Project Settings
The first section within the Settings tab is for Project options.
Resize image in viewer for correct aspect ratio:
This control will select between using a square or non-square
pixel aspect ratio within the viewer. This is important when
working with SD images which do not have a square pixel
aspect ratio.
Output single field when paused: This setting will reduce flicker when grading using a computer
monitor or when working with interlaced material. Ordinarily,
when viewing interlaced material in stop or pause mode,
field one is displayed followed by field two. Depending on
the image, this can result in a flicker on the display. When this
option is enabled, only field one will be shown on the monitor
when playback is paused; however both fields will be shown
when the clips are played.
Mattes display high contrast black and white:
This option will show a black and white display (i.e., high
contrast) rather than the standard grey matte when
highlighting a secondary color correction isolation.
Enable dual SDI 3D Monitoring: All DaVinci Resolve systems can generate a side by side
display that can be sent to a Stereoscopic monitor via the
HD-SDI output of a DeckLink HD Extreme card. When dual
SDI 3D monitoring is enabled, each eye is output separately
at full resolution on either the DeckLink HD Extreme 3D, or the
NVIDIA dual SDI monitoring outputs. In this mode, split-screen
wipes and cursors will not be visible on the grading monitor,
nor will you be able to view image resizing.
Don’t update interface icons in playback:
Selecting this option forces a priority to update the playback
image at the selected frame rate by reducing UI updates.
This mode is helpful when complex grades are used on
low processing power systems or when working with
higher resolutions.
