Input and Output Sizing Presets
If there are Input or Output Sizing settings that you find yourself using repeatedly, you can save
them as presets for easy recall. For example, if there’s a group of input settings that you use to
resize a clip of a particular format to match the current project, you can save it as a preset that
you can use whenever.
 Preset drop-down menu: Provides access to all the currently saved presets in the
current database.
 Delete Preset: To delete a preset, select it from the drop-down menu, click the trash
can button, then click OK.
 Save As New Preset: To add a preset, make whatever settings adjustments you need,
then click the plus button. When the Format Preset dialog appears, enter a name, check
that the settings are correct, then click Save in the Format Preset window.
 Update Preset: To change a preset, load the preset you want to change, make
whatever changes you need, then click Update in the Format Preset window.
The Input and Output Sizing modes save different presets. Each of these sets of presets is
available from the “Override input scaling” and “Override output scaling” drop-down menus in
the Image Scaling project setting menu.
Sizing Controls with the
DaVinci Control Panel
There are two sets of DaVinci control panel mappings for the sizing controls. The most obvious
controls can be seen permanently mapped to the knobs and soft keys of the Transport panel.
This makes these controls easy to access for projects where you’re panning and scanning
nearly every shot of a film-scanned program.
To adjust PTZR settings:
1 Press the OUTPUT or INPUT soft key to switch between Output Sizing and Input
Sizingmodes.
2 Use the PAN, TILT, ZOOM, and ROTATE knobs of the Transport panel, and the H FLIP
and V FLIP soft keys.
To adjust Input and Output Blanking:
1 Press the INPUT BLANKING or OUTPUT BLANKING soft key on the Transport panel.
2 Use the knobs labeled LEFT, RIGHT, TOP, and BOTTOM to make a blanking adjustment.
3 Press SIZING when you’re finished.
Another set of DaVinci control panel mappings appears when you press the SIZING button of
the T-bar panel. In this case, the Center panel knobs and soft keys update to a page showing
the following:
 Ref Wipe Sizing Adjustments: These controls, on the middle screen of the Center
panel, let you reposition a still from the Gallery that’s being displayed in a split screen.
This can make it easier to compare features that would otherwise be obscured by the
still’s position on screen.
