264 Chapter 13 Managing Corrections and Grades
Corrections are adjustments that are made within a single room. You have the option to
save individual corrections into the bins available in the Primary In and Out,
Secondaries, and Color FX rooms. Once saved, corrections can be applied to one or
more shots in your project without changing the settings of any other rooms. For
example, if there are five shots in a scene to which you want to apply a previously
saved secondary correction, you can do so without affecting the primary corrections
that have already been made to those shots. Each room has its own correction bins for
saving and applying individual corrections, although the Primary In and Primary Out
rooms share the same saved corrections.
A grade, on the other hand, encompasses multiple corrections across several rooms,
saving every primary, secondary, and Color FX correction together as a single unit.
when you save a group of corrections as a grade, you can apply them all together as a
single preset. Applying a saved grade overwrites any corrections that have already
been made to the shot or shots you’re applying it to. Saved grades are managed using
the Grades bin, located in the Setup room.
Saving and Using Corrections and Grades
You can save any correction and grade, in order to apply one shot’s settings to others
at a later time. Examples of the use of saved corrections and grades include:
 Saving the finished grade of a shot in your program in order to apply it to other
shots that are also from the same angle of coverage
 Saving a correction to a shot from a specific problem reel of tape (for example, a reel
with a uniformly incorrect white balance) that you’ll want to apply to every other
shot from the same reel
 Saving a stylistic “look” correction in the Primary, Secondaries, or Color FX room that
you want to apply to other scenes or programs
Saving Corrections into Correction Bins
The Primary In, Secondaries, Color FX, and Primary Out rooms all have correction bins
where you can save corrections that are specific to those rooms for future use. When
you save corrections in any room, they’re available to every project you open in Color.
To save individual corrections into any room’s bin:
1 Move the playhead to the shot with a correction you want to save.
2 Type a name for the saved correction in the File field underneath the corrections bin
(this step is optional).
