Using Single vs. Dual Monitor Layouts

image

The Media, Edit, Color, and Fairlight pages can be switched between single screen and dual screen layouts by choosing Workspace > Dual Screen > On. Each dual-screen layout makes it possible to see many more controls at once, often in a larger workspace that lets you manage more clips, more Gallery stills, etc.

In Single-screen mode, you can choose which display shows the DaVinci Resolve UI by choosing Workspace > Primary Display > (Monitor Name). In Dual-screen mode, this reverses the contents of both monitors.

Using the Full Screen Timeline Option in the Edit Page

If you’re working in the Edit page in Dual-screen mode and you need the biggest timeline you can get for working through your program, you can choose Workspace > Dual Screen > Full Screen Timeline to expose a layout with one large full screen timeline, and all the other Edit page panels on the

other screen.
