2 methods to copy/paste your color grade - Davinci Resolve #editingtutorial #colorgrading

Introduction

When working on color grading in DaVinci Resolve, efficiency matters. Here are two easy methods to copy and paste your color grade, ensuring consistency across your clips.

Method 1: Using Command C and Command V

The first method involves simple keyboard shortcuts:

Select your color-graded clip.
Press Command C (or Ctrl C on Windows) to copy.
Select the uncolor-graded clip.
Press Command V (or Ctrl V on Windows) to paste.

Just like that, you can have the exact same color grade applied. From here, it's easy to tweak the color settings to suit your needs.

Method 2: Applying Grade to Multiple Clips

This method can be very useful when you need to color grade multiple clips simultaneously:

Select the uncolor-graded clips using Command Left Click (or Ctrl Left Click on Windows).
Right-click on the color-graded clip.
Click "Apply Grade" from the menu.

By doing this, you can instantly transfer the color grade from one clip to multiple others. This method is perfect for batch-processing clips that require consistent grading.

Believe me when I tell you, these methods are simple, but you’ll never forget them once you start using them!
