Adobe SpeedGrade For Mac

Adobe SpeedGrade is a comprehensive Mac application that enables you to color correct videos, while also enabling you to apply various grades or styles.

The utility is part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite, and integrates seamlessly with Adobe Premiere Pro: you can easily transfer the project back and forth to complete the production process.

To be able to deploy the Adobe SpeedGrade application, you must first install the Adobe Applications Manager application and login to your Adobe account. Since this is the standard procedure for all Adobe applications, you must perform the action only once.

Thanks to the Direct Link integration function (can be enabled via the Adobe Premier Pro main menu), you will be able to quickly import the project you are currently working on into the SpeedGrade workspace and process sequences with minimal effort.

Adobe SpeedGrade retains the structured design sported by most Adobe applications, so finding your way around its interface is quite easy. The app provides a viewer area where you can preview the videos, creates a visual timeline for the project’s content, and enables you to apply various layers and masks in order to create different styles and effects.

Moreover, Adobe SpeedGrade provides multiple “scopes” (analysis tools) that can help you balance the colors used in the video. You have the option to make contrast and color adjustments, you can remove color casts, or compare different shots and identify further necessary modifications.

Adobe SpeedGrade offers you the possibility to quickly copy the settings and color corrections between shots, but also includes a Continuity Checker tool that enables you to verify if your grades match throughout the entire project or sequence.

For your convenience, Adobe SpeedGrade also includes a collection of masks and looks (available through the Look Manager panel) in order to help you give a certain style to your project without too much effort.
