You can turn on Duplicate Frame Detection (often referred to as Dupe Detection) for clips in the
Timeline by choosing View > Show Duplicate Frames. Doing so shows colored bars at the top of
clips in the Timeline whenever a range of frames has been used more than once.

Comparing Timelines
For instances where you’re importing multiple versions of a timeline that’s been edited in
another application, or where you’re working with multiple editors on different versions of the
same Timeline in either collaborative mode or on multiple separate DaVinci Resolve
installations, DaVinci Resolve provides a method of comparing two timelines with one another.
Using the Timeline Comparison window, you can both see a visual comparison of which
sections of two timelines differ, and you can derive a more traditional change list by opening up
the Difference Index.
To compare two timelines:
1 Open the first timeline you want to compare.
2 Right-click a second timeline in the Media Pool, and choose Compare With
CurrentTimeline.
A Timeline Comparison window appears, showing you the currently opened Timeline at
the bottom and the Timeline you right-clicked at the top.
