Using the Gallery
The Gallery in the Color page and the expanded Gallery window environment share many of
the same commands for organizing stills. However, the commands for saving stills and
customizing split-screen views are restricted to the Color page.

Saving Stills
One of the most common operations is to save a clip as a still (with that clip’s embedded grade)
for future reference and use.
To save an individual still in the Color page, do one of the following:
 Choose View > Stills > Grab Still (Option-Command-G).
 Right-click on the Viewer and choose Grab Still.
 Press GRAB STILL on the Transport panel of the DaVinci control panel.
It’s also possible to save stills automatically for every clip in the entire Timeline. This can be
useful if you’re planning to export a set of grades to hand off to another colorist, or if you need
to apply a series of grades manually from one project to another when ColorTrace™ won’t work.
To save a still for every clip in the current timeline, right-click
the Viewer, and choose one of the following:
 Grab All Stills > From First Frame: The first frame of each clip is saved to the Gallery.
 Grab All Stills > From Middle Frame: The middle frame of each clip is saved to
the Gallery.
 Grab Missing Stills > From First Frame: Only the first frame of clips with no stills in the
Gallery are saved to the Gallery.
 Grab Missing Stills > From Middle Frame: Only the middle frame of clips with no stills
in the Gallery are saved to the Gallery.
By default, when you save one or more stills, they’re named “TrackNumber.ShotNumber.
VersionNumber” with dots separating each number. If you like, you can choose an option from
the General Options panel of the Project Settings to “Automatically label Gallery stills” in
different ways. This is covered in more detail later in this chapter.
