Timeline Grades and Saved Stills
When you save a Gallery still, the Clip and Timeline grades are both saved. However, when you
apply a grade from that still, you only apply either the Clip grade, or the Timeline grade,
depending on which mode the Node Editor is in. For more information on saving and applying
grades, see Chapter 123, “Grade Management.
Grading Order of Operations
As you construct grades more carefully in the Color page, it may help you to know what the
precise order of operations are in the image processing pipeline of DaVinci Resolve. While you
can control the order of operations for node-specific adjustments by being careful about what
you do in which nodes, the order of pre-grade, non-node specific, and post-grade operations
are all fixed.
The following illustration shows DaVinci Resolve’s order of operations:
Operations that take place after nodes
Operations that take place before nodes
Operations that take place within nodes
