thumbnail you want to copy from. If no clip in the Matching Source Clip pane is a good
match, double-click the “Set As New Shot” box.

Using ColorTrace in Manual Mode
Manual mode is ideal for situations where you want to copy grades between programs with
clips that have no timecode or reel name correspondence at all. The Manual ColorTrace
interface is designed to let you move through two different timelines, either a clip at a time, or in
matching multiples of clips, copying grades from the Source timeline to the Target timeline.
For example, if you’re trying to copy grades from a timeline that was conformed from individual
media files, to another timeline that was conformed from a flattened master media file, you can
use the ColorTrace Manual mode to accomplish this.
The manual interface consists of two sets of controls that correspond to the Source timeline
(labeled “Timeline to copy from”), and the Target timeline (labeled “Timeline to paste to”).
The general idea is that you move through both sets of timelines one clip at a time, or in
matching multiples of clips at a time, and copy grades from the “Copy from” timeline to the
“Paste to” timeline.
