The Color page Mini-Timeline
Scrolling, Zooming, and Navigation
A Timeline Ruler contains the top handle of the playhead, displays the record timecode of the
current edit, and acts as a scrubber bar that typically spans a longer section of the Timeline.
The scroll wheel of your mouse lets you zoom in and out of your edit, and if you zoom all the
way out you can fit every clip in the Mini-Timeline into the available width of the ruler, letting you
scrub through every clip in the Timeline quickly. Clicking anywhere within the ruler instantly
jumps the playhead to that frame.
Enabling/Disabling Tracks
The far left of the Mini-Timeline shows numbers for each track, and hovering the pointer over
the track number of any track in the Mini-Timeline of the Color page reveals a tooltip showing
the name of that track. Clicking a track number enables/disables that track along with all clips
on that track, similarly to using the Timeline > Enable/Disable Video Tracks submenu commands
(Shift-Command-1 through 9). Clips on disabled tracks are not rendered in the Viewer or video
output, and are hidden from the Thumbnail Timeline. If a track has been disabled in the Edit
page, it will appear dimmed in the Mini-Timeline.
Option-clicking a track number in the Mini-Timeline turns that track number red, letting you hide
clips from the Thumbnail Timeline without actually disabling the video in your program. This is
useful in situations where you want to prevent clips in a particular track (such as motion graphics
or titles rendered from another application) from intercepting the playhead when using the next/
previous clip commands.
Setting In/Out Points for Looping
You can use the I and O keyboard shortcuts to set custom In and Out points in the Timeline.
Once set, turning on Loop in the Viewer transport controls enables this range to be looped,
whether it’s a partial range of one clip, or a range spanning multiple clips together.
Using Multiple Timeline Playheads
DaVinci Resolve supports creating up to four separate playheads in the Mini-Timeline, that you
can use to jump back and forth among different parts of your timeline. Only one playhead can
be selected at any given time, and the currently selected playhead corresponds to the current
clip, highlighted in orange. Each playhead in the Mini-Timeline is labeled with a letter, A
through D.
Multiple playheads in the Mini Timeline for multi-region navigation
