A preview marker in the Source Viewer shows the Source Viewer In point being automatically
calculated by DaVinci Resolve based on the In and Out points that are set in the Timeline, and
the In point in the Source Viewer
If you like, you can move the playhead to the position of the preview mark by using Shift-I if the
preview mark is an In point, or Shift-O if the preview marker is an Out point.
Dragging Preview Marks to Change an Edit
You can drag preview marks to alter the edit you’re about to make. When you drag a preview
mark, the corresponding In or Out point that’s opposite the Viewer with focus is altered to
accommodate the new three-point edit you’re setting up. For example, if you have an In point in
the Source Viewer, and In and Out points set in the Timeline, a preview mark appears in the
Source Viewer to show the Out point that will be used to edit the clip in the Source Viewer into
the Timeline. However, you can drag this preview mark to the left in the Source Viewer, and the
result will be that the Out point in the Timeline will move along with it, since you’re
retiming the edit.
