User Manual

Overview of the Cut Page
With the addition of the Cut page, DaVinci Resolve now has two editing environments, intended
for two different audiences. While the Cut and Edit pages share many of the same panels such
as the Media Pool, the Timeline, and the Viewer, the controls that are exposed on the Cut page
have been designed for speed, so you can cut professional programs faster than you’ve ever
been able to before.
Overview of the Cut Page User Interface
The default workspace of the Cut page consists of the Media Pool, a single Viewer, and the
Timeline area. These three regions let you quickly import and organize clips, edit clips, and
even export the result, all from within the Cut page.

Customizing the UI
A User Interface toolbar at the top of the Cut page lets you hide and show different panels as
necessary. For example, you can hide the Media Pool if you wanted more room for the Viewer.
You can also replace the Media Pool with other browsers in the Media Pool’s default area,
showing the Transitions, Titles, or Effects Browser in order to add those effects to your program
in the Timeline.
Separate buttons let you open the Media Pool, Transitions browser, Titles browser, and Effects browser
You can resize the Media Pool and Viewer by dragging the vertical seam that connects them to
the left or right, in the process making one panel bigger and the neighboring panel smaller.
