Clip Edit Points Are Saved
Once set, In and Out points remain in place within each source clip or timeline until you set new
ones. If you quit DaVinci Resolve and later reopen the same project, each clip’s In and Out
points are saved for future reference.
Turning In and Out Points into Markers
with Duration and Back Again
If you want to log the most important sections of clips using In and Out points, you can only log
a single section at a time, as In and Out points are used to identify the next section of a clip to
be edited in a three point edit. However, two commands in the contextual menu of the Source
Viewer jog bar work together to let you turn In and Out points into Markers with Duration, and
vice versa:
Convert In and Out to Duration Marker: Turns a pair of In and Out points into a
duration marker. By default, no key shortcut is mapped to this command, but you can
map one if you like.
Convert Duration Marker to In and Out: Turns a duration marker into a pair of In and
Out points, while retaining the marker. By default, no key shortcut is mapped to this
command, but you can map one if you like.
Using these two commands, you can easily use markers with duration to mark regions of clips
that you want to log for future use, turning each region into an In and Out point when necessary
for editing. By default, these commands don’t have keyboard shortcuts assigned to them, but
you can assign them if you use them frequently.
To turn In and Out points into a duration marker:
1 Set In and Out points in the Source Viewer jog bar to identify a region you want to log
for future reference.
Marking In and Out points in preparation to log that section of the clip
2 Do one of the following:
Right-click the jog bar and choose Convert In and Out to Duration Marker.
Choose Mark > Convert In and Out Into Duration Marker.
A duration marker appears above the In and Out points. To edit its name or notes,
double-click the marker, press Shift-M, or choose Mark > Modify Marker.
A duration marker is created from the In and Out points
