Is there a way to share or export a Gallery album between projects in the same or different database?

Alternatively, a way to export all images as individual dpx images?

Thank you.

Stills added into PowerGrade albums will be available to all projects in the same Library.

Export/Import of individual Stills is the only way I know to share to other Libraries.

Thank you, Jim, for the reminder on PowerGrades...

My work around was to copy/paste the Project with the required Gallery Album(s) in the Projects Manager to the target Projects Library / Projects Bin, then open both projects and copy/paste the timeline with the grades into the project requiring the gallery album.

Wish there was a simpler method.

Seems like you can expand the gallery to its larger floating size and then drag stills from other projects (including projects in other databases) into you current project. I've never explored this much and don't know all the details but I've used this to copy power grades from one library (database) into another.

Say what, now?

How do you access anything from another Library when a project is open?

Open the gallery in expanded mode (floating window). At least it works with local libraries (which is all I have to test with).

OK. It's a good functionality to know.

However, I still have to open the other projects in the same Library to access the Stills, so I'm not seeing this as any kind of efficiency over PowerGrades. And given that any Still dragged into the current project this way won't be available to any other project, it could be argued it's less efficient than PowerGrades.

Also, as soon as I switch Libraries, that floating window closes for me. (Not unexpected.)

Are you seeing something different?

I can drag stills or power grades from one library into those of the current library (as in, I can drag a still from any other project or power grades into a project or power grade of the current library). This is very handy. Not a substitute for power grades - complimentary, I would say.

I use this approach when I have a new library and want to copy power grades from an old library into my new library but it seems that it's more flexible than that. As I say, I've never explored it.

Oh, I'm seeing it now. Cool!
