Audio Panel
The Audio Panel can be put into one of two modes via a pair of buttons above the audio
meters. In the default Meters mode, Audio Meters are displayed that show the levels of audio in
clips you’re playing. In Waveform mode, you can load audio clips side by side with video clips
opened in the Viewer in order to sync them together manually. The Audio Panel can also
be hidden.

The Cut Page
The Cut page is a focused environment for fast editing. It’s useful in situations where you need
to quickly cut a news segment, build an episode of web content, edit a straightforward program,
experiment with multiple arrangements of a scene, or put together a first assembly edit.
The Cut page is also a good introductory editing interface for people who are new to editing, as
it presents a streamlined set of tools that are fast to learn and simple to use. Whatever your
background, you’ll find the Cut page to be a valuable addition to your editing experience in
DaVinci Resolve.
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.
