Man you hit the nail on the head with not being able to be in multiple groups, with multi cameras I have to put my CST on the front of my clips section it can't be on Pre-Group because I like to have Scene # Groups... Hope Blackmagic Design is listening! Lol thanks for another great one!

Do you prefer the histogram over the waveform? I noticed that you used them more than the waveform,

[BrianMarcWhittaker]

Printer lights don't work in linear, right? Is it sensible to do a basic printer light pass for exposure and balance before doing more? Or is linear gain and linear gamma better than using offset/printer light hotkeys?
