‌Select All: Selects every keyframe currently available in the Spline Editor.‌

Click Append: Click once to select this tool and click again to de-select it. This tool lets you add or adjust keyframes and spline segments (sections of splines between two keyframes), depending on the keyframe mode you’re in. With Smooth or Linear keyframes, clicking anywhere above or below a spline segment adds a new keyframe to the segment at the location where you clicked. With Step In or Step Out keyframes, clicking anywhere above or below a line segment moves that segment to where you’ve clicked.

Time Stretch: If you select a range of keyframes, you can turn on the Time Stretch tool to show a box you can use to squeeze and stretch the entire range of keyframes relative to one another, to change the overall timing of a sequence of keyframes without losing the relative timing from one keyframe to the next. Alternatively, you can turn on Time Stretch and draw a bounding box around the keyframes you want to adjust to create a time-stretching boundary that way. Click Time Stretch a second time to turn it off.

Shape Box: Turn on the Shape Box to draw a bounding box around a group of control points you want to adjust in order to horizontally squish and stretch (using the top/ bottom/left/right handles), corner pin (using the corner handles), move (dragging on the box boundary), or corner stretch (Command-drag the corner handles).

Show Key Markers: Turning on this control shows keyframes in the top ruler that correspond to the frame at which each visible control point appears. The colors of these keyframes correspond to the color of the control points they’re indicating.

Thumbnail Timeline in the Fusion Page

In the Fusion page of DaVinci Resolve, the Thumbnail timeline (hidden by default) can be opened by clicking the Clips button in the UI toolbar and appears underneath the Node Editor when it’s open. The Thumbnail timeline shows every clip in the current Timeline, giving you a way to navigate from one clip to another. Each thumbnail has a pop-up menu for creating and switching among multiple versions of compositions, and resetting the current composition, when necessary.

The Thumbnail timeline lets you navigate the Timeline and manage versions of compositions.
