smart copy/paste (Idea)

I posted a couple of days ago an Idea of drag and drop a node on the main video window and have the node "rippled" to all the selected clips, but I can go a bit further.

We lost teh ability to create [groups] like in the V10 and trim a node of the group, then delete the group and be merry, and there is a way to make it came back.

Let's say that you have three shot randomly selected in the timeline (like all the CU of the actress)
Let's say that all the shots have 4 nodes (because I'm diligent) 1 is basic correction, 2 is skin trim, three is another node, specific for that shot, 4 is the global "split the difference" node that the DP will ask later in trimming

Let's say that in a memory I have the node that I like to use for trimming and I need to replace it for all the shots.

At the moment I have to go to shot by shot with the node tree open adn drop the node I need in the node 4, go to the next and so on.

The Idea is to have more than a shot selected and do a [cntrl]+drop on node 4 and automatically all the node 4 will be replaced by my correction.

If node 4 does not exist, append how much dummy nodes you need and insert to node 4.

That will make up for:

the old node grouping.
the ability to easy ripple in non contiguous shots.

Thoughts?

+1 I like it Walter. Plus still waiting for node tree graph to properly fit and scale all nodes when it is open.

I agree 100%
The loss of the old grouping method is actually something that keeps me in Resolve 10. I find it crippling to function without it on long form projects. The ability to update an entire scene or just three related shots in seconds is what clients want to see. They don't want to see you copy and pasting a node adjustment over 50 shots one after another.
No brainer.

Hmmm, that could work, but why not just add the node in Post-Grade? Unless Post-Grade is already tied up doing something else.

Because post grade is reserved for a full scene, I'm talking askllhe cu of actor 1 in that scene for example. .. And you can create temporarily selections that don't have to be groups and will be deleted thereafter. .
