User Manual

 Embed timecode in audio output: When turned on, directs DaVinci Resolve to output
LTC timecode that’s embedded in channel 16 of the SDI stream and channel 2 of the
analog audio output from your video interface.
 Use Timelines Bin: This option is only available to be changed before you add clips
to the Media Pool; after you’ve added clips, it’s no longer available. Turning Use
Timelines Bin on creates a dedicated Timelines bin in the Media Pool, at the top of the
Bin List. When enabled, the Timelines bin contains all timelines in a project, and you’re
prevented from putting timelines into any other bin in the Media Pool. Whenever you
create or import a new timeline, it automatically appears in the Timelines bin. You can
add subfolders to the Timelines bin for more specific organization.
Dynamics Profile
Defines the default transition from one dynamic keyframe to the next for keyframed effects in
the Color page. By default this transition is linear, with the “Dynamic profile start” and “Dynamic
profile end” parameters set to 1. However, if you need to alter the acceleration of the
interpolation of values from one dynamic keyframe to the next, then you can change that
keyframe’s Dissolve Type in order to “ease” the effect transition you’re creating. The values in
these settings correspond to the graph curves found in the Dynamic Attributes dialog when
editing keyframes in the Color page. For more information, see “Changing Dynamic Attributes”
in Chapter 128, “Keyframing in the Color Page.”
Versions
Ten text fields provide a way for you to designate automatic names for the versions of grades
that you select in the Color page. To the right of each text field, a drop-down menu lets you add
a name from a handy list of predefined terms that’s been provided. Alternately, you can simply
click any field and type your own custom name.
When you change the name of a version in the Color page, the names you define in this list are
available from a drop-down menu in the Version Name dialog.
Using the named drop-down when editing the name of a version
Using a predefined list of names for your different versions avoids typos that can later create
folder naming issues when you use the “Commercial Workflow” options for rendering your
media in the Deliver page.
