Nodes: local and remote at the same time?

PostTue May 29, 2018 12:47 pm

Hi!

This may be a dump question, but:
Is it possible to grade all snippets from the timeline
(coming from the same clip, cut in pieces and spread over the timeline)
at the same time and also apply individual grades to it?

I thought I can use remote grade to apply my primary grade to all snippets
without fiddleing around with each of them. But I could not figure out how to keep
those remote grades and add further local nodes for individual snippets.

Thank you.

Have a look in the manual, copy remote to local.

Hello Peter,

Thank you very much for your answer.
I know your mentioned feature, but does this not overwrite existing local nodes, when copying to it?
I was looking for a way to grade on a "master" level which affects all snippets
while working on individual snippts for further grading at the same time.
So I could adjust the "master" over all snippets while keeping the local stuff.


Example:
My source
I have a clip with a duration of 1 minute.
During the shot, the sun appears and hides behind clouds and vice versa.

Edit
This clip is now cut and spread over the timeline.
I use remote to grade all snippets at the same time to get a primary look that looks fine.
Now I have to adjust individual snippets because of the changing light. So I use local nodes.

With the way now, I have to copy the remote (master) nodes to local and switch back
from remote to local.

But what if I don't like my master settings? How can I change (only) them after they have been
copied to local and mixed up with my individual nodes? There is no way at the moment, right?

Use a group with local grades (or group with remote grades with each snippet versioned). Group pre clip for your shared grade, then local clip grade for the individual adjustments.

The new shared node feature in v15 would work as well

Hello Daniel,

I am working with DR14, so no shared nodes.
But thank you for your hint regarding groups. This is such a powerfull feature!
I now even can re-assign single snipptes to different groups on the fly.

Thank you!
