Copy grades

Hi Gareth – I don’t think that function was ever there, but it doesn’t matter. We understand the need for that.
The only thing you can do is to right-click Basemem all the highlighted shots.

Hi Rohit,
Ok, if that function can be added that would be a HUGE time saver when executing color correction on show that has 900 plus cuts and I only have 10 hours to color.
Thanks for your time.
Cheers

I think one of the issues here is that there are certain functions that are not exposed in the software and are only available if you’re using the DaVinci panels. One of these is ripple, which many of us are used to having from the 2K. That would allow you to change the ripple mode to absolute and copy to a group of shots in one step, but that is one of those functions that seems to now be restricted to the DaVinci panels. I would like to see that available again, along with the semicolon and colon functions that allowed you to instantly copy from two shots back or one shot back – which is also only available on the DaVinci panels.
A number of us are mouse aversive…..

So, let me get it straight. There is no Mac equivalent to
“-,+ ripple value”of the Resolve panel?
What is one to do, when at the end of the session client asks to darken or lighten or whatever the whole project and all can be done is to append the ripple node one event at the time?
I must be missing something. This can’t be right, can it? -
Yes, it is correct. Ripple is only available with the DaVinci panels.
You could, at least in theory. highlight the entire timeline, create a group, append a node, and make the change. After you confirm that it worked, you could then delete the group.
In theory.

Hi Jake,
You just add a node in your track node graph, and do whatever you need to do. You can even use track versions to try out different looks and different outputs. Will that work?
On the resolve panel, there is also a function to ripple a node to the end of a scene range.

Hi Rohit.
I think Mike answered it, unless I’m misunderstanding. So I’ll give you another example. At the beginning of the session I sometimes like to get a basic look with may be one node- color balance, saturation, exposure etc, that I can apply to all events, so I’m in a good range. As Mike pointed out, at this point, the only way to do that is to create one large group of all events in the timeline and apply that “basic look” node or nodes to that group. But, again, as Mike correctly pointed out, this is only in theory, as adding 300 events in the timeline is not really practical. I think you’d mentioned, that one can apply the Basemem to multiple events. Can then Basemem be set up, like in the old telecine days to that “basic look” and then it may be applied to the whole timeline? I really find it difficult to believe, that one can’t copy the grade or a node to more than one event. -
Oh, I see. Does that mean, that one can highlight the whole timeline and add all events to the group at once? That will work as a workaround, if that is the case. I’ll give it a try tomorrow. Thanks!

I just tried the approach I was suggesting, and it does work. You select the entire timeline, add the shots into a new group, and create an append node. The node is created on all of the shots in the group and any changes you make apply to all of them as well. The VSRs update to reflect this. This approach is a bit tricky, but it does work, and would answer your issue of giving everything a new starting point.
However…….
Rohit’s suggestion of using the Track node for your original scenario (i.e., modifying all events to be brighter, for instance) is much quicker and easier. And as far as I can tell, not well documented, hence why I didn’t know about it. 😉

Interesting, good to know. Thanks for the info. So, the next question is what is the “track node”? I couldn’t find any mention of it in the manual. Is it something like an adjustment layer?
