Numerical Entry Key Group
On the center right-hand side of the Transport panel is the Numerical Entry key group. Here you
will find numbers 0 to 9 and associated keys for entering timecode and clip numbers. You will
notice the numbers you type are displayed in a scratchpad area at the bottom of the
Keyframe palette.
 Current: To store a new grade in any memory, first select the Current key and then the
memory of your choice.
 All Color PTZR: This key is a toggle that selects the parameters that will be copied
when updating a grade. Generally, all aspects of the grade are copied, including the
pan, tilt, zoom, and rotation sizing transforms, but on occasion you may wish to copy
only the grade and not the sizing parameters. In this case, use the All/Color/PTZR to
select the mode you need. You can see the Keyframe Timeline toggle between the
master or the node selected and the input PTZR parameters.
 Select Node: Use this key in conjunction with the numerical keys to select any node
on the current node graph. First, select the node number, and then Select Node. The
current node changes to the selected node.
 Backspace: The Backspace key moves you one item left in the numerical scratch pad
display. This permits correction of your numerical entries.
 0 to 9: You guessed it. These are the numbers!
 >, (Comma): The comma is used just before the frame count if you wish to indicate a
drop frame timecode.
 : (Colon): When typing in timecode, the convention is to type the hours followed
by a colon, then the minutes, a colon, the seconds, a colon, and finally the frames.
DaVinci Resolve does not need to have leading numbers entered where they offer no
value and the default value is 0, so to type one hour, three minutes, zero seconds, and
sixteen frames, you do not need to type 01:03:00:16. Simply type 1:3::16 and then press
Enter. This speeds timecode entry.
 Clear: Clears the scratchpad number.
 - (Minus): Select the Minus key prior to the number to reduce the number.
 + (Plus): Select the Plus key prior to a number to increase the number.
 Take/Enter: Select the Take/Enter key to accept or enter any input.
Keyframing Group
The Keyframe keys are on the bottom right-hand side of the Transport panel. The functions are
replicated on the T-bar panel. On the bottom right of the Color page is the Keyframe timeline
for the current clip in the Timeline. The Keyframe group of keys is used in association with the
Keyframe timeline and controls the selection of keyframes for the start and end of dynamic
transitions of the grade.
 Start Dynamic: This key is used to select the first point in a transition, a Dynamic
keyframe. The transition may be a grade change, a sizing or reposition, or the addition
of a matte or any number of 100 variables, all of which are associated with the
Node Editor and the Clip or Track Keyframe 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 a large number of other clips, use Ripple Value.
 Delete: This key deletes the 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 position.
