SpeedGrade 101 - SpeedGrade

  Class Description
SpeedGrade is a color grading and finishing tool that lets video editors control color and light for any type of content added to a video production. It provides layer-based color correction and look design tools to ensure that digital video projects are visually consistent and aesthetically compelling.
