User Manual

Center Palettes
At 1920x1080 resolution or higher, a second set of palettes is organized at the bottom center of
the Color page. These palettes span a wide range of functionality, and the adjustments you
make with them can be combined with those made using the Color palettes.
Center palette selection buttons
NOTE: At lower resolutions, the Left and Center palettes are merged to fit the
DaVinci Resolve interface into a smaller area.
The eight available Center palettes include the Curves palette, the Qualifiers palette, the Power
Windows palette, the Tracker palette, the Blur palette, the Key palette, and the Sizing and
Stereoscopic 3D palettes.
Keyframe Editor, Video Scopes, and Information
The bottom right of the Color page can be switched between one of three things:
The three controls for displaying the Keyframe
Editor, video scopes, or Information palette
 Keyframe Editor: Provides an interface for animating Color, Sizing, and Stereo Format
adjustments over time. Each node in the Node Editor corresponds to a track in the
Keyframe Editor, which lets you animate each node’s adjustments independently.
Furthermore, each node’s track can be opened up to reveal parameter groups, so
that you can animate subsets of an individual node’s functions independently of
other functions within the same node. For more information about keyframing, see
Chapter 128, “Keyframing in the Color Page.”
 Video scopes: Provides a docked area where you can expose one video scope
at a time for reference while you work. You can also “undock” the video scopes
into a stand-alone window, in which you can show four different scopes at a time.
More information about using the video scopes appears later in this chapter.
 Information: Provides a way of seeing clip and system information while you work.
Dual Monitor Layout
The Color page has a dual monitor layout that provides maximum space for the Viewer, Node
Editor, and Control palettes on the primary monitor, and a simultaneously displayed Gallery,
Lightbox, Keyframe Editor, Metadata Editor, and Video Scope panel on the secondary monitor.
