  • unlinking clips from same source clip?

    Posted by Blase Theodore on November 15, 2010 at 4:12 pm

    Resolve cleverly applies the grade from a clip to any clip that shares its media source. But I don’t want this sometimes, and I don’t know how to disable it.

    Anyone figured this out?

    I believe the “batch unlink” function is what you want to use here, at least for a quick way to delink all of them. Right click the clip in the color room timeline and select batch unlink. Haven’t figured out how to relink specific clips yet though so that their corrections would apply to all. Anyone know how to do this?

    From page 159 in manual.

    When you begin to color correct using the Master Session, all corrections are automatically applied to the other conformed versions. This means that the Master Session is Batch Linked to all the other conformed versions. If you wish to create a different version of the color correction in another timeline, simply select the desired version, right mouse click on a thumbnail, and select ‘Batch Unlink.’ This conformed version will not share the same color corrections as the Master Session or any of the other
    conformed versions. If you select ‘Batch Link,’ the corrections within this conformed version will revert to the corrections seen in the other conformed versions. Batches may also be copied using this right-click option.

    Another way that I sometimes use is just create a unique grade version for that clip. That way its correction will be different from the others.

    but… the question still remains, is there a way to select a number of similar shots and “link” them so that they all share the same grade, and if one is affected all the rest are…
