Copying Grades Using ColorTrace
ColorTrace copies whichever version of a clip’s grade was applied in the Source timeline you’re copying from, either local or remote, depending on which grades each clip in the Source timeline is set to
use. Furthermore, ColorTrace copies Group Pre-Clip and Group Post-Clip grades, as well as Fusion compositions. These improvements make this an extremely reliable tool for copying grades from one timeline to another in a wide variety of situations.
1 Open the Edit page and select the Timeline you want to use ColorTrace with from the Media Pool, then open it and choose Timelines > ColorTrace > ColorTrace From Timeline.
Choosing ColorTrace for a selected Timeline
The ColorTrace Setup window appears, which shows every project library, user, project, and timeline within a single hierarchical list.
2 Using the Project List browser, select the specific Timeline you want to copy grades from.
You’ll need to click the disclosure triangle to the left of the project library, user name, and project that contains that Timeline in order to select it.
