Timeline Management Group
When grading clips, colorists often try different looks. This group of keys offers a quick way to
navigate through these versions and to split and join clips on the Timeline.
 Split (Shift Up Undo): This key splits the clip at the position of the cursor on the
Timeline.
 Undo: Undo is one of the favorite keys of colorists. Try any grade, and if you don’t like
it, simply undo. There are multiple steps of undo available within the page.
 Join (Shift Up Redo): The reverse of split. Place the Timeline cursor at the junction of
two clips that have sequential timecode and select Join to make just one clip.
 Redo: Sometimes you hit undo once too many times. Redo will put back into effect the
last item you undid. As with undo, there are multiple levels of redo.
 Restore Point: This selection is reserved for future use.
 Save: Remember this key; it’s your friend. Save often, and also consider the auto save
options found in the User Preferences.
 Add Version: When you make a grade on any clip, DaVinci Resolve stores the
parameters for that clip. If you want to try different grades, don’t lose your good grades,
just use the Add Version feature. This key makes a second, third, or higher version of
the grade for that clip.
