1. I would like to be able to save a colour correction from a shot in the timeline by dragging it to a bin - and the ICON for the saved effect to be a tiny pictorial version of the frame that it came from.
2. introduce an extra category for relational colour correction - in addition to 'tape', 'master clip', 'subclip', 'clip name' - and call it something like 'CC groups' or even 'bin'. This would enable you to grade MUCH BETTER and MORE QUICKLY by grouping together shots which have the same set up as each other (without having to resort to changing clip names). In an ideal scenario, the Avid would be able to 'group' these clips automatically (based on shot content) - OR assist you to group them yourself. The icing on the cake would then be for the Avid to then feed back to the operator how many shots you are grading at any one time - and even show you where the 'grouped' shots are in the timeline.
These things would improve my grading life a great deal.
Why does the product evolve so slowly? It's hardly changed since I first used it in 1995. Maybe that's why it's survived, I don't know. There are so many little things that could be improved.
