Power Grades are color presets, are you taking advantage of this great tool?
You don’t need to create node tree templates, effects, or grades from scratch for every project.
A power grade is like taking a still or saving your nodes, they’re saved in the database so you can use them across projects!
In this video from Learn Color Grading, you’ll learn:
- When you may want to use PowerGrades
- Comparing stills and PowerGrades

You can even export a Still or PowerGrade and install it on a new machine, so share your presets with friends!
