The Transform parameters in the Inspector of the Edit page
If, when importing an AAF or XML project file, you turned on the “Use sizing information”
checkbox, then every clip that had position, scale, rotation, or crop settings applied in the
originating NLE will have those adjustments applied to these transform parameters, which is
convenient for keeping imported transform settings separate from other DaVinci Resolve-native
transform settings.
Additionally, a set of Dynamic Zoom parameters also exists in the Inspector, which let you make
quickly animated transforms using graphical controls that correspond to the start and end states
of an animated transform. However, these transforms are lumped in with the other Edit page
Transform parameters in terms of the order of sizing operations occurring throughout
DaVinci Resolve.
The Dynamic Zoom settings in the Inspector of the Edit page
The transform that’s made via the Edit Sizing controls refers back to either the source resolution
of each clip, or the resolution output by the Fusion page if it’s in use.
Image Stabilization
DaVinci Resolve provides Image Stabilization controls in the Cut, Edit, and Color pages that all
control the same transform operation that happens between Edit sizing and Input Sizing in the
image processing pipeline. The transform that’s made via the Image Stabilization controls refers
all the way back to either the source resolution of each clip, or the resolution output by the
Fusion page if it’s in use.
Input Sizing on the Color Page
The Sizing palette on the Color page has another dedicated set of keyframable transform
parameters that work with the various DaVinci control panels to let the colorist apply pan and
scan adjustments while working through a project. These parameters work independently of
the Edit page Transform parameters, allowing you to keep imported transform settings separate
from other transform settings that you apply. However, for convenience the Edit sizing controls
are available in the Color page as well.
The transform that’s made via the Input Sizing controls refers all the way back to either the
source resolution of each clip, or the resolution output by the Fusion page if it’s in use.
