∏ Tip: To quickly apply a single correction to every shot in the Timeline, grade a
representative shot in the Primary In room, then click Copy to All.
5 Open the Render Queue, then click Add All.
6 Click Start Render.
All of the shots are converted, and the rendered output is written to the currently
specified render directory.
Importing Color Corrections
The Import > Color Corrections command lets you apply the grades and color
corrections from the shots of one project file to those within another project. It’s meant
to be used with Color projects that are based on the same source, so that a newly
imported version of a project you’ve already been working on can be updated with all
the grades that were applied to the previous version.
To import the color corrections from one project to another:
1 Open the Color project into which you want to import the corrections.
2 Choose File > Import > Color Corrections.
3 In the Projects dialog, select the Color project containing the corrections you want to
import, and then click Load.
The shots in the currently open project are updated with the color corrections from the
other project file.
Exporting JPEG Images
Color also provides a way of exporting a JPEG image of the frame at the position of the
playhead.
To export a JPEG image of the frame at the current position of the playhead:
1 Move the playhead to the frame you want to export.
2 Choose Export > JPEG Still.
3 Enter a name in the File field and select a directory using the Save Still As dialog.
Note: This defaults to the Still Store subdirectory inside of the project bundle.
4 Click Save.
The frame is saved as a JPEG image to the location you selected.
