Every time you create a folder in a bin, you also create a subdirectory within the saved
correction directory for that room within the /Users/username/Library/Application
Support/Color directory.

To save a correction or grade into a folder

1

Move the playhead to the shot with a correction or grade you want to save.

2

Double-click a folder in the corrections or Grades bin to open it.

The Directory pop-up menu updates to display the directory path in the Finder of the
currently open folder.

3

Enter a name for the saved correction or grade in the File field underneath the corrections
or Grades bin. (This step is optional.)

4

Click Save.

The correction or grade is saved within that folder.

Important:

There is no way of moving a saved correction into a folder after it's been saved

using the Color interface.

Reorganizing Saved Corrections and Grades in the Finder

Since each corrections bin simply mirrors the contents of the corresponding
subdirectories in the /Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color directory, you
can also use the Finder to reorganize your saved corrections and grades. For more
information, see

Reorganizing Saved Corrections and Grades in the Finder

Applying Saved Corrections and Grades to Shots

Once you've saved a correction or grade, applying it to one or more shots in your project
is easy.

To apply a saved correction or grade from a bin to a single shot

1

Move the playhead to the shot you want to apply the correction or grade to.

2

Do one of the following:

• Double-click the correction or grade you want to apply.

• Select a correction or grade to apply, then click the Load button underneath the bin.

• Drag the correction or grade onto the shot you want to apply it to.

The selected grade is applied to the shot at the position of the playhead.

To apply a saved correction or grade from a bin to multiple shots

1

In the Timeline, select all of the shots you want to apply the correction to.

Important:

If the current shot at the position of the playhead is not selected, it will not

be included in the selection when you apply a saved correction from a bin.
