 Preview Mem: To preview one of the Memory grades on any clip, select the clip on the
Timeline, select Preview Mem and then the Memory letter. This key is a toggle so if you
do not like the grade on the memory for that clip, select Preview Mem again and the
grade will revert to the original.
 Original Mem: Each clip by default has a memory of its grade and sizing, etc. If you
are grading a clip and move from it to another clip, the grade for the first clip is saved
automatically in a memory for that clip. If you come back to that clip and make a change
to the grade, then decide you don’t like the change, select Original Mem to return to
the grade status you found originally.
 Scroll: When you select Scroll you can navigate up and down the Timeline to find and
select a clip and its grade to recall to the current clip.
 View (Shift Up Current): The Color page has two display modes. The normal mode
includes the viewer, stills, and node graph on the top of the page. Selecting View
toggles to the alternate page with a wide Node Graph view and stills but no viewer.
Select View again to toggle back to the normal mode.
 Crnt: Select Current before selecting a Mem key (A, B, C to Z) and the current grade on

of keys on the control panel. This operation does not require you to hold the Shift Up
key, just select it prior to the second key.
 Shift Down: The Shift Down key permits the operator to select the lower secondary
function of keys on the control panel. This operation does not require you to hold the
Shift Down key, just select it prior to the second key.

 Memory Keys: The A, B, C to Z keys, selected directly or with the appropriate Shift Up
or Shift Down preselection will recall the grade stored in this memory and will apply it
automatically to the clip that is active on the Timeline.
Menu Navigation and Node Control Group
DaVinci Resolve is a nodal-based color enhancement system. Grades are not stored in layers,
but in nodes. In operation they can appear to be in layers if you select the Serial nodes, but
greater grading flexibility is available by using the Parallel and Layer nodes.
This group also gives you quick access to the main menus to control primaries, secondaries
(known here as Vectors), image sizing, and windows. It also offers a quick way to add and
manage nodes.
All three panels have LCD panels which display the menus
