On working through your primaries.…If you have access to the exercise files, you will navigate to the sub-folder EDLs.…And we are going to be starting with the Dead Man's Lake_SpeedgradeCC-24 EDL.…So I am just going to double-click that to load it up.…And now I have to tell SpeedGrade where to find all of this footage.…So I am…going to highlight my media folder and now I am…going to tell it to dig through my folder plus subtree.…And once it's finished scanning and finding all of my clips,…I'm going to come down here and tell it to load from desktop.…

Q: This course was updated on 12/20/2013. What changed?
A: This update covers the new features added to SpeedGrade 7.1. There are new movies covering the Direct Link workflow, which allows you to open Premiere Pro projects in SpeedGrade. Also covered are improvements to mask and layer linking, grading layers, and grading clips. We also revised several movies to reflect the impact Direct Link has on managing media, tracking, rendering, etc.

Q: Why am I getting the 'File Not Supported' error when reconnecting to the source files in Premiere Pro?
A: If you get the 'File Not Supported' error when reconnecting to the source files in Premiere Pro - this is a problem with the reconnect dialog in
1. Open the Premiere Pro project in Premiere.2. During the reconnect dialog click Locate and navigate to Exercise files > Media and then to the sub-folder of media the dialog is asking for...3. Here is the trick: You MUST actually select/highlight the first file that Premiere is asking for. The easiest thing is to click the 'displayexact name' button and then *actually click on the file* that matches the name.
