Showing Which Panel Has Focus
Whenever you click somewhere on the DaVinci Resolve interface using the pointer, or use a
keyboard shortcut to “select” a particular panel (such as in the Edit page), you give that panel of
the user interface “focus.” A panel with focus will capture specific keyboard shortcuts to do
something within that panel, as opposed to doing something elsewhere in the interface.
Ahighlight appears at the top edge to show you which panel has focus so that you can keep
track of which part of the current page is taking precedence, and you can switch focus as
necessary to do what you need to do.

The Audio Timeline
The heart of the Fairlight page, the Audio Timeline presents the audio channels and tracks of
the currently selected Timeline differently than the Edit page does, in a one-channel-per-track
format that’s optimized for audio mixing and sweetening. The Audio page Timeline cannot
be closed.
