Chapter 13 Managing Corrections and Grades 277
To select the grade used by a shot:
m Double-click the grade you want to select.
The selected grade turns blue, while the unselected grades remain dark gray.
Note: Grades that have been rendered are colored green.
Grouping and Ungrouping Shots
A group is an organizational construct that’s only available in the Shots browser when
it’s in icon view. The purpose of groups is very simple; they provide targets with which
you can copy a grade to multiple shots at once.
Some examples of ways you might use groups include:
 You can organize all shots in a particular scene in a single group to facilitate applying
and updating stylized corrections to every shot in that scene at the same time.
 You could also organize only those shots within a scene that are from the same angle
of coverage (and so may be able to share the same corrections), so that you can
apply and update the same grade to every shot at once.
 Every shot of a certain type (for example, all head shots of a specific speaker) can be
grouped together to similarly let you apply corrections or grades to all those shots
simultaneously.
The uses of groups are endless. To summarize, any time you find yourself wanting to
apply a single correction or grade to an entire series of shots, that’s a situation in which
you might consider using groups.
Note: Shots can only belong to one group at a time.
To create a group:
1 Open the Shots browser in the Setup room.
2 Set the Shots browser to icon view.
