Copy grades
Hello Peter and Rohit
V8 great. I was wondering I resolve of old there was the ability to highlight thumb nails on the timeline and copy grades from another thumb nail along the time just by clicking the thumb nail that one wanted the correction from. Now the ability to highlight is there by either using the alt key and clicking the thumb nails one wants to add a correction to or by using the shift key and clicking what happens there is depending on where you click on the time line all the thumb nails between that point are highlighted and by the way in both methods the highlight is purple and this all happens in the color page. Right now it seem that one can do the highlight but that’s all. I would like to know how to do this or have this feature back as I do not want to make groups.
Please get back to me,
Cheers

I’m not using resolve 8 but if you’re positioned on an ungraded clip (the clip you want to apply the grade to) and then “center-click” on a shot from which you want to copy a grade the grade gets copied. This also works with center-clicking on stills in the gallery.

Same for 8.0, just use centre mouse click to copy that grade to the current clip.

Many users don’t use a mouse with center wheel. I use Wacom with a pen. What is one to do?

That’s not what Gareth was asking. What he was asking is how to select a group of clips and apply a correction to all of them at once without actually having to create a group. In version 8, you can select more than one shot by shift clicking on the VSRs, but simply selecting them doesn’t seem to create a group selection in terms of applying a single correction unless you go through the additional step of creating a group. That seems like an unnecessary additional step in many cases where you just want to apply one correction as a starting point.

Hi all, I know you can middle mouse click a thumb nail vsr on the timeline to apply a correction, that’s not my question, what could be done before is you could highlight several vsr thumb nails on the timeline by pressing the apple/cmd key and clicking on any shots you want, those vsr thumb nails will highlight/change to purple, at that point you were able to click on any thumb nail that was not highlighted and apply that correction to all that were highlighted.

Hi Gareth, I just checked my 7.1 system here and its the same as 8.0. The grade is copied to the clip with the cyan highlight. I do however see the point on the group grading idea.

Gareth,
My bad, I misunderstood your question. Now I know what you mean as I’ve come across this issue on every project so far and I’ve always had to revert to applying grades one at a time.roman hankewycz

Applying grade to a number of selected shots doesn’t make it a group grade. It is just that – a grade copy. Group grade is a much more powerful concept, starting with the ability to grade it as a group, an ability to un-gang and re-gang individual shots, as well as an ability to save and recall those groups. Unfortunately, in it’s present state, adding shots to a group is pretty inefficient.

Hi Peter,
This feature existed in resolve before BMD bought the company, I know cause it was one that I had requested and it was added, but since the overhaul by BMD it may have just gotten lost. Please don’t misunderstand my request, I don’t want to group shots, I want to highlight shots and then click on any thumb nail and have that grade applied to those shots. The ability to highlight is already there but there is no other function once highlighted.
Cheers
Gareth
