for this project. I'm trying to understand the pipeline of color in THIS particular system to make the best decisions possible obtain the best possible result.

  Specifically, is there any part of the ICC (monitor calibration/profiling) profile that can / will serve as Speedgrade? For example, I think that there is a matrix (for example, vcgt) or READ any loaded in the HW of the Quadro 4000 at startup by the loader profile xRite (or windows, whatever the case may be), but is then affect all applications, both managed and unmanaged color? Or is - it too, managed by the Windows CMS? If the first, then what part of the ICC will be used by Speedgrade and whose part won't (regarding the adaptation of the color, transform, gamma, etc., i.e., what did the LUT in the Quadro do for me and no color y managed apps)?

  My goal is to import video data from Rec709 (which I guess now my Nikon product) in Speedgrade (which I believe works natively in XYZ space) and be able to see a representation of Rec709 on my monitor, but also to be able to vary the gamma of my screen (e.g., 2, 3(2), 6) to see what my video would look like DCI 3 p in a theater. I understand there are MANY other considerations as surround it, the ambient light levels, etc., but I'll try to manage those better I can too. In addition, this short film is a horror of day and night, so it will be overall dark and mono-chrome (ish), but I don't want to do a theater and see nothing else that black with a small movement here or there. I don't mean to the reproduction of color perfect; I'm more concerned with good reproduction of gamma and black levels.

  No indication on how the monitor profile ICC I create with spectro i1Profiler and i1Pro is used by Speedgrade (and Pr) in my work flow would be greatly appreciated. In addition, all understand how (and when / if) to use the calibration of Speedgrade lut to facilitate this process would be useful. I can also use Photoshop to check the Sg TIFFs with different profiles for final check - anyone done this before?

  Thank you

  I intend to calibrate my screen using xRite i1Profiler and i1Pro spectrometer to Rec709. In this case, the operating system must load the lut in the Quadro 4000 and, if I understand what you said above, as long as Sg and Pr display RGB 709 data, I should be fine, right? But then, I have the following question:

  You will be ok with respect to the list Rec.709 data correctly on a screen that conform to this standard. Indeed, it does not cover your data management.

  1. given that Pr and Sg are not aware, color if I bring in a file in a different color space, it will be not displayed correctly, right (as Sg will not be using Windows CMM color space transformation)? However, if I have a LUT to transform different Rec709 color space, I could load a LUT of calibration in the Assembly / installation / calibration and display correct, correct?

  They are aware of coloor - both are designed to bring in pipelines Rec.709 (true for the CS6 version). SpeedGrade can also be used in other scenarios, but for simplicity of your facility, consider two applications being colour managed - it's 709 through and through (with the exception of internal transformation in SG color - making using a much wider RGB 32-bit floating point pipeline to avoid any artifacts).

  What I have is pretty simple, but there are a few pieces that I did not yet understand to manage at best. Initially, I brought all my images in my Nikon D810 Pr, cut it and locked the picture. In this scenario of Pr, I have images of evoke, others to 23.976 and some to 59.97 (for slow-mo) use. I have also several comps Ae included natively in the form of title sequences, a model of VFX Ae where I composed a photo in a clip, an element above the same clip but slightly shifted a couple of images to create a feeling of dizziness and a model of EI where I sped up a clip that was shot too slowly and finally a credit rolling Pr generated at the end. In addition, I have a couple of fades in/out/from black, hold the few images created by using the key on the original film frames. I have a temporary rank in adjustment layers in Pr currently as a quick overview of temp. After the locking of the photo, I coded the image and it imported in AU, where I just finished a synchronization of soundtrack in 5.1 surround to the image. I'm now trying to take the final step, rank in the Official Journal and export and convert to the STC.

