Automatically cue number of frames into timeline clips:
Use this control to change from the default cue point
operation, the first frame of the clip, to some number of
frames after the first. This is handy if the source material has
black or camera rollup flashes at the beginning of each clip.
Always highlight the current clip in the media pool:
If you select this option, any clips that are current on the
Color or Conform screen will be automatically identified in
the media pool within the Browse screen.
Show the current frame in the master session:
When selected, the current frame for the current session
will automatically be identified on the master session. If
you are in the Color screen with an EDL/timeline open and
you switch to the master session, DaVinci Resolve will auto
cue to the same frame within the master session. This is
particularly helpful when working with multiple sessions and
local versions of grades.
Use color picker: The Color Picker Style setting changes the manner of
selecting colors within the Secondary color correction
controls. DaVinci Resolve is the normal and modern mode,
however some colorists who are familiar with the legacy 2K
prefer the DaVinci 2K mode.
Switching clips selects: When switching clips, DaVinci Resolve can switch to the
same or another node in the node graph. The four options
below determine which node is selected:
Last Adjusted Node: Each clip retains its node
settings. This is the normal
setting.
First Node: The first node is selected as the
current node.
Last Node: The last node is selected as the
current node.
Same Node: The same node will be selected,
if available.
Resize scaling uses: When resizing images with DaVinci Resolve, particularly with
SD images, you may want to change the resizing filter from
the normal ‘Uses sharper filter’ setting to ‘Uses smoother
filter.’ Remember, if your project uses HD-resolution media
and you’re outputting an SD version to tape, this is a resize of
the image to SD. We advise that you review the ‘Sharper’ and
‘Smoother’ filter settings to select your preference. If you’re
working on a system with less processing performance, you
can also choose the less processor-intensive ‘Uses bilinear
filter’ option for better performance previews while grading,
before switching to one of the higher-quality options
for rendering.
