On the right of the thumbnail you will occasionally see the Tracker indication. This identifies that this clip
has Object Tracking. If you have modified the clip length it is a useful reminder to check that the track
now covers the complete clip.
Local and Remote Versions
There are a number of time saving right-click options within the clip thumbnail.
When the project images in the Media Pool are first conformed, you generate a default session or
default timeline, called the Master Session, using the ‘Create Default’ button on the Conform screen. If
there is an EDL, that is loaded afterwards, the EDLs will be listed by their names after the Master Session
in the EDL file label section on the Conform screen. When you work with the Master Session within
the Color screen, any color corrections that are made to any clip will be automatically applied to the
other conformed sessions (other EDLs), regardless of the order of the clips in those EDLs. This will save
you quite a lot of time as you can grade many different versions of the EDL automatically, and when
changing EDLs using the same clips, all of your grading metadata is automatically applied to the new
session/EDL.
When you are working on the Master Session but want to create an alternate version of a color
correction, the new version is called a new Local Version (i.e., you want to keep the original version but
also have another). As this is the Master Session, these versions are also available for use within the other
conformed sessions (other EDLs), but are listed as Remote Versions in those EDLs. This allows you to
keep a Master Session grade which is valid for most sessions but also have one that is just for a specific
session (e.g., for the Trailer).
If you are on a session other than the Master Session, you can make Local Versions that will be available
only for that session, or Remote Versions that will be available for all the other sessions (except for the
Master Session where it will listed it as another Local Version).
Every Remote Version of a grade made on every session relates to the Master Session, so if you render
each Master Session grade you will have the graded versions for all the various sessions.
