Hi y'all,
I'm running v14, and am having trouble with a few things here. I've watched several youtube videos to no avail, hopefully you guys can help me.

I am trying to export a still in .png or some other common image format.
I run into a snag though as, when I click grab still, the gallery does not show the still, and I cannot even open the gallery sidebar. The still is still added to the project folder as a .xml (or whatever the strange file type is) but that is obviously not useful.
I have tried everything and don't know what I could possibly be doing wrong.

I am also tying to figure out how to copy/paste nodes to speed up color correction for similar pictures, and haven't found a way to do this, is this possible, and if so how?

Thank you so much for your help!

This may help us help you.....

Also the user manual is your friend!

I looked in the user manual extensively and couldn't find anything.
In all the videos as well as the user manual, when you right click the picture and select grab still, the gallery tab auto opens with that saved still as a thumbnail.

That doesn't happen for me.

resolve v14.3.0.014

Also, heres the other information that you think will help.

The gallery does not 'auto open' on any version I have used. Open the gallery and see if you can grab a still using the mouse right-click menu. You may need to check your cache & stills path setup in Resolve to ensure a valid location is selected. If this works, check your keyboard mapping to ensure there is no conflict if using the keyboard shortcut.

I cannot open the gallery at all, that is the main issue.
I see the tab but I click on it and nothing happens.

I know that it saved the still just fine because I can go find it in the project folder and it is saved in the default format. I have even tried dragging that back into resolve into the gallery but it doesn't do anything.

My guess is that you have a problem with the Gallery path, or perhaps a permissions problem on the Gallery stills drive. It should "just work" without any problem.

"Stills/gallery and copying nodes" including generating LUTs, no problems. I'm talking about BDR15.

How are you dragging to the gallery if you can't open the gallery?

sorry, I tried dragging the stills into the media pool (not the gallery).

If its supposed to just work, any ideas on how to fix it or locate the problem so that I can open the gallery?

and thats the main problem I have, but I also would like to know if there is a way to copy paste nodes for color correction to make editing all these pictures faster.
I have no idea what BDR15 is

Gallery: page 2048 in the user manual for Resolve15. You can find it on the Blackmagic support pages. I have not used version 14 for a long time but it's very similar in operation.

Copy/paste node by creating a new node where you want to paste to, then select source node, copy, go to newly created node, paste. It's simple. It's all in the manual, which is a searchable pdf.

If you still can't work it out, I suggest doing some Resolve training courses.

I just reviewed the v14 pdf again, for the third time, and it did not help, I know how to do everything I need to but no matter what I do or click on, the gallery won't open. i'll try downloading resolve 15 and see if that works

After installing v15.2.2.007, it just works like its supposed to now. No solution found so if google brought you here, just update the software or you're **** outta luck.

on a plus side, the new shared node feature is quite nice

Hello there,
hopefully the problem has been solved, but in case someone still has this trouble, it can be caused by the activation of the Enhanced Viewer (Alt-F or Option-F) command in the Color Page which provides more working area expanding the Viewer and hiding the Gallery panel. Deactivating it will show the Gallery and, in case, other panels.

It seems to me that after activating the Enhanced Viewer command, clicking two times on the Gallery or LUTs or Media Pool panel-icons triggers a bug making it impossible to show again the mentioned panels clicking on their icons. Only then deactivating Enhanced Viewer solves the issue/bug.

I hope this info can help!
Have a good day!
