Search Dial Live Trimming Tools

‌PLACE ON TOP‌

Lets you edit the incoming clip as a superimposition above whatever other clips are in the Timeline; the incoming clip is always placed on top, so if there are clips in Tracks 1, 2, and 3, the incoming clip is automatically placed on Track 4, regardless of which track is selected. The frame the incoming clip aligns with depends on the following:

— The incoming clip aligns to the playhead if no timeline In or Out points have been defined.

— The incoming clip aligns with a timeline In point if one has been set.

— The incoming clip’s Out point will align with a timeline Out point if one has been set without an In point. This “backtimes” the clip.

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 key 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.

Search Dial Live Trimming Tools

Several of the most powerful features of the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard involve the intuitive trimming controls afforded by the Search dial.

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.

In the Edit page, the target clip for the trim is prioritized by selection first, then by track order under the playhead.

In Source mode, holding this key and rotating the search dial adjusts the In Point of the clip in the Viewer.

The Trimming tools

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.

In the Edit page, the target clip for the trim is prioritized by selection first, then by track order under the playhead.

In Source mode, holding this key and rotating the search dial adjusts the Out Point of the clip in the Viewer.

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.

SLIP DEST (Slip Destination)

When this key is pressed and held, it allows the user to slip the footage of the clip to the right 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. This operation will work on audio only edits in the Edit page, but no video multivew will be shown.

TRANS DUR (Transition Duration)

Holding down this key when a transition is under the Smart Indicator or playhead will allow you to change the duration of the transition using the search dial. Turning the dial left will shorten the transition and right will lengthen it. Once the duration is correct, release the key.
