SPEEDGRADE VS MAGIC BULLET LOOKS PRO

The first two images are me attempting to correct them to the proper white balance. I purposely included the blown out window so you can see what it does. Here is a screenshot from me working with cdng in Speedgrade and After Effects. I am still playing with the test results in Speedgrade in hopes that others will see the benefit as raw2cdng becomes more fine-tuned and for those who have Adobe CC. I could use Resolve but, I don't want to jump back and forth and relearn another product. What I have been doing lately which is not fast is pulling the dng sequences into AE and exporting in uncompressed prores and then working with them in Premiere which gives great results, just incredibly slow. Using Adobe products all together just work out so well and easy to use. I have been playing with Speedgrade quite a bit and going through lessons through and very happy with the workflow and really want to step up my video editing with ML because I really want to start offering high quality videos with the wedding photography I do. cr2, it does not give the best results compared to using ACR with a raw image.

But, using tools in Premiere Pro such as fast color corrector or even 3rd party like Magic Bullet looks seems to change WB as if you were to change WB with a.

I am not a huge tech guy so forgive my lack of proper terms. Or at least changing it like it does in ACR. Does anyone know of an option to change WB in Speedgrade so it is similar to ACR? Thank you in advance! I have searched many sources such as Youtube, Google,, many forums to include this one for a different options similar to ACR these past few weeks and have come up empty handed. Also, colors don't seem to change correctly as they do in ACR. For example, if you have something blown out and change the temperature slider to be warmer, the blown out part will become warmer in color instead of staying white such as in ACR. There is a Temperature slider but it seems to add a filter to adjust colors instead of changing the actual WB like ACR. The only thing I have trouble with is correcting or changing the WB in Speedgrade. I know there is an option to use Resolve but, I would rather keep everything simple with Dynamic Link that Adobe offers. And, Speedgrade is specifically designed for color grading/correcting. But, jumping back and forth from After Effects and Premiere Pro is not the most streamlined and using Speedgrade is far easier as a workflow. With Chmee's CDNG tool, you can work with the raw files natively with audio synced in Premiere Pro which is awesome! (Thanks Chmee!) I really enjoy the ACR tool for color grading/correcting, especially how easy it is to change WB.
