When Live Preview is enabled in the Gallery option menu, the Hover Scrub Preview submenu lets you choose how you want Live Preview to be shown by a thumbnail in the Gallery and in the Viewer when you hover the pointer over a still or LUT in the LUT Browser:
— You can choose to scrub both the thumbnail you’re hovering over and the Viewer, letting you preview the current still’s grade or a LUT over the duration of the current clip in both the thumbnail and Viewer.
— You can choose to scrub just the thumbnail, leaving the Viewer to show just the grade or LUT over the frame at the position of the playhead.
— You can disable scrubbing altogether, in which case both the thumbnail and the Viewer will only show the grade or LUT over the frame at the position of the playhead.
Copying Grades from Stills in the Gallery
Stills also store the grade from the clip they came from, and can be used to copy grades from one clip to another, or to store grades that you might want to use later.
— Select one or more clips in the Timeline, then right-click a still in the Gallery and choose Apply Grade.
— Select one or more clips in the Timeline, then middle-click a still in the Gallery.
When you copy a still in this way, the saved grade completely overwrites the grade in the target clip, unless you’ve used the “Preserve number of nodes” option, found in the contextual menu of the Gallery. For more detailed information on using the Gallery, including options for organizing the Gallery browser, instructions for using Albums, Power Grades, and Memories, as well as other methods of copying grades and performing advanced grade management tasks, see Chapter 138, “Using the Gallery.” and see Chapter 139, “Grade Management.”
Different Viewer Reference Modes for Wipes
While it’s common to use the Gallery to wipe against reference stills, by changing the reference mode you can also create a wipe against a clip in the Timeline, or against an Offline Reference Clip or Timeline, if one has been assigned to the current Timeline.
— Choose an option from the Reference Wipe Mode submenu in the Viewer’s option menu.
— Choose an option from the Reference Mode icons at the top of the Viewer.
— Gallery: The default reference mode. Lets you wipe the current clip against a Gallery still.
— Timeline: Lets you wipe the current clip against another clip in the Timeline using the Wipe Timeline Clip command (see below).
— Offline: Lets you wipe the current clip against an offline video that’s been assigned to the current Timeline. For more information on assigning Offline References to a timeline for comparison,
see Chapter 55, “Preparing Timelines for Import and Comparison.”
