    I apologize if this has already been answered, couldn’t find and exact answer.

    I know you can group clips and apply grades to all of them at once with offsets and so on.

    I would like to know if I can group clips to view them only but still have them individually editable.

    Here is my situation. I am grading a 3 min clip with 234 cuts and roughly 6-7 looks or scenes. I would like to see all the clips from one scene only and have them still individually editable. Is there a way this can be done? A way to remove the clutter from other scenes while working on a specific one?

    Thanks

    A workaround is to separate the clips for each look/scene onto different video tracks and then enable/disable them as necessary. A quick way of isolating them could be using flags.

    you can also try using the a/c viewing mode (record/source mode).

    from the manual:

    Sorting by C mode makes it easy to identify a range of similar clips. For example, if you’re working on a documentary, sorting by C mode will arrange all of a particular subject’s head shots from a specific interview contiguously, one after another, since they all come from the same range of time code on the same source tape. This makes it easy to balance them, copy grades among them or group them.

    To toggle between A and C mode sorting:

    View>Timeline Thumbnail Mode Source/Record submenu.

    Another trick if you want to view all clips from one scene simultaneously:

    View>Split Screen>On
    Tick Selected Clips

    Select all the clips from that one scene.

    hope that helps somehow! cheers! 🙂

    Thank you both for offering solutions I hadn’t even thought of!
