Color 1.5 Grade settings copy

[Cole Seidl]

Hi,
I'm currently using Color 1.5, and while I'd say I've got a decent handle on it, I'm far from proficient. One issue that has come up is I have multiple FCP sequences which I need to match as far as color grade goes.

In one sequence I can easily just drag my grade from one clip to the next... nice. But now when I import another sequence I do not know exactly how to bring the exact same grade from a previous sequence onto a clip in a new one.

Anyone know how this is done?

Thanks,
Cole

You can save a grade in the grades tab in the setup room and then apply that grade to any shot in any color project. The grade is saved with a thumbnail of whatever frame you're parked on, so you have an option to choose a frame that will make it easily recognized (very handy for interviews, for example). You can also choose a name for the grade, or let Color give it a default name.
