I have a project I am sending to Speedgrade from Premiere. Was hoping the latest updates made some difference, but no joy. The same problems happens if I try and run the project in Speedgrade directly from the Premiere Pro project file and not having it passed to it from Premiere.
I am editing an 82 minute long timeline for a feature film. It as show with a Cannon 5d Mark II. However, any action of color correction in Speedgrade are too slow to be usable.
Clicking on any slider or color ring, I get a beachball at the first mouse movement and perhaps 8-10 seconds later, I get a very gross our course adjustment, not a fine tuning movement no matte how slow I try and move the mouse. The sliders jump to 2/3 the way up or down. While I can move the playhead fine and it works smoothly, NO adjustment to any clip is anywhere near realtime. I get the beachball with every adjustment or preview and have no ability to control detailed adjustments as a result.
Speedgrade is the only major application running and its showing a large footprint of needing 3.62 GB and CPU times of 40% to 150%. Nothing else comes close. My Mac is fully capable of handing this application, and it does not seem to happen on smaller projects. The project in question is running off of a high speed Thunderbolt drive.

I really need a solution to this. It's juts not practical to use at this point and this is a feature film heading to film festival next month.
