It’s easier than you think.

Hover on the shot you want to grade. (Or select one or multiple shots in the timeline)
Go to the Setup room and the Grades tab.
Navigate to the location of the preset grade.
Select the file and click Load.

Done

Hi, I downloaded some grades and placed them in a folder. When I try to apply them in color they appear as little folder icons and I cannot apply them. They appear to be files with a .colorgrade suffix. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi again, I found out why they didn’t work… I unzipped them on a pc and it didn’t like that. Once I unzipped them on the mac it was fine.

I have downloaded and unzipped grades from coloruser.net Some work ok but a lot don’t. For example CSI miami and that military look and golddusk.
I am obviously unzipping and putting them in the right place as some work. the ones that don’t just end up as a picture icon that do nothing. the others that work throw their node tree to the left visually.

can anyone help?

CSI Miami doesn’t have a node tree. It’s just some secondaries adjustments. Are you using it in the FX Room or globally like the step-by-step suggests at the top of this thread?

Hi, yes you are right – whilst i had correctly downloaded them and placed them in the right spot i was attempting to access them through the FX room rather than setup room. Cheers for your help.

I’m having the same issue – I navigate to where the .colorgrade is located, but nothing loads when I doubleclick. I’m in the Setup->Grades room. Any ideas?

Thanks, this answers my question also. Great forum. I’ve been hoping for years there would be a way to exchange pre-built grades.

I’ve followed said steps exactly- and I keep getting a weird cropping in almost EVERY effect I apply. Please help?

I haven’t seen the behaviour you’re describing. Which Grade did you download?
