- In Ask, describe the look: « warmer, with soft contrast », « match the outdoor shots to the indoor ones ».
- Or add a look file (.cube) with + then Add footage, and ask: « use this look on every shot ».
- Watch it, then ask for it stronger, softer, on some shots only, or gone.

Questions
Is my original changed?
No. The grade is part of the video; your original stays as you filmed it.
Can I grade only one shot?
Yes. Name it, or comment on its moment: « @0:31 too dark ».
