Optimized scopes

This release of SpeedGrade comes to you with improved scope rendering performance. Scopes, the tools that let you analyze your image, are available in the Analysis Tools panel. To display the Analysis Tools panel, use the keyboard shortcut A, or click the arrow on the upper-left Monitor panel. For more details on using scopes, see Image analysis tools. 

Premiere color workflows editable in SpeedGrade

SpeedGrade has been integrated with the new color workflows in the 2015 release of Premiere Pro CC. When you send a project to SpeedGrade using Direct Link, SpeedGrade presents you with the Lumetri Color layer. This custom layer reflects all the color changes that you had made to your project in one layer without any custom controls. The Lumetri Color layer is displayed only if you have applied color changes in Premiere Pro. You can toggle on/off this feature as needed.
