Exporting Grades and LUTs
If you find it necessary to exchange grades with other workstations, there are two ways you can
do so directly: by exporting grades, or LUTs. This section discusses the export of Grades; for
more information about exporting LUTs, see Chapter 130, “Using LUTs.”
To export a grade:
1 Save the grade you want to export as a still in the Gallery.
2 Right-click the saved still in the Gallery, and choose Export.
3 Select the image format you want to save the still as. Choices include: DPX,
Cineon, TIFF, JPEG, PNG, PPM, BMP, and XPM.
4 Choose a location for the resulting still image and saved grade files, type a name into
the Save As field, and click Save.
Two files are saved. The image file contains the still image of the frame that was stored.
A DRX (DaVinci Resolve eXchange) file contains all the grading information.
To Import a grade:
1 Right-click anywhere in the gray area of the Gallery, and choose Import.
2 Click the Options button to select the specific file type you want to import, or select
All Files” for multiple formats.
3 Choose the image file that was exported from your DaVinci Resolve workstation, or
someone else’s. The accompanying DRX file must be in the same location. If you lose
the original image file, you can still import the DRX file by itself. It will preserve the
node structure of the still, but you will not be able to wipe against it.
The still you imported appears in the Gallery, containing the grading information you
wanted to import.
