Clip/Track/Unmix: This is a toggle key. The color corrections in DaVinci Resolve
are generally associated to each individual clip and so most
of the time you will be in ‘Clip’ mode. Occasionally, you may
wish to make a grade or correction, enhancement, or even add
a matte to the whole timeline. In this case, select ‘Track.’ The
‘Unmix’ function allows pre-conformed clips with dissolves to
be un-mixed when using an EDL. Then each clip can be graded
separately as though there were two clips.
User (Shift Up Cache Mode): Will mark a clip for render cache.
Cache: This key is a toggle function to select one of the cache modes.
Cache All will background cache all clips.
This operation in performed when you move from the current
clip to another. Dissolve will cache clips with dissolves. User
will cache clips as marked by the colorist. User & Dissolve will
cache clips that you have marked for cache and also dissolves.
Editor: The Editor key is reserved for future use.
Proxy On/Off: DaVinci Resolve has three proxy modes to permit real time
playback in the event that the correction or resolution is too
high for the selected playback speed. With ‘Pre-generated
Proxy’ the system will use the pre-generated proxies (obviously
you need to have made the proxies first). The last mode is ‘OFP’
or ‘On-the-fly-Proxy.’ OFP provides a high-quality real time
input image resize. The ‘Proxy On/ Off’ key selects between
Off and the other of the two modes, depending on whether
you have or have not pre-generated the proxies.
Auto Color: This is a popular key. Using this key, DaVinci Resolve will
automatically make a basic primary color correction to balance
the blacks and whites of your image.
Page Up (Shift Up Gallery): In larger projects you may have a number of gallery pages
holding stills and this key will change the Gallery screen to the
next higher page number.
Gallery: Used to select the Gallery UI screen where you can manage
your stills.
Page Down (Shift Down Gallery): The inverse of the Shift Up Gallery function as this selects the
Gallery screen one page lower than the current.
A/C Mode: This toggle key will display the clips in the timeline in the order
of the EDL (the record order and often referred to as C Mode),
or the ascending order of the source clip timecode called
A Mode.
Handles Mode: This selection is reserved for future use.
