  Color Grading more than 2 Video Layers?

  Posted by Jamie Milks on October 23, 2013 at 8:07 pm

  I’m aware that if you export an EDL to Speed Grade all the effects, time changes/ Time remapping and transitions have to be removed and it will only take one video track.

  How do you guys go about color grading a video production that has more than one video track – I’m sure there are people that have gone past 3/5 video tracks.

  What is the proper/ efficient workflow for performing such a task as color grading on multiple video layers?

  Can someone assist me with some sound advice.

  Thanks

  Hi…

  no real expertise here, but…

  currently:

  you have sport of answered your own question in that EDL’s (not XML) are one one track by nature.
  So I’d guess you’d have to do one for each track and grade independently.

  or

  you export result media and grade the already combined images.

  neither is ideal.

  Have you seen the latest up dates for PPro and Speedgrade with Direct Link?
