NOTE: Team MixingLight has decided to keep this Insight free for public viewing. As far as we know this is one of the few videos on the internet demo’ing the Tangent Element working with SpeedGrade… and, well, we want as many people to see this great control surface in action with Adobe’s color correction software.
UPDATE: SpeedGrade was End of Life’d by Adobe in 2017 (details here). We’re keeping this Insight in the Library for nostalgia and historical purposes.
In Action: The Tangent Element with SpeedGrade CC
This Insight is part of our continuing series on colorist control surfaces. We’re currently exploring the Tangent Element control surface. In a previous Insight I showed you how (and the why) I arranged this modular set of panels. In this video I’ll show you some of my favorite features using this panel with Adobe’s SpeedGrade CC dedicated color correction software.
Tangent Element and SpeedGrade CC: Modular Implementation
My big take-away is that SpeedGrade mapped this panel without any dependencies. In other words, you can buy only one of the Tangent Element panels at a time – in any order you want. No one panel requires another panel for it to work. This allows beginner colorists to work their way into the craft, lessening the financial burden – adding panels as their client base grows.
Tangent Hub required
Using the Tangent Element with SpeedGrade CC does require the installation of the Tangent Hub software, which can be downloaded from the manufacturers support page. One thing I don’t mention in the video… this panel is NOT customizable. The SpeedGrade software developers have designed the panel mapping – and we just have to learn to love it.
Got Questions?
This is not an exhaustive How-To video on using the Tangent Element with SpeedGrade CC. So I’m sure you’ll have some questions! That’s why we’ve got the comments down below the video. Go ahead and ask away!
