The Video Inspector transform group includes the following parameters, which are also editable in the Edit Sizing mode of the Sizing palette in the Color page:
— Zoom X and Y: Allows you to blow the image up or shrink it down. The X and Y parameters can be linked to lock the aspect ratio of the image, or released to stretch or squeeze the image in one direction only.
— Position X and Y: Moves the image within the frame, allowing pan and scan adjustments to be made. X moves the image left or right, and Y moves the image up or down.
— Rotation Angle: Rotates the image around the anchor point.
— Anchor Point X and Y: Defines the coordinate on that clip about which all transforms are centered.
— Pitch: Rotates the image toward or away from the camera along an axis running through the center of the image, from left to right. Positive values push the top of the image away and bring the bottom of the image forward. Negative values bring the top of the image forward and push the bottom of the image away. Higher values stretch the image more extremely.
— Yaw: Rotates the image toward or away from the camera along an axis running through the center of the image from top to bottom. Positive values bring the left of the image forward and push the right of the image away. Negative values push the left of the image away and push the right of the image forward. Higher values stretch the image more extremely.
— Flip Image: Two buttons let you flip the image in different dimensions.
— Flip Horizontal control: Reverses the image along the X axis, left to right.
— Flip Vertical control: Reverses the clip along the Y axis, turning it upside down.
Smart Reframe (Studio Version Only)
The Smart Reframe feature makes it easier to quickly reframe material across extreme aspect ratio changes. It’s useful for situations where you’ve shot a 16:9 horizontal video and find yourself needing to create a vertically-oriented 9:16 version for mobile phones and social media deliverables, or
using 4:3 archival footage in a 2.39:1 widescreen movie. Smart Reframe can be used manually, or automatically executed using the DaVinci Resolve Neural Engine.
— Object of Interest: Tools for selecting the subject that the resize will frame around.
— Auto: DaVinci Resolve’s Neural Engine will analyze the clip and choose its most representative object. This will be the only option if more than one clip is selected for Smart Reframing.
— Reference Point: Allows you to manually adjust a bounding box around the subject to reframe around.
— Reframe: This button executes the Smart Reframe command. This can take some time depending on the length and number of clips.