  There are several issues I have been struggling with, for which you might be able to offer the future. They are:

  2. What is the best way to get the images in Sg? I tested both export to the option of Sg in Pr using DPX and an EDL export and load native images of MOV among camera options (though, as I have explained above, not all my images on a single video track in Pr, which complicates an EDL export). The h.262 native seems to be a bit slower on the first run in the Official Journal, but once rendered/updated cache, it is real time on my machine. I like the idea of using the original footage, but do not know which option is preferable. A question I have is that the model of EI where I sped up the images, even if it plays properly as a model of Ae on the chronology of the Pr, includes artifacts (i.e., flashing) when exporting of Pr in this way. If I encode in Ae and import that new second gen footage in the Pr, it encodes without the artifacts of PR. would prefer to avoid second gen images if possible, since I'm already starting with h.264 4:2:0.

  Some general thoughts:

  convert your videos for a better standard such as RGB DPX 444 is not really diminish your quality and has little to do with generational loss (I personally would only talk about generational issues when using any type of compression or reduce the color gamut or bit depth).

  In this perspective, will DPX completely once you have run the creative tasks base in various applications makes most things - except for storage needs. I would like to do the math for how much storage you need for the entire project and I would check also this performance of reading on DPX is here - HD, looking to 170 MB/s in trhoughput, and at 24 fps your system will have to endure a time of access by file as ms 42/chassis. On any SSD that will deliver you (but capacity could be a problem), most hard drives will have enough capacity to 90 minutes these days, but performance may be a problem (a small RAID could be the solution here).

  2B. also, I know people do not bring titles, rolling credits, etc. in note final and this in their application of finishing (for example, Pr), but is always the best approach? Are there benefits to be? Would it not preferable (and realistic) to render all the comps to DPX Ae title, pull those and the original film in Sg with EDL, rank and for DPX and re export - import in Pr to add titles, credits and export to TIFF for STC? Or would it be OK just to export the entire chronology of Pr to DPX, including titles, credits and comps Ae as a single series DPX and draw than in Sg and end there? The audio will be added separately as part of the process of creation of the DCP in any case. If I use Ae separately encode any part, what do I need to worry when you export the files, color space, etc., to ensure consistency between them and native images in Sg (Ae being aware of color)?

  There will be other people with more experience in day-to-day practice advice on one of the two approaches.

  I always prefer to keep things very simple - I then push everything through the same pipe and use a trust format.

  With respect to EI, the production should be 709, too.

  BTW, I hope that your film D810 is also Rec.709 - if it is Adobe RGB, there is additional work to come.

  3. how Sg supports RGB data internally? If I insert the Rec708 RGB data, Sg converts to XYZ to perform any processing and then back to Rec709 for Sg monitor? If this is the case, how does he know the original source color space if I didn't say it (to convert)? Or, Sg ignores color space altogether if the calibration is not used, or until you make and apply a LUT, and the work on whatever data RGB is there anyway (that is, the numbers are a few numbers)? It seems that Sg may not care what are RGB data, which is why we use LUTS with abandon (which themselves define the source and target color spaces), unlike the ICC using the mid-range PCS for transformations of all (most) and some information must be known (or suspected).

  SG is transparent - are simply numbers. This means that your AE 709 output and body will look just the same, and it will work fine with a monitor calibrated to 709.

  4. can you explain the purpose and use of the color tab space by default in Sg? I think I have watched all of your videos teaching and cannot recall having seen all the details that helped me to better understand how make us of it (assuming that I need in my particular case). I don't know that it touches in the Official Journal or how to use it best.

  I hope that I will get to write something about this more later this week. As expected, it is a little more complicated - and things have changed since the CS6.

  5. oh, Yes, the conversion of 23.976 in 24 hours! For the best compatibility with festivals, I intend to create my DCP to 24,000 IPS, not 23.976 native of the original images. Do you have a recommendation on WHERE I need to do this transformation? My calendar of current Pr sequence is 23.976. I would like to copy and past the cut into a sequence of nine 24,000 timeline, just convert on export DPX, or leave at 23.976 until exporting of Sg, or...? I created the soundtrack of export 23.976, unfortunately, but I can fix it in AU to adapt to 24,000. I know just as SOUL, Pr, Ae, and Sg all have slight differences, advantages and disadvantages, in their rendering engines and don't really know what is the best to use in my situation. Any ideas on that?

