Choosing How to Copy Keyframes
When working with saved grades that have keyframes, you can choose how these keyframes
are copied via a setting in the Gallery contextual menu. There are three options:
 No Keyframes: No keyframes are copied. The state of the grade at the frame used to
save the still is what is applied to the target clip or clips.
 Keyframes Aligning Source Timecode: Keyframes are copied aligning the source
timecode of the saved grade with the source timecode of the target clip. This is the
ideal setting when you’re copying a grade back to the clip it came from originally, or to
a duplicate of that clip elsewhere in the Timeline, and you want the keyframes to align
with the same frames as before. If there is no source timecode overlap, keyframes will
be pasted aligning with the start frame of the edit, the same as the third option (below).
 Keyframes Aligning Start Frame: Keyframes are copied aligning the start frame of
the clip that still was saved from with the start frame of the target clip. This is the ideal
setting when you’re copying a grade with keyframes from one clip to a completely
different clip, with different timecode.
To control how keyframes are copied when you’re copying grades:
Right-click anywhere in the gray background area of the Gallery, and choose one of
these options from the Apply Grades Using submenu.
From that point on, keyframes, should they exist, will be copied using the selected method
whenever you copy a grade using any of the previously described methods.
Copying Grades Using the Mouse
An incredibly easy way of copying a grade from one clip to another, or from a still or memory in
the Gallery to a clip, is by using the third button of your mouse, usually mapped as the
“middle-click” of the mouse scroll wheel.
To copy a grade from a clip or still to one or more clips using the pointer:
1 Select the clip thumbnail you want to copy the grade to in the Timeline; a single
selected clip appears highlighted orange. If you want to copy a grade to several clips,
you can either Command-click multiple non-adjacent clips, or Shift-click a continuous
range of clips; multiple selected clips appear highlighted red.
2 Middle-click the clip thumbnail, Gallery still, or memory you want to copy the
grade˛from.
The grade of the clip you middle-clicked is copied to the previously selected
clip or clips.
TIP: If you’re using a trackpad, third-party software may allow you to define a
“three-finger-click” that works the same as mouse button 3. If you’re a pen and tablet
or trackball user, you may be able to define a stylus or other button to perform the
same button-3 action.
If you don’t have access to a middle-click on the pointing device you’re using, there’s another
way of doing this using a contextual menu command.
