Re: Re-Using Grades across various cuts of a advert...problem?

There are two ways to do it.

The crazy way, which is to save each secondary correction at each keyframe, because the keyframes are only valid in each correction and can't be copied as a grade, and have to be "attached"; but don't confuse this with the way user shapes have to be attached, although it is analogous.

The other way is almost as torturous and involves creating an entirely new project, so that the grades are eligible to be dragged in under the Import Color Corrections dialogue. The kfd comes along with the imported grade container in that case.

What makes this complicated is that the keyframes are stored in a separate file from any of the other correction description files and although they are included in the individual grade container, they can't be copied in the same drag and drop manner. To copy a keyframed correction in any room doesn't require a pre-existing keyframe when the clip is "empty", but will require them after that, and you have to be directly "on it".

It is annoying and cumbersome.
