With the addition of the Cut page, DaVinci Resolve now has two editing environments, intended for two different audiences. While the Cut and Edit pages share many of the same panels such as the Media Pool, the Timeline, and the Viewer, the controls that are exposed on the Cut page have been designed for speed, so you can cut professional programs faster than you’ve ever been able to before.
Overview of the Cut Page User Interface
The default workspace of the Cut page consists of the Media Pool, a single Viewer, and the Timeline area. These three regions let you quickly import and organize clips, edit clips, and even export the result, all from within the Cut page.

Customizing the UI
A User Interface toolbar at the top of the Cut page lets you hide and show different panels as necessary. For example, you can hide the Media Pool if you wanted more room for the Viewer. You can also replace the Media Pool with other browsers in the Media Pool’s default area, showing the Sync Bin, Transitions, Titles, or Effects Browser in order to add those effects to your program in the Timeline. On the right side of the User Interface toolbar you can perform a Quick Export, expand the Viewer to Full Screen, or open the Inspector.
Separate buttons on the left let you open the Media Pool, Sync Bin, Transitions, Titles, and Effects browser.
