Copying Grades Using ColorTrace
ColorTrace copies whichever version of a clip’s grade was applied in the Source timeline you’re
copying from, either local or remote, depending on which grades each clip in the Source
timeline is set to use. Furthermore, ColorTrace copies Group Pre-Clip and Group Post-Clip
grades, as well as Fusion compositions. These improvements make this an extremely reliable
tool for copying grades from one timeline to another in a wide variety of situations.
To use ColorTrace:
1 Open the Edit page and select the Timeline you want to use ColorTrace with
fromthe Media Pool, then open it and choose Timelines > ColorTrace > ColorTrace
FromTimeline.
Choosing ColorTrace for a selected Timeline

timeline within a single hierarchical list.
2 Using the Project List browser, select the specific Timeline you want to copy
gradesfrom.
You’ll need to click the disclosure triangle to the left of the database, user name, and
project that contains that Timeline in order to select it.
