3 Make whatever changes you need to, adjusting any of the palette controls in the Color page you
need to, except for Camera Raw, Sizing, and Data Burn, which aren’t node-specific.
4 When you’re happy with the change you’ve made, choose Color > Ripple Node Changes to
Current Group.
The change you’ve made should ripple to every other clip in the current group that has a node of
the same number, and in a few moments the thumbnails of those clips should update to show
the change.
Appending a Node to Multiple Clips
If you’ve made an adjustment to a node in one clip that you’d like to apply to several other clips, you
can quickly do that using the Color > Append Node to Selected Clips command. You can do this as a
prelude to using one of the Ripple Node Change commands, as it’s a quick way to make sure several
previously ungraded clips have the same nodes, but you can also do this as a quick way to apply the
same node change to several clips, regardless of whether they have matching node trees.
To append a node to other selected clips:
1 Select the clip you want to use to make the change so that it’s the current clip, outlined in orange.
2 Select the node you want to append to other clips.
3 Now, Command-click or Shift-click to select the range of clips you want to ripple your change to,
so that they’re all selected red.
The clip you’re copying from should be outlined in orange, and the clips you’re rippling the change
to should be highlighted in red.
4 Choose Color > Append Node to Selected Clips.
The selected node should be appended to the end of the node tree of each selected clip, and in a
few moments the thumbnails of those clips should update to show the change.
Using Shared Nodes
Shared nodes are meant to be a way to extend the benefits of automatically rippled changes among
different clips to colorists that prefer a flatter node structure than Group Grading allows. By turning
individual Corrector nodes into Shared nodes, and copying these to multiple clips, you enable linked
adjustments right from within the clip grade. This means that the clip grade can freely mix both
clip-specific nodes and Shared nodes, all within the same node tree. This makes Shared nodes fast to
use as there’s no need to create groups or switch to a group node tree (covered in the next section) to
reap the benefits of linked adjustments among multiple clips.
