Showing and Hiding Panels Using the Interface Toolbar

Each page in DaVinci Resolve has an Interface Toolbar that runs along the top. This toolbar contains buttons that let you show and hide different panels of functionality to accomplish different things:

— You can show panels that aren’t displayed by default, since most pages have many available panels of functionality that are hidden until you need them.

— You can assign keyboard shortcuts to show and hide individual panels in your workspace for instant configuration of the UI. Keyboard shortcuts to toggle these panels on or off can be assigned using the Keyboard Customization window.

— You can switch which panel appears within a particular geographical location of the UI, for example switching between showing the Media Pool or Effects in the upper-lefthand corner of the Cut or Edit pages.

— You can hide panels you don’t need in order to create more room in the specific panels you’re working within.

If you right-click anywhere within the UI toolbar, two options appear: “Show Icons and Labels” and “ Show Icons Only.” If you show icons only, the UI toolbar becomes less cluttered.
