Lifesaver. Thank you!

[@LluisZardoyaClips]

Hey dude ur videos are awesome! Quick question. why could it be that when clicking paste, color grade isn't pasting? (I'm on the manual tab. thanks)

[@Flipsgardenofweeden]

[@DeformedLunchbox]

Thank you, this was very helpful :)

[@bertrambatoo5181]

Thank you so much Casey!!! You saved me from a nightmare!

[@PeterVieth]

Thank you!!! This can be paired with exporting/importing a timeline as FCP XML to change frame rates for a project.

[@theearlybirder-videos]

so I first watched your color management in 2022, but it didn't have the Z9 camera, so I used some of your settings and other adjustments and applied to all with some tweaking. In the same project I have 4 different timelines and when I choose a timeline to get the local color grade, it doesn't list that timeline, only 2 of the others without the color management. It doesn't matter which one I'm in, I don't get the choice. to get a clip. So I can't proceed further.

[@williamwesth-jensen9602]

what the heck, thank you so muchhhhhhhhhhhhh...

[@felixxyzz]

Is this still the best and fastest way in Davinci Resolve?

[@STONJAUS_FILMS]

This method does the job, but it seems to be a linked node. I'm afraid that If I further edit the node on the new project it will also affect the reference project. but not every time I want to change the grade on both sides. is there a trick to prevent the node from updating on both sides? thank you very much.

[@IAmZIyah]

Is this still valid in v18 or is it only available in the Studio version?

[@8immortalschinesemedicine327]

Ha you just saved my ass! Thank you

[@wolfegirardin4982]

Struggling to do this with compound clips

[@FrancescoPaggiaro]

Definitely helpful, I used it for copy some grade from the main video to the backstage, without open again the project and export the lut :) thanks

[@FlyingCoconut4Ever]

Not working... The project timelines from the disk database don't appear.

[@1710000huh]

how to copy audio effects like this?

[@superluminique]

@Casey_Faris you've just simplified my life by a million fold. I do a weekly video where the intro goes on top of a background image. I add a frame to the video to make it nicer and need to redo the whole second every time. No more!

[@benchan32]

Mate... u just saved me more time than you know. I freakin love you.

[@bwordenpost]

Did they change this? I right clicked and there isn't a timelines tab.

[@M4rs0]

Believe it or not, I accidentaly copied the blank timeline over the graded one. Is there any way to revert this? I didn't have backup on prior to this moment.

[@markwlv]

Bacon saver!

[@4thwalltvandfilm]

Love it. I have a question. I have a project with two cameras (Sony FS7 slog 2 proper exposure & FS5 underexposed slog2) A & B. B Cam is underexposed log footage and I am planning to use Multicam sync to edit the different cameras. How would you do this on color correcting Log footage for Multicam to get a match before the edit, or is there a better way to sync clips for narrative Multicam work and match them?

[@EvanMapleMaggot]

Hit me when tutorial starts.. oh, at 1:35. Thanks a lot!

[@AquinoxMedia]

Can you make this work for if the grade is in an adjustment layer above it?

[@johnf.hebert1409]

i dont get this on resolve 16

[@peperclipsfilms]

Tutorial starts at 1:34

[@alifmeherab8866]

Not working in DR18

[@aldermediaproductions695]

It's important to note that the timeline you're wanting to copy the grade from needs to be the active timeline.

[@MindGameStudios]

I just accidentally erased over about a week's worth of grading because I neglected this. :[

[@judechidebeesq]

This video just saved me a lot of heartache. Many thanks.

[@ziyugao7569]

omg i love you man!!!!!

[@sombrero46]

1:35 he will start explaining what you want to know. Thanks for the tips here, i am just wondering why you would wait a minute and a half to tell us the solution?

[@CaseyFaris]

Because I know good chaps like you can put timecodes in the comments :)

[@tschacknorris8550]

[@TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss]

Thx!

[@TheForgeFunctionalFitness]

@@CaseyFaris Your content is great, and thanks so much, but he's absolutely right, please get straight to the point. I'd posit that nobody who is editing video has the luxury of time.

[@cekirdekci32]

thank you.. i was wondering when was he gonna startto. :) and thank you for the awesome video too

[@heiko4297]

Man, so manny thumbs up :D

[@MarlonCabreraOliveira]

Very useful for KZbinrs that shot on the same location! Thanks!

