How to copy grade from one clip to another?

PostMon Dec 22, 2014 7:59 pm

Hi

I recently started working with Davinci resolve, wich is aweseome. However, sometimes the videofiles from my blackmagic camera get seperatedin two and i have to work with two files. Now, is there any way to copy the grade from clip Nr1 to clip Nr2?

The way I do that is to highlight the clip I want to copy the grade from, Drop Down from 'Color" to 'Memeories", then 'Save Memory__', then just hi lite the destination file and 'Load Memory__'

Hi,
the answer Steve Treutlein gave is correct and can be applied when you want to match different clips (1 - 3 - 7 - 12...).
But you can press "=" (near Backspace) and clip 2 will be graded exactly like clip 1. Same nodes, same settings.
Good luck!

But Macs don't have center buttons! What a strange thing with Davinci - simplest operations are sometimes rather tricky to perform on a mac. Why is that?
I am learning Davinci now and I've come across a number of simplest operations that are done seamlessly in Final Cut Pro that require weird modifier keys, etc like panning a zoomed image in the preview monitor, or like dragging a clip from one place of the timeline to another and INSERTING it, without overwriting adjacent clips.

I always use a 3 button mouse on the Mac. Need it to slide an image around in a viewer after you zoom in as well.