  Yet once, others hopefully have tips that are a little more generated by being in the thick of things - I this post separately on the forum of the SOUL.

  In my humble OPINION, any temporal conversion is troubled. Most players DCP accept on any fps lately, and so I would leave it alone.

  If you do not need to convert, it should be done as part of the final output and as an alternative to the original (you are eliminating the possibility to leave it blank by converting in advance).

  Oh, regarding the thing Qt already mentioned: If you can, avoid using all Quicktimes in CS6 workflow.

  I try whenever I can ;-) BTW, do you know if this flaw affect the use of the Avid DNxHD codec under the aegis of the QT?

  Yes, it's certainly wrong. Some applications decode DNxHD natively, others allow the engine to QT. The latter showed a wide variety of results in gamma, saturation, estimated - according to the version of QT you have and the DNxHD plugin version.

  These days, not a big problem with the CC package - we went to unified and native decoding for applications later.

  CS6 is not really an ideal environment for the use of this codec, so I would start not looking for various workaround solutions that you will find on the internet. There is always something that will make you difficulty, yet one thing at the end (and compromise, you don't want to).

  See you soon,.

• Adobe Speedgrade does not open!

  Adobe Speedgrade does not open! All I get is the splash screen and then nothing but a grey window. I uninstalled and reinstalled the program with no luck. What is happening to someone else?

  Hi Neil,

  I should have added this to the thread yesterday after the solution has been found, I talked with Adobe and had their distance in troubleshooting for me so that the problem has been resolved. But I appreciate your help as well as information on the cleaning of Adobe for future reference tool.

• What systems the Pros use for the first, After Effects and SpeedGrade?

  I bought the complete creative cloud in the hope of a career for me in editing audio/visual. The problem is my system doesn't seem to be able to manage the software, especially when changing back and forth between the three programs mentioned above. In addition, my first project cannot export correctly. In addition, throughout its development the offbeat bad system. And that's after following all of the recommendations of preferences available under tutorials Adobe and elsewhere on the Web.

  Here is my system:

  SYX-P67A-C43: Intel Core i7 2600 (a unit of 8 strands) to 3.4 GHz with 8 GB of RAM (which will be soon 16) with a NVidia GTX 550 card, 1Gig of RAM.

  As you can see, it's well beyond what Adobe claims to be the minimum requirements. It is obviously NOT the case.

  What systems the Pros use (like the guys in the tutorials) for the first, After Effects and SpeedGrade? Give me accurate machines with all the specs so I can a price upward.

  Right now X 99 with DDR4 gives best performance for media applications of particular content with GPU acceleration. I suggest an I7 5960 X, 32 GB of DDR4 2666, 980GTX video card and Asus X 99 board with storage depends on the media. Far, who will perform the 2600 is old of 2 generations at this stage, which is only a Quad core with HT. The same X 99 tips can also manage the Xeons V3 if you upgrade the processor in the future for a larger load in real-time.

• SpeedGrade very slow on the GPU acceleration

  My system has a nvidia gtx 590.

  I have run triple monitors so I need two GPU (590 is an FYI double card)

  When you run speedgrade in GPU acceleration even at 1/4 ground video is maybe 10-12 fps

  the software only reads it in real-time to the ground full...

  I guess that's a multiple GPU issue?

  a way to solve this problem?

  I seem to have solved this... will post for those who seek in the future...

  I used speedgrade mode dual monitor

  the display of the desktop interface was on GPU 2 while the secondary output was on 1 GPU... speedgrade didn't like that

  When I went to the office and secondary to GPU 1... everything worked fine. Can now read the full ground on the gpu acceleration

• Calendar of future events is not displayed

  Calendar does not show future events in the search & spotlight search also

  Welcome Kevin_lpc,

  Thanks for posting on Apple Support communities. I see that the calendar does not show upcoming events in your Spotlight search. I know how it is to have. I'll be more than happy to help.

  Take a look at this article:

  Use the search on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch - Apple Support

  In particular, take a look at the end that talks on the parameters. You want to make sure that the calendar is enabled in Spotlight search.

