SRC O/WR (Source Overwrite)
This edit requires overlapping timecode in multiple clips to work properly, such as when
recording synced timecode to multiple cameras during a multi-cam shoot. If there is no
overlapping timecode, this edit does nothing.
Press this button to automatically place a source clip with a marked In/Out region on top of a
clip in the Timeline so that its timecode syncs with the timecode of the timeline clip, when you
don’t know exactly how much of the incoming source clip you want to edit into the Timeline, and
you just want it synced appropriately.
Trimming Tools
Several of the most powerful features of the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard involve the
intuitive trimming controls afforded by the Search dial.
The Trimming tools
Trim In
When this key is pressed and held, it lets the user trim the In point of the clip in the Timeline
under the playhead, by simply rotating the Search dial back and forth. The trim point is
highlighted in green. Release the key to confirm the edit.
Trim Out
When this key is pressed and held, it lets the user trim the Out point of the clip in the Timeline
under the playhead, by simply rotating the Search Dial back and forth. The trim point is
highlighted in green. Release the key to confirm the edit.
Roll
When this key is pressed and held, it lets the user trim the nearest edit point to the clip under
the playhead, and roll the edit point back and forth between the clips by simply rotating the
Search Dial. The trim point is highlighted in green. Release the key to confirm the edit.
SLIP SRC (Slip Source)
When this key is pressed and held, it allows the user to slip the footage of the clip to the left of
the nearest edit point to the playhead back and forth by moving the Search Dial. A four way
multiview will show the In and Out points for both source and destination clips as you slip. The
clip that will slip will be highlighted in orange. Release the key to confirm the edit.
