Undo and Redo in DaVinci Resolve
No matter where you are in DaVinci Resolve, Undo and Redo commands let you back out of
steps you’ve taken or commands you’ve executed and reapply them if you change your mind.
DaVinci Resolve is capable of undoing the entire history of things you’ve done since creating or
opening a particular project. When you close a project, its entire undo history is purged. The
next time you begin work on a project, its undo history starts anew.
Because DaVinci Resolve integrates so much functionality in one application, there are three
separate sets of undo “stacks” to help you manage your work.
The Media, Cut, Edit, and Fairlight pages share the same multiple-undo stack, which
lets you backtrack out of changes made in the Media Pool, the Timeline, the Metadata
Editor, and the Viewers.
Each clip in the Fusion page has its own undo stack so that you can undo changes you
make to the composition of each clip, independently.
Each clip in the Color page has its own undo stack so that you can undo changes you
make to grades in each clip, independently.