[@PavlentijIvani4]

Thank you VERY much Casey! You have helped me a LOT! :)

[@Mngzkhuel]

why is it so laborious though?

[@TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss]

This is pure gold! Thank you a milli for sharing this...

[@DennisSchmitz]

Going to use this function for a trailer, does this work for multiple sequences inside the same project?

[@DSwissK]

Thanks for the video. But... Any idea why "Colortrace" is greyed out in resolve ?

[@Lensbreak]

right click on the timeline item in the media pool, then it wont be greyed out :)

[@intrinsiccinema7374]

is there a tut on how to duplicate a hollywood movie still color palette in davinkcia

[@brightrockmedia]

Not working for me. Any idea why? I am trying to just copy from one timeline to another in the same project.

[@brightrockmedia]

Ok, so it looks like it's copied one node but not both. Maybe I'm figuring this out.

[@brightrockmedia]

Nope, the power window and curves node is not copying. Ideas?

[@kjvisual7]

This is exactly what I need. So efficient! Now I can maintain a library of "grades". Each grade can be complex and I won't have to start from scratch each time. I wish I could label nodes just like in Fusion.

[@nikolaykolev5143]

I’m just curious, what happens in a scenario where let’s say 15 videos (projects) are taking the grades from the same one timeline. If I then change that grade on the initial timeline, will all the other ones update as well? Or..this feature just “copies” the grades by duplicating them, not by referencing them.

[@Lensbreak]

How to copy the grade made on the TIMELINE and not the grade from single clips ??

[@Lensbreak]

Just found it out: Select a random clip in the colortrace window as described in the video and paste it to any of your videos in the new timeline. the timeline grading will automatically also be copied :)

[@dfgoijoi]

you are the boss. this feature should be way more visible on the menu though :)

[@TrapPhoneLoveMelodiesss]

dfgoijoi facts

[@WillePilleOorspronklik]

Thank you so much for this extremely specific solution to my extremely specific problem.

[@cosandreas9414]

Cant you just do the same thing with Grab Still? You can bring them in from other projects too...

[@CaseyFaris]

+Cos Andreas yeah you can, but its annoying to make a ton of stills, also i think the tracking doesnt come over in stills... although they may have changed that.

[@cosandreas9414]

Casey Faris No I don’t believe stills will copy across tracking info

[@cosandreas9414]

If you right click in your gallery window you can see an option for apply grade using keyframe timecode or start time. I've tried it and it does copy keyframes from still. FYI. I still may be getting confused here so excuse my ignorance! Edit: Sorry me being a dumb dumb again. Forgot you said TRACKING data... still doesn't copy tracking..

[@Hazeyiv]

I want to thank you from the bottom of my now beating heart. Thank you. You have saved me from a nightmare!

[@tylkopytam]

WHY is it sooo complicated

[@MrSceneNine]

I'm in a position where I'm going to have to do this tomorrow when I get in to work because of edit changes, so thanks for the clear walkthrough.

[@owlmuso]

Thanks Casey, your videos are useful and I always have something to learn from them

[@EvilSpeculator]

Man, you have no idea how much time you just saved me! Thanks a ton!

[@nataliagrigoryeva6615]

Very helpful! Thank you! It worked for me.

[@Wesleydssantos]

Thank you so much, Farris! I've been looking for a way to do this recently, and as I had not yet seen your video I ended up having to apply the color setting in one clip at a time. Using this new method I will save a lot of time!

[@EricTViking]

Great video thanks for sharing. PS. scrub to 1:35 to skip the waffle...

[@theschmidtdotcom]

GREAT! Exactly what I was looking for yesterday and couldn't figure out. Thanks!

[@ehsan288]

That was a life saver. Thank you ?

[@michaelmulcahy862]

ditto the lifesaver comment - excellent tutorial and thank you!

[@CriticasDeCineEn2Minutos]

Shorts dude! Make it yshorts!

[@crazyAlexander23]

it won't work it just deletes the grade on both timelines

[@garancepictures]

Late on this thread, but #mindblown ....

[@RJMaker]

Holy Crap! That is an awesome feature. Thank You!

[@playeronthebeat]

This is so awesome. I record games and stuff and I'm always "angry" about setting up the curves manually and stuff. Also, for everything I record on my camera this is a huge lifesaver! Well, more a timesaver, but a saver nonetheless!
