needles27 Nov 6, 2013 1:15 PM (in response to Dave Dugdale)• SG doesn't use Curve adjustments...just something to get used to.
• In the layer panel, click the + button, and you will see a list of fx and other goodies. Sharpen is in that list.
• In prefs, you can select resolution for playback and pause - if you aren't getting realtime, you can try and drop the playback resolution.
• You can zoom into the timeline by holding Opt (mac...not sure about PC) and scrolling mouse wheel. I'm sure there is another way, too...
- 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?

R Neil Haugen Nov 6, 2013 3:13 PM (in response to Dave Dugdale)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!

vilrockerdefer Nov 7, 2013 3:46 AM (in response to needles27)As far as I am concerned, it is also impossible to zoom in and out of the timeline.
The manual says if you click the "all" button you get a drop down allowing you to select either "master", "playhead", etc. But I don't have a drop down list, only a button.
Whatever I do, ctrl+mousewheel doesn't work.

Manuel LP Nov 7, 2013 4:21 AM (in response to vilrockerdefer)For zoom in timeline, in SG CC simply Alt+mouse wheel (Win), that's all. But with the cursor above the timeline.

vilrockerdefer Nov 7, 2013 4:31 AM (in response to Manuel LP)Thanks ! Used it just one second after receiving the post. Should be stated in the manual ! Offline or online or both ! Just spent two little bit painful days because I couldn't know.
