User Manual

 Default Version: If you have multiple versions of grades for a clip, this key is used to
select the Default version, regardless of which version is currently displayed.
 Previous Version: This selects the grade one version lower in order. For example, if you
are on version three, select Previous Version to get to version two. Once the Default
version is reached, selecting Previous Version again will select the highestversion.
 Next Version: Use this key to select the next higher version of the grade. Once the top
version is reached, selecting Next Version again will select the lower version.
Keyframing Group
On the bottom right of the Color page is the Keyframe timeline for the current clip.
TheKeyframing group of keys is used in association with the Keyframe timeline and controls
the selection of marks for the start and end of dynamic transitions of the grade.
 Start Dynamic: Use Start Dynamic to select the first keyframe in a transition. The
transition may be a grade change, resizing, the addition of a matte, or any number of
100 variables, all of which are associated with the node graph and the Clip or Track
timeline.
 Ripple Value: If you have a grade or effect, or just an adjustment, and you would like to
ripple this effect over another effect or over a large number of other clips, use Ripple
Value.
 Delete: This key deletes the selected keyframe.
 Lift Mark: If you place a keyframe in the wrong spot, put your cursor on the keyframe
and use Lift Mark to remove it.
 Trim: This key is used with the numerical keypad to trim a keyframe’s position.
 Mark: Like the Start Dynamic key, Mark is a major key. It places a Static keyframe on the
Keyframe timeline.
 Scene (Shift Down Mark): This selection opens the Scene Cut Detector.
Memory Access Group
DaVinci Resolve has a number of hot keys, called Mems, where you can store a grade for quick
reference. In fact, every time you make a grade for a clip, a memory of the grade is kept. While
you could save a still for each clip, having thousands of stills to scroll through would take time,
so there are 26 quick and easy memory locations to store a grade, called A–Z Mems.
Every clip has its own metadata for the grade that is stored by DaVinci Resolve as a memory.
There are a number of keys available to select or revert to these stored metadata memories, or
to clear the metadata to revert to a base grade or no grade state.
 All (Shift Up Base Mem): This is used to reset the current color correction of every
node in the node graph for the current clip, leaving the nodes in place.
 Base Mem: Used to reset the grade of the current node.
 Reset (Shift Down Base Mem): Used to reset the grades of the current clip.
Please note that there is an exception to the rule to clear the Base Mem. It is possible,
in fact very helpful sometimes, to have a clip preset that is not cleared when you select
Base Mem. For example, when a film is over scanned and the frame edges are shown
as well as the image. Instead of making an input resize adjustment for every clip to
remove the framing, a preset resize can be made and stored, with a label, and this
preset is not deleted when using Base Mem.
