Save the grade to store the grading data on a specific cut. Grades are named using sequential numbers, but you can optionally add a text name to the number.
Note: You cannot create a grade if a cut is not loaded since a grade needs to always be linked to a cut.
To create a grade for a cut:
- Create or load a cut for which you want to save a grade. See Managing Cuts.
- Work on the grade as needed.
- In the Main menu, click Setup, and then click Grade.
The Grade menu appears.
- In the Grade menu, do one of the following:
- Click New Version to save the new grade version as a binary file.
- Hold down Ctrl and click New Version to save the grade version as an XML file.
- (Optional) Type a name for the grade in the Grade field and press Enter.
The grade appears in the Grade list under the current scene. It is given a sequential number. If you gave it a name, that name appears in addition to the number. The name of the associated cut appears in brackets to the right of the grade name.
