The Edit Page User Interface
The Edit page has evolved into a source-record style NLE that contains nearly every editorial
tool you need for creative editing through finishing. The Edit page is divided into three main
regions: the browsers found at the left, the Viewers at the top, and the Timeline at the bottom,
all of which work together to let you import, edit, and trim timelines with a flexible variety of
tools and methods.
The Edit Page in its entirety
The Interface Toolbar
At the very top of the Edit page is a toolbar with buttons that let you show and hide different
parts of the user interface. These buttons are as follows, from left to right:
The Interface toolbar
Media Pool/Effects Library/Edit Index height button: Lets you set the area used by the
Media Pool, Effects Library, and/or Edit Index to take up the full height of your display
(you can display two at a time), giving you more area for browsing at the expense of a
narrower timeline. At half height, the Media Pool/Effects Library/Edit Index are restricted
to the top of the UI (you can only show one at a time), and the timeline takes up the full
width of your display.
Media Pool: Opens or hides a smaller version of the full Media Pool page, allowing
access to all the video clips, audio clips, and images used in the project.
Effects Library: Opens or hides the repository of all transitions, generators, OpenFX,
and audio filters available to use in the Edit page.
Edit Index: Opens or hides the list of all edit events in enabled tracks of the Timeline.
Sound Library: Opens or hides the databases of sound effects and music registered
with DaVinci Resolve. For more information on using the Sound Library, see Chapter
149, “Using the Fairlight Page.”
