Apple Color 1.5 - Manual (Page 87)

• Load button: Applies the selected grade or correction to the shot that’s at the current
position of the playhead (if no other shots are selected) or to multiple selected shots
(ignoring the shot at the playhead if it’s not selected). As with any Color bin, items
displayed can be dragged and dropped from the bin into the Timeline.
How Are Grades and Corrections Saved and Organized?
Grades and corrections that you save using the Grades and Corrections bins in Color are
saved within the Color preferences directory in your /Users/username/Library/Application
Support/Color directory.
Location on disk Saved correction category
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color/Grades/ Grades
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color/Primary/ Primary corrections
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color/Secondary/ Secondary corrections
/Users/username/Library/Application Support/Color/Effects/ Color FX corrections
Saved grades and corrections in these bins are available to every project you open.
Individual corrections in each of the above directories are saved as a pair of files: an .lsi
file that contains a thumbnail for visually identifying that grade, and the specific file for
that type of correction which actually defines its settings. Unless you customized the
name, both these files have the same name, followed by a dot, followed by the date (day
month year hour.minute.secondTimeZone), followed by the file extension that identifies
the type of saved correction it is.
• Grade_Name.date.lsi: The thumbnail image used to represent that grade in icon view
• Grade_Name.date.pcc: Primary correction file
• Grade_Name.date.scc: Secondary correction file
• Grade_Name.date.cfx: Color FX correction file
Saved grades are, in fact, file bundles that contain all the correction files that make up
that grade. For example, a grade that combines primary, secondary, and Color FX
corrections would be a directory using the name given to the grade,
“Grade_Name.date.grd,” containing the following files:
• Grade_Name.date.lsi
• Grade_Name.date.pcc
• Grade_Name.date.scc
• Grade_Name.date.cfx
