Append Grade
When right-clicking on a still in the Stills or Powergrade tabs, you can also choose “Append Node
Graph.” This adds the entire node graph of the saved still to the end of the node tree of the current clip.
In other words, the current clip’s grade isn’t overwritten, the applied grade is added to it.
If you plan ahead, saving fragmentary grades that create specific effects or adjustments within a few
nodes, this is a great way of creating a grading toolkit that you can use to mix and match different
specific adjustments or effects that you’d like to add to other grades that you’re creating.
For example, you could create a two-node glow effect, save it, and then apply that effect at the end of
a completely different clip’s grade.
