User Manual

 Dynamic Zoom Ease: Lets you choose how the motion created by these controls
accelerates. You can choose from Linear, Ease In, Ease Out, and Ease In and Out.
 Swap: This button reverses the start and end transforms that create the dynamic
zoomeffect.
Stabilization
Image Stabilization is available for clips right in the Edit page. These controls let you smooth out
or even steady unwanted camera motion within a clip. The analysis is performed in such a way
as to preserve the motion of individual subjects within the frame, as well as the overall direction
of desirable camera motion, while correcting for unsteadiness.
These are the same stabilizer controls found in the Color page’s Tracker palette (minus the
tracker graph), and the resulting stabilization analysis is mirrored on the Color page, where you
can see the data visualized on the graph, if necessary.
Stabilization controls found in the Edit page Inspector for each clip
A pop-up menu provides three different options that determine how the selected clip is
analyzed and transformed during stabilization. You must choose an option first, before clicking
the Stabilize button above, because the option you choose changes how the image analysis is
performed. If you choose another option, you must click the Stabilize button again to
reanalyze the clip.
 Perspective: Enables perspective, pan, tilt, zoom, and rotation analysis and
stabilization.
 Similarity: Enables pan, tilt, zoom, and rotation analysis and stabilization, for instances
where perspective analysis results in unwanted motion artifacts.
 Translation: Enables pan and tilt analysis and stabilization only, for instances where
only X and Y stabilization gives you acceptable results.
The other controls let you customize how aggressively the selected clip is stabilized.
 Stabilization Toggle: The toggle control for the Stabilization controls lets you turn
stabilization off and on to be able to compare the stabilized and unstabilized image.
 Camera Lock: Turning on this checkbox disables Cropping Ratio and Smooth, and
enables the stabilizer to focus on eliminating all camera motion from the shot in an
effort to create a locked shot.
 Zoom: When this checkbox is turned on, the image is resized by a large enough
percentage to eliminate the blanking (black edges) that is the result of warping and
transforming the image to eliminate unwanted camera motion. The lower a value
Cropping Ratio is set to, the more DaVinci Resolve will need to zoom into an image
to eliminate these blanked edges. If you turn this off, the image is not zoomed at all,
