How can you copy a color grade from one clip to another?

• A. Export the grade as a preset and apply to the new clip.
• B. Copy and paste the color grade, or use Still Stores in the Gallery or drag a Still to another clip.
• C. Recreate the grade manually on the second clip.
• D. Apply the same LUT to the second clip.

Answer: (B)

Transferring the exact grading decisions from one clip to another is about moving the look you created without rebuilding it. You can copy the color grade from the source clip and paste it onto the target clip, which duplicates all the adjustments—wheels, curves, nodes, and any secondary corrections. Another fast approach is to save a snapshot of the graded frame as a Still in the Gallery and then apply that Still to the new clip by dragging it or selecting it in the Gallery; this applies the same grade cleanly to the new clip. While exporting a grade as a preset can carry the look to a new clip, it’s a bit more steps and less immediate for day-to-day work. Simply applying the same LUT won’t reproduce your full grading setup, so it won’t copy the exact grade created on the first clip.
