3 Click Save.
The correction is saved into the current room’s bin with a thumbnail of the shot it was
saved from.
Entering a custom name is optional, but recommended, to help you keep track of all
your corrections. If you don’t enter a name, saved corrections (and grades) are
automatically named using the following method:
CorrectionType.Day Month Year Hour.Minute.Second TimeZone.extension
The date and time used correspond to the exact second the correction is saved. For
example, a saved secondary correction might have the following automatic name:
Secondary.01 May 2007 10.31.47EST.scc
Corrections from each room are saved into corresponding directories in the /Users/
username/Library/Application Support/Color directory. For more information, see “How
Are Grades and Corrections Saved?” on page 68.
Saving Grades into the Grades Bin
Saved grades store the corrections that are applied to the Primary In, Secondaries,
Color FX, and Primary Out rooms all at once, so there’s one more step.
To save a grade:
1 Click the Grades tab in the Setup room.
2 Move the playhead to the shot with a grade you want to save.
