I know a lot of you guys do color grading in AE, but I've always found it had to work in for several reasons, but...

I was pretty excited about getting the new CS6 with the SpeedGrade and all that CS6 tight integration with AE, PPro and all, but I've sadly found that there's no support anywhere for Kona3 in the grading world for me at the moment and my head is going to explode because of it. Can someone talk me down from the ledge?

AJA just released the new CS6 plugins, but AE was already seeing my card right out of the download – now PPro can output to a broadcast monitor too, great! But grading in PPro or AE is not appealing to me ( lack of any real software scopes active during playback, don't have any hardware scopes, PPro's 3-way pales compared to Apple Color, etc. ) and there's no support for SpeedGrade. There's no support for DaVinci. Apple Color's output breaks in Lion and won't be supported by Apple. I have a Quadro 4000, but I'm not getting the SDI version ( why would I with a Kona 3 ).

I guess I'm hoping that someone out there, somewhere, could give me an inkling of how anyone is currently grading with a real external monitor from a Kona3.

I think that the upgrades in PPro and AE are all great, but SpeedGrade seems to have been really rushed. I think I'll mix a cocktail now.
