HD Color Correction Course with Adobe Speedgrade CS6

At the last Nab Adobe presented the new version of its popular professional editing and post-production suite: Adobe Creative Suite CS6. One of the main new features of the suite has been the incorporation of color correction software formerly known as Iridas Speedgrade. When Adobe acquired the company Iridas, it closed the audiovisual chain in its suite: Editing (Premiere) – Compositing and graphics (After Effects) and Color Correction (Speedgrade) allowing owners of the economical and popular suite to perform the complete post-production work. This fact, together with the increasing number of professionals that every day migrate to editing with Premiere, makes Speedgrade to be one of the most used and widespread color correction software in the coming years. In this article you have more information about the new suite.

This intensive course will teach the use of the Adobe Speedgrade color correction tool, emphasizing both workflows with Premiere and After Effects, as well as the use of this tool used in other profiles (Digital Intermediate, work from Avid or FCP, etc.) So that the student will be able to work with the color correction tools and decide the most appropriate workflows and programs for each project.
