Am I old fashioned? Tangent Wave
by Baz Leffler on Nov 4, 2009 at 12:05:21 am

I have been colourgrading since the days it was invented and one of the biggest features I use is 'grade bypass'. This is very helpful when doing very subtle changes and switching between grade/ungrade to verify the settings.
Using Color's 'ctl G' is a pain (but it works!) so I tried to program it into the Tandem Wave panel and it doesn't have a setting for it... or... maybe I am missing something?!? It would be so helpful having a single click grade bypass function.
Currently I have programmed a function key for 'next grade' and another for 'previous grade' but I gotta remember to put the grade back to where it should be before rendering! At my age thats a challenge!

We have this button on the Tangent 200-series TS panel and it now works correctly in 1.5.

What would we do without the UNDO button? What we used to do in daVinci....

Use the "toggle grade" option in the drop down menu of your Wave mapper.

You have to set your desired button to "Toggle".

That's just the word they chose. Works great!

Thanks Loren - I tried that "toggle grade" selection and it didn't work but then I tried it today and WHOOOOPS!!! I forgot that damned 'copy to all rooms' selection; so it would have originally worked had I been in the 'setup room' when I tried it....

I have the 'UNDO' button programmed into a foot switch that sits under the desk - but alas, quite useless in Color.
It seems rather strange that Color has 1 undo only and FCP has way too many undo's. Has any one else noticed that?

[Baz Leffler] "It seems rather strange that Color has 1 undo only and FCP has way too many undo's. Has any one else noticed that? "

It's quite complicated to put an Undo in Color as we have already noted in the forum numerous times. Final Touch did not even have one. The fact that Color even has one is an accomplishment.

I think it's Joseph who keeps saying just do what they've always done in daVinci....
