— You can choose to scrub both the thumbnail you’re hovering over and the Viewer, letting you preview the current still’s grade or a LUT over the duration of the current clip in both the thumbnail and Viewer.

— You can choose to scrub just the thumbnail, leaving the Viewer to show just the grade or LUT over the frame at the position of the playhead.

— You can disable scrubbing altogether, in which case both the thumbnail and the Viewer will only show the grade or LUT over the frame at the position of the playhead.

Playing Stills and Setting Up Image Wipes

There are many ways to play a still in the Color page, making it visible as an image wipe in the Viewer and on the external display connected to your video interface.


To play a still, displaying it as an image wipe or full screen, do one of the following:

— Double-click a still in the Gallery.

— Select a still in the Gallery, and click the Image Wipe button on the top Viewer toolbar.

— Click a still in the Gallery, then right-click in the Viewer and choose Show Reference Wipe.

— From the Color > Stills menu, choose Next Still (Option-Command-N) or Previous Still (Option- Command-B) to select a still in the Gallery, and then choose Wipe On/Off (Command-W) to play it.

— Press PREV STILL or NEXT STILL on the DaVinci Resolve Advanced Search Dial panel, or the DaVinci Resolve Advanced control panel to select a still, then press PLAY STILL. Press PLAY STILL again to dismiss the still.


Whenever you play a still, the Viewer mode’s drop-down menu changes to Split mode.

Once displayed, the wipe between the current clip and the still being referenced can be moved and reoriented in different ways. If you want a full-screen view so you can flip back and forth between the still and the current clip, simply adjust the split until the still fills the entire Viewer.


To adjust a wipe in the Viewer, do one of the following:

— Drag the pointer within the Color page’s Viewer to move the wipe.

— Push the T-bar lever up and down on the T-bar panel of the DaVinci Resolve Advanced control panel.
