The adjustment you made in step 4 is applied to the designated range of clips.
Admittedly, that was a long and detailed procedure, but the actual button sequences are
straightforward once you put them together. Here are some examples of button sequences that
ripple an adjustment you’ve just made in different ways:
“10 , 15” then SHIFT DOWN then RIPPLE VALUE: Copies the change you’ve made to
the current clip, and applies it as a new node that’s appended to the end of clips ten
through fifteen.
MODES then RIPPLE MODES then “34 , 45” then FORCED RIPPLE: Copies the entire
grade of the current clip, using it to overwrite the grade of clips 34 through 45.
MODES then RIPPLE MODES then “– , +” then SHIFT DOWN then RELATIVE RIPPLE:
Copies the change you’ve made to the current clip as a relative percentage, and
applies it as a new node appended to the end of every single clip in the entireTimeline.
WARNING Once you ripple a change in this manner, there is no going back. Since
undo is a per-clip operation, there is no global undo for changes made to the entire
Timeline. Proceed with caution.
Using Shared Nodes
Shared nodes are meant to be a way to extend the benefits of automatically rippled changes
among different clips to colorists that prefer a flatter node structure than Group Grading allows.
By turning individual Corrector nodes into Shared nodes, and copying these to multiple clips,
you enable linked adjustments right from within the clip grade. This means that the clip grade
can freely mix both clip-specific nodes and Shared nodes, all within the same node tree. This
makes Shared nodes fast to use as there’s no need to create groups or switch to a group node
tree (covered in the next section) to reap the benefits of linked adjustments among
multiple clips.

What Are Shared Nodes Good For?
Shared nodes are similar to group grades, except that they don’t require grouping and can be
added to any normal grade. Changes made to a Shared node are automatically rippled to all
other instances of that node in the grades of other clips. Furthermore, you can add as many
Shared nodes to a grade as you like, and you can arrange them in any order to control the order
of the operations they apply. And, of course, you can intersperse them with ordinary
