Self-Labeling Picture Keyboard
The picture keyboard offers six different key layouts based on the six Editor modes. It also
functions as a QWERTY keyboard for typing and data entry. Each Editor mode includes a
specialized toolset of keys, unique to that mode. If you are familiar with the Fairlight page in
DaVinci Resolve, the picture key functions are self-explanatory as they are clearly labeled with
text and icons. For even easier identification, you can change the appearance of the picture
keys to text only in the Editor Setup options on the Setup mode keyboard toolset by toggling
the Icon Buttons key to reflect as Text Only.
Since there are hundreds of picture key tools for nearly every function on the Fairlight Page in
DaVinci Resolve, this section will focus on the types of picture keys, the different Editor mode
toolsets, and keys in each Editor mode that offer tools and options that are only available in the
Fairlight Audio Editor.
Types of picture keys:
 Editor Mode Keys: These keys determine the current mode of operation in the
Fairlight Audio Editor. There can only be one active mode at a time, however, you
can momentarily jump into a different mode to choose a setting, tool, or task, then jump
back to the current mode. These modes include: Setup, Record, Monitor, Macro, Mix,
and Edit.
 Menu and Menu Option Keys: Pressing or latching a Menu Key reveals a group of
Menu Option keys adjacent to the latched Menu key. In most cases the Menu Option
keys remain visible until you unlatch the parent menu key. For example, in Edit mode,
you can latch the Track Menu key to show seven Track Menu-related option keys,
including Unlock Height, Lock Micro, Lock Mini, Lock Large, Track Safe, Hide Track,
and Un-Hide All. These options are also available when you right-click a track’s header,
or click the Visibility icons on the Tracks pane of the Index Panel in the Fairlight page.
When the picture keys are in Text Only mode, the Menu keys can be easily identified
by the colored tag in the upper-left corner of the key.
NOTE: At this time, there is not an Un-Hide all tracks function on the Index
panel in the Fairlight page. However, you can click your mouse on the Hide
icon and drag it down over other hidden tracks to quickly swipe on or off track
visibility. The Un-Hide All key is an example of a feature that is only available in
the Fairlight Audio Editor.
