Optionally, if you want to save the still with a custom name, you can click the Still Store
tab and type a name in the File field below the Still Store bin.

If you don’t enter a custom name, each still image you save will be automatically named
in the following manner:

Still.Day_Month_Year_Hour_Minute_SecondTimezone.sri

The date and time reflect exactly when the still image was saved.

Note: If you load a still image into the Still Store immediately prior to saving another one,
the newly saved still image will use the name of the still you loaded, overwriting the
previously saved still as a result.

To save the still, do one of the following:

• From any room, choose Still Store > Store (or press Control-I).

• Click the Still Store tab, then click Save.

A still image of the frame at the position of the playhead is saved as an uncompressed
DPX file in the /StillStore/ subdirectory within the project bundle itself. It also appears
within Color as an item in the Still Store bin. When the Still Store is set to icon view, each
saved still appears with a thumbnail for reference.

Still Store images are saved at the native resolution of the source media from which
they’re derived, but they’re not saved with the currently applied LUT correction. That
way, if your project were using a LUT when you saved the images in the Still Store, and
you clear that LUT from your project, the saved still images will continue to match the
shots they originated from.

Important:

Still Store images aren’t updated if the shot they originated from is regraded.

This means that if you save a Still Store image from a shot, and then later regrade that
shot to have a different look, the saved Still Store image will no longer be representative
of that shot and should be removed. If there is any question whether or not a still image
correctly reflects a shot’s current grade, the date and time the still image was saved might
provide a hint.
