There is a new way for inspecting stored shots in LiveGrade Pro, the “Library Slot”. The library slot is an extra slot (hidden on default), that can be used to load a shot into. There are two main use cases for that:
A) Compare the look of a stored shot with the current look of a device slot
B) Permanently set the HD-SDI output to a certain shot’s frame grab
In order to un-hide (and hide) the library slot, you can choose “View” menu -> “Show Library Slot”.

To load the selected shot into the library slot you can use the “Load” button in the toolbar. It also un-hides the library slot if it is hidden. You can also drag a shot from the shots table to the preview image of the library slot. When a shot is loaded into the library slot, you see an indicator in the shot table showing which shot is currently loaded. There is also a context menu entry on the shot rows as well as a main menu entry for that.
The library slot has a button with a pin that allows you to pin the output of the viewer and the HD-SDI output to this library slot. If the pin is active, you will see the loaded shot in the viewer and on HD-SDI output, no matter which slot is selected.
In order to quickly switch betten different stored shots in the library slot, use the arrow keys for navigating through the table (arrow up and down), and the keyboard shortcut for “Load” (default is “Y”).
