Small glitch at 14:26!! Or just user error 😄 Cut it off somehow. My bad! Simply right click and apply grade, or middle mouse on the PowerGrade to apply to any clip going forwards!

Bonus tip to 18:32 is in the File Name field type % and it inserts inbuilt variables to dynamically name files on Rendering, saving them in the preset helps a lot with Organisation. An EG of one is Mine %{Timeline Name}%{Project Name}_%{Render Resolution}_%{Render Codec}_%{Date Modified}

with the Color Management tip, if you are using the same camera and color space from project to project, you can set color space input and output in advance and then just save that as the Default project settings for future projects!

I love instruction guides that include the step 'go put the kettle on'

Thank you for this! Didn't know about powergrades. I have an adjustment clip with my colorgrade saved in my powerbin and I always move it above my A-Roll. Will try the powergrade next time :)

Color Management - you need to be careful what you select b/c the option to select Input Color Space may not be there. You must only select clips and clips that were not already updated. So, if you use select all and right-click, you may not see the Input Color Space option. It’s a bit tricky when dealing with a huge amount of clips.

OMG! Awesome lessons. Time savers! Thanks again Alex!

Dynamic Project Switching. My tip of the day. Thanks Alex.

Who in their right mind "hates" the cut page?! It's the most efficient way to make your rough cut, especially if you own the Speed Editor. My productivity went through the roof with the cut page and Speed Editor. Even if I didn't have the Speed Editor, I'd do my rough cut on the edit page.

Great video as always! By the way the proxy generator is also a watcher: if you add videos to a folder into the proxy generator it will start converting the new clips by itself in the background. Very handy for bigger or longer projects 😊
