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 corrections bin 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 Corrections Bins
The Primary In, Secondaries, Color FX, and Primary Out rooms all have corrections 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.
