Ctrl z not working for grading actions,

Thanks to the color tab unwantedly choosing the adjustment layer instead of the selected clip when in edit mode, my grade is screwed. Ctrl Z is not working. Thanks for fixing!

I think Adjustment Layers are a last resort for a session. My advice would be to not use them unless you had some specific overall thing you needed to apply in addition to what was already done in the Color page.

Note you can always do the equivalent of an adjustment-layer correction as a Timeline Grade, and you can also keyframe it if necessary. I do this all the time to add a letterbox or positional change for an entire feature, while leaving bars, slates, countdown and so on unaffected.

If you want to troubleshoot this, you could check under Edit History and see if the Adjustment Layer changes are listed there. If they're not, then you can't Undo them. If they ARE listed, then they should be just as Undoable as any Edit change.

There is a possible problem in that if you have a clip selected in the Color page, go to the Edit page and then back to the Color page, it changes the selected clip to the Adjustment layer.

This is such a frustrating feature. I had an adjustment layer with a print film look above my whole project. I added a new clip beneath, went to color it, and the color tab automatically selected the adjustment layer. Even though I was seeing the new clip in the monitor for my color tab. Then my whole project's grade changed, I panicked and quit resolve, and was unable to Undo. I wish I could select a clip in my timeline and have it stay selected when I move into Color.

A lot of folks are confused by this at first. Here's how things work.

1. When you switch pages, the playhead does not move. (This is good.)

2. Going into Fusion or Color, the top most clip at the playhead position is selected by default. If you want a different clip, you will need to manually select it.

... and the playhead will jump away. It's annoying.

I think the only users that don't complain about this problem are those that put all layers they have into one compound clip so to get just a single video track on the timeline :-)

move all adjustment clips to one layer. then inside color tab Alt+Click on that track to disable the selection. It still shows on top of the footage, but doesn't show up on the thumbnail view and wont get selected anymore

... and the playhead will jump away.

It depends.

If you simply choose another clip, yes.

But if you Disable the tracks above, you can get to the clip you want while leaving the playhead in position.

I want to see all layers. Therefore I don't want to disable them. Even if I wanted to disable them, these additionally required actions break the workflow.

OK.

In that case you can use a timeline marker to get back to the same spot, but with the desired clip selected and all clips visible.

If I were to use markers for this purpose, I would get a thousand markers on my timeline. I would have to delete them and set them and delete, set, delete ...

Not ergonomic. Look at all these additional actions:

1. My clip on Edit page is selected; I set marker at playhead on Edit page.
2. Go to Color page; my clip is not seleted anymore.
3. Reselect my clip on Color page; playhead jumps to start of my clip.
4. Move my playhead to marker (slide, nudge, nudge, click, click ...)
5. Start color grading.

My wish would be:

1. My clip on Edit page is selected; I go to Color page.
2. Start color grading.

... and the playhead will jump away.

It depends.

But if you Disable the tracks above, you can get to the clip you want while leaving the playhead in position.

and if you do that [disable] you lose the adjustment layer effect altogether.....

1. My clip on Edit page is selected; I go to Color page.

I get that's your desire, but that would break things in a bad way.

For example, if the selected clip was not under the playhead, then the playhead would move when you switched to Color.

That's bad.

The ideal would be a right click Open in Color to match the currently available Open in Fusion. But until then...we have to deal with how things are.

To make it work without moving the playhead:
1) If a clip is selected under the playhead, open that clip in Color and at the exact location of the playhead (not jumping to the beginning of the clip).
2) If no clip is selected, then open the top clip under the playhead at the exact location of the playhead.
3) If a clip is selected but it is not under the playhead, then open the top clip under the playhead.

The logic essentially boils down to just one if-else statement...
IF (clip is selected AND clip is under playhead) open selected clip
ELSE open top clip under playhead

This way the playhead never moves and you can still choose which clip to open. The same would also apply for the Fusion page.

I can only repeat myself here.

If you are working with adjustment clips Alt-Click on the video track in the timeline view inside the color tab. That way you are still seeing the adjustment clips effect, but resolve does not automatically select the clip all the time.

If you want to change something in the adjustment clip, just alt click again to make it selectable.

If you working with adjustment clips and you do >any< type of groups, clips, flash, and so on, you will not see the adjustment layer whatsoever. Zip nil, nafa, not going to happen.

Adjustment layers are not really versatile

... if the selected clip was not under the playhead, then the playhead would move when you switched to Color.

That's bad.

As Tekkerue wrote, the solution would be this: The Color page should only keep the clip selection if the clip is under the playhead:

IF (clip is selected AND clip is under playhead) open selected clip
ELSE open top clip under playhead

That would be fine as well. I would set the C-key on that like I did with the F-key for "Open in Fusion".

Nice. That seems to work here on my Mac (where it's OPTION-Click). The adjustment clip remains active, my desired clip below remains selected, and the playhead won't jump anymore.

The disadvantage: I never show that mini timeline on the Color page as it makes the Viewer smaller. So I always had to click the timeline on/off and that's just another obstacle in the workflow.