  Change search settings

  Go to settings > general > Spotlight search.

  From there, you can enable or disable the Suggestions of Siri and choose which applications to include in your search. For example, if you don't want to see the results of the research in your Messages app, you can deselect Messages.

  If you don't want Siri or Spotlight to suggest close places, go to settings > privacy > location Services and press Siri and dictation. Under allow access to location, tap never. Find out where you can use the Spotlight Suggestions.

  Take care!

• In watch OS 3, by turning the Crown does not appear past/future events/time

  In previous versions of watchOS, turning the Crown while on the dial of the watch changed the time and showed the complication for both values changed.  For example, by turning the Crown can show time as one hour in the future and would show the temperature because it was expected to be in the future an hour.

  I've updated my watch watch OS 3 and it no longer works.  By turning the Crown while on the dial of the watch does nothing.

  Anyone watching this?  Is there a setting in order to restore the former function?

  Go to watch on the iPhone, go to the clock, turn on the trip in time, by default the OS 3 is turned off (unlike the OS 2, where it was).

• How will I know if a future event I created was sent to those invited to attend a meeting?

  First of all, how can I send the future event message because there is no button to press to send the event to participants - as the checkbox 'Notify participants' has been checked?
  Secondly, no message appears not to say that the invitation has been sent?
  Third, how can you ask for guests to answer if he is able to attend the meeting?

  Use of the lightning calendar.

  Thank you

  There is no button to press to send the event to participants - as the checkbox 'Notify participants' has been checked?

  This box will trigger the message of invitation to all participants when the event is logged.

  No message appears to say that the invitation has been sent?

  There is no dedicated notification, but you can check the "sent" folder.

  How can you ask to respond if he is able to attend the meeting?

  After your meeting invitation, it is up to the participants to accept or decline your invitation.
  If an invitation has been accepted, you will receive a confirmation message.

• What is the future of the RHEL6 for firefox?

  I was curious, so I downloaded firefox 44 from the server every night. It does not work on RHEL6. Which made me wonder how long firefox will continue to be available to RHEL6. I searched, but I can't find a future roadmap OS compatibility. Surely one exists, somewhere.

  How long firefox will support RHEL6?

  I can not answer, but I noticed that the system requirements for Linux usually is expressed by specific versions of libraries and packages.

  So for Firefox 41:

  • Firefox won't work at all without the following libraries or packages:

         GTK+ 2.18 or higher
         GLib 2.22 or higher
         Pango 1.14 or higher
         X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
         libstdc++ 4.3 or higher
  

  • For optimal functionality, we recommend that libraries or the following packages:

         NetworkManager 0.7 or higher
         DBus 1.0 or higher
         HAL 0.5.8 or higher
         GNOME 2.16 or higher
  

  For Firefox beta (Firefox future, 42) there is a significant change for the first article:

  • Firefox won't work at all without the following libraries or packages:

         GTK+ 3.4 or higher
         GLib 2.22 or higher
         Pango 1.14 or higher
         X.Org 1.0 or higher (1.7 or higher is recommended)
         libstdc++ 4.3 or higher
  

  • For optimal functionality, we recommend that libraries or the following packages:

         NetworkManager 0.7 or higher
         DBus 1.0 or higher
         HAL 0.5.8 or higher
         GNOME 2.16 or higher
  

  Developer Edition lists the same requirements as the Beta.

  It is without doubt a similar list for every night, but the download pages are organized differently and I do not see.

• The Mac Pro has a future?

  The Mac Pro has a future? Processors seem to have reached a plateau and it is no longer an Apple Display Monitor for it. I want to replace my 2009 model at the beginning because it will not support the Sierra and would prefer a Pro for an iMac as I run SETI 24/7.

  I think that early 2009 Mac Pro is supported of Sierra, although...

  Sierra has Siri requiring a microphone that Mac Pro does not, so we need to do, even if Apple can't sell microphone or headset for Mac Pro.

  I use Sierra Beta Version2 on 2012, MacBook Air and it's fun.
