To move the playhead among a series of keyframes:

— Choose Playback > Next > Keyframe (the right bracket key) or Playback > Previous > Keyframe (the left bracket key).


Moving Keyframes

If you need to change the timing of a series of keyframes, you can move the position of any keyframe, along with whatever values that keyframe contains.


To move a single keyframe using the onscreen interface:

— Use the pointer to drag any keyframe to another location.

— Drag keyframes in a top-level Corrector or Sizing track to simultaneously move all other keyframes on the same frame within that corrector.

To move multiple keyframes at the same time:

1 If necessary, open the keyframe track with the keyframes you want to move.

2 Drag a bounding box around the keyframes you want to move. Selected keyframes appear highlighted in red.

3 Drag any of the selected keyframes to move them to the left or right.


Changing Keyframe Values

Unlike many other applications, DaVinci Resolve lets you alter keyframe values when the playhead isn’t directly on an existing keyframe. How this works depends on the location of the playhead relative to the keyframes that are in the Keyframe Editor, and what kind of keyframes you’re editing.

If the playhead is to the left or on the first Dynamic keyframe: The Dynamic keyframe at or to the right of the playhead updates with the new adjusted values.

If the playhead is to the left or on the last Dynamic keyframe: The Dynamic keyframe at or to the left of the playhead updates with the new adjusted values.

If the playhead is between two Dynamic keyframes: The Dynamic keyframe to the left of the playhead updates with the new adjusted values, but the Dynamic keyframe to the right is unaffected.

If the playhead is between two Static keyframes (marks): Adjustments made between two Static keyframes always affect the keyframe to the left of the playhead. The entire segment of the clip between that keyframe and the next is affected equally.


Changing Dynamic Attributes

By default, the transition from one Dynamic keyframe to the next is linear. However, if you need to alter the acceleration of value interpolation from one Dynamic keyframe to the next, then you can change that keyframe’s dynamic attributes.


To change a keyframe’s dynamic attributes:

1 Click to select a keyframe in the Keyframe Editor.

2 Right-click the selected keyframe, and choose Change Dynamic Attributes.
