User Manual

 Slip: Slip Head, Slip Clip, and Slip Tail keys are located on the same keys as Copy
Head, Copy Clip, and Copy Tail. That way you can seamlessly copy, move, and paste
material to a new location, then hold the Control key while pressing the respective Slip
key, and turn the jog wheel to refine the Head, Clip position or Tail based on the jog
movement of the playhead.
 Trim: The Trim Clip refinement tool shares a key with the Split Clip key so that you can
split a clip at the playhead position, then hold Control and the same key while using the
jog wheel to refine the position of the edit point created by the split.
 Clip Level: This key plus the jog wheel and the Control modifier key adjusts the Display
level of the selected clip’s waveform.
Edit mode keys for enhanced features only available in the Fairlight Audio Editor:
The Edit mode tools work exactly as expected if you are familiar with the Fairlight page in
DaVinci Resolve. There are, however, a few specialized keys that don’t have counterpart tools in
the Fairlight page. These unique tools perform valuable time-saving tasks.
 Clip Level: This key is both a Menu and Jog Wheel modifier key. Hold the Clip Level
key to reveal seven option keys to raise or lower the selected clip’s volume up +/- 3
dB. Incremental menu options keys from left to right include: -3dB, -2dB, -1dB, 0dB,
+1dB, +2dB, +3dB. As a Jog Wheel modifier key, hold the Clip Level key with the left
hand and turn the jog wheel with the right hand to raise or lower the clip’s volume level
dynamically based on the amount and direction that you turn the wheel. This can be
performed on the fly during playback, so you can dial up or down the volume level of
any clip on the selected track as the playhead passes over the clip. Clip level changes
can also be applied to multiple clips on multiple selected tracks simultaneously.
NOTE: At the time of this printing, The Edit page in DaVinci Resolve includes a
Clip menu option and keyboard shortcuts for incremental decibel changes,
however there is no comparable shortcut, or menu in the Fairlight page.
 Reverse Clip: This key is available as one of the Clip Menu action keys. When pressed,
this key reverses the clip beneath the playhead on the selected track. This creative
sound design tool is also available in the Record mode Clip Menu toolset.
 Range Menu Keys: A momentary-press on the Range key revels six invaluable Range-
defined tools for speeding up your tasks. Although they are also available in the Record
and Mix mode toolsets, you will primarily use them in Edit mode.
 Copy Segment: This action key copies all timeline material within a marked range.
 Paste Segment:This key pastes a copied segment to a new timeline location based on
the playhead position.
 Previous Gap: Use this key to extend a range by moving the range In Point to the
previous gap in the selected track or tracks.
 Next Gap: Use this key to extend a range by moving the range Out Point to the next
gap in the selected track or tracks.
