How do I save a node tree to use on all projects?

How do I save a node tree, albeit an empty one, as a preset to use on all other projects?

On the color page, right click the viewer window and select - Grab Still.
This puts a Still thumbnail in the Gallery Viewer that contains all the nodes and the grade.
Stills can be used to copy grades to a clip by selecting the clip and middle-mousing the Still in the Gallery.
Then right click the thumbnail and select - Export.
This will export a .dpx file (the thumbnail) and a .drx (the node structure) file.
I save some various node structures in a dedicated folder to re-use.
To re-use, right click in the Gallery Viewer and select import.
Select the .drx file you would like to use.
Select the clip and then middle-mouse the Still to apply the full grade/node structure to the clip.

You can create the node tree then - right click on the source monitor and save it as a still. But to be able to use in all projects - convert Still to powergrade. Then when starting a new grade - open powergrade and load it - all your nodes will be there.
To make this even better before you make the initial node tree layout- throw a text on the timeline saying what it is. Then when you have it in the powergrade you can easily see what it is.

convert Still to powergrade.

Even easier - nice Jim!
If you open up the additional panel in the Gallery Viewer, you get 3 'folders'.
One of those is PowerGrade.
If you just drag a thumbnail from the Gallery Viewer while in Still view into the PowerGrade folder, it will save it there.
Then in PowerGrade view, you can apply the grade to a clip.
No need for export/import!
