Drag the correction bar (in the grades track of the Timeline) of the shot you want to save
to the corrections bin.

Tip: To overwrite a previously saved correction with a new one using the same name,
select the correction you want to overwrite before saving the new grade, then click
Replace when a warning appears. This is useful when you’ve updated a grade that you
previously saved.

Entering a custom name for your saved correction is optional, but recommended, to help
you keep track of all your corrections during extensive grading sessions. If you don't enter
a name, saved corrections (and grades) are automatically named using the following
method:

CorrectionType.Day Month Year Hour.Minute.Second TimeZone.extension

The date and time used correspond to the exact second the correction is saved. For
example, a saved secondary correction might have the following automatic name:

Secondary.01 May 2007 10.31.47EST.scc

Corrections from each room are saved into corresponding directories in the
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color directory. For more information, see

How Are Grades and Corrections Saved and Organized?

Saving Grades into the Grades Bin

Saved grades store the corrections that are applied in the Primary In, Secondaries, Color
FX, and Primary Out rooms all at once, so there's one more step.
