Viewer, press Option-F.
 To locate a media file in the Finder from the Media Pool: Right-click any clip in the
Media Pool and choose Reveal in Finder. A Finder window, or its equivalent in Windows
and Linux, opens to the directory with that clip, which appears highlighted.
 To find the audio clip that a video clip has been synced to: Right-click a video clip
that’s been synced to audio, and choose “Reveal synced audio in Media Pool” from
the contextual menu. The bin holding the synced audio clip is opened and that
clip is selected.
Finding Clips Using Markers or Flags
If you’re using markers to keep track of notes, issues, or items on your to-do list, there are a few
different ways of finding and moving among them.
Methods of finding markers or flags:
 To find all markers or flags via the Edit Index: Click the Option menu of the Edit Index
and choose Show Markers or Show Flags. Each clip with one or more markers appears
in a list, with columns corresponding to the color(s) and notes of each timeline and clip
marker.
 To find a specific marker or flag in the Edit Index: Click the magnifying glass button in
the Edit Index, choose Notes in the Filter by drop-down, and type a search term in the
Search field.
 To move the playhead to the next marker forward or previous: Choose Playback >
Previous Marker (Shift-Up Arrow) or Next Marker (Shift-Down Arrow).
Finding Gaps
Gaps, or spaces between two clips on the Timeline, appear by default as black. Unwanted gaps
may appear as black flashes while your program plays back, and are generally to be avoided.
DaVinci Resolve makes it easy to find gaps in specific tracks of your timeline.
To find gaps in the Timeline:
1 Make sure that the Auto Select control is enabled on any track you want to search for
gaps. Turn Autoselect off on any tracks you don’t want to search for gaps (for example,
title tracks where gaps are to be expected).
2 Do one of the following:
–
Choose Playback > Previous Gap or press Option-Command-Semicolon.
–
Choose Playback > Next Gap or press Option-Command-Apostrophe.
The playhead will automatically move to the first frame of the next gap in the Timeline.
Finding the Currently Open Timeline in the Media Pool
If you’re not using one of the available methods for organizing timelines separately from clips, it
can be easy to lose track of where your timeline happens to be. To find the currently open
Timeline in the Media Pool, choose Timeline > Find Current Timeline in Media Pool.
