    Hello.

    I just used the scene split function for the first time. I was able to export an EDL and import it into the color room. I see all my split clips now in the timeline… no problem there.

    The problem I have is, even thought all the shots are now split, they are still “linked”. I remember this from a tutorial somewhere – each clip has a red line at the top of it telling me that they are linked. I know there is a way to unlink ALL the clips, but don’t know how to do that…..

    When I say “linked”, I mean when I grade one clip, they all get the same grading – even thought the original long master clip is now split up.

    Any Help? 🙂

    Hi,

    You should use the “Split” function from the scene page to break up the big clip into several small clips and then just work on the master session. Do not add the big clip into the media pool.

    This way you can do split/join if you miss a cut or have one cut where you don’t want a cut.

    —–

    Alternatively, you do a Batch Copy, and continue to work. This will unlink your grades from the one long clips in the master session.

    Regards,
    Rohit

    Thanks,

    I used the split function I see now that is the way to do it. It saves a step too!

    Ok, I thought I had it figured out. By using the split function I did get rid of the red bar at the top of each clip in the timeline. But when I grade one clip, it still affects them all.

    There does seem to be a thin rainbow bar at the bottom of each clip now.

    Basically, I had 5 minutes of footage that I split into unique clips in the timeline (in the color grading window). But when I grade one clip it affects them all.

    Is there an “ungang all clips” box I’m supposed to check or something like that?

    There is an option when you right click on any of the clips in the color tab timeline for batch unlink.
