Grouping and Ungrouping Shots
A group is an organizational construct that's available in the Shots browser only when
it's in icon view. The purpose of groups is very simple: they provide targets with which
you can copy a grade to multiple shots at once.
Some examples of ways you might use groups include:
• You can organize all shots in a particular scene in a single group to facilitate applying
and updating stylized corrections to every shot in that scene at the same time.
• You could also organize only those shots within a scene that are from the same angle
of coverage (and so may be able to share the same corrections), so that you can apply
and update the same grade to every shot at once.
• Every shot of a certain type (for example, all head shots of a specific speaker) can be
grouped together to similarly let you apply corrections or grades to all those shots
simultaneously.
The uses of groups are endless. In short, any time you find yourself wanting to apply a
single correction or grade to an entire series of shots, you should consider using groups.
Note: Shots can only belong to one group at a time.
There are several different ways you can select shots you want to group together.
