Correct method for joining clips?
What is the correct method for joining two clips in the timeline? (I know where the command is. Just not the best way to use it)
I thought it would be to select two clips at the same time then EDIT/JOIN CLIP. But that didn’t work.
I then picked one clip and and hit “join clip” and it worked… and it applied the correct grade to the other clip – which was nice… but I basically just got lucky with that.
What is the correct procedure for joining clips? I couldn’t find it in the manual.
Also is it possible to join a number of clips all at once?
Thanks

If you want to apply the same grade to multiple shots, the correct method is to use groups. It’s covered in the timeline chapter of the manual.

I was actually trying to join 2 clips – the grade applied to the correct clip was just a fortunate byproduct.
I had split up a takes from a 5 min clip. But found after grading I had split a clip in the wrong spot and was trying to join it back up.
I’m not sure if I should always place the playhead at the end of the clip nearest to the one I want to join; always use the second clip; select one clip, then place the playhead over the other clip and click “join clip”, etc. It also seems there is a way to control which grade is applied to which clip.
