Within DaVinci Resolve, every scene has a grade that is stored in an active Memory. Colorists consistently

refer to this current Memory and compare it to the stills to match grades. You can always clear this

Memory to get to a default Memory by using the Base Mem control. Comparison of the current Memory

the bottom of the Still section. These stills are in most respects the same as the others in the Stills or

PowerGrade tab with the exception that you can save and recall the stills from the control panel with

great speed.

also the Transport panel. In each case, the Memory is seen in the Memory display with a small letter that

identiﬁes to which Memory it was saved. To recall a grade from the Memory, simply select that Memory

with a one button selection.

A key feature for the stills is the capture and display of the Node Graph which will show you how the

grades were constructed. This also applies to the Memories. Right mouse click on an image within the

clip. The Still Nodes may be dragged on top of an existing node to replace that node’s enhancement or

a node can be dragged and inserted independently into the Node Graph line.
