Preview Marks During Three-Point Editing
In order to help you see what will happen whenever you execute a three-point edit, preview marks appear in either the Source Viewer or the Timeline Ruler to let you know the exact duration of the Timeline that’s about to be affected by the edit you’re preparing to make. To prevent them from being a distraction, preview marks only appear once you’ve explicitly marked three edit points in the Source Viewer and Timeline, and they can be turned on and off by choosing View > Show Preview Marks.
For example, if you set In and Out points in the Source Viewer, and an In point in the Timeline, then a preview marker will appear in the Timeline Ruler to show the implied Out point in the Timeline of the edit you’re about to make.

DaVinci Resolve based on the In and Out points that are set in the Viewer, and the In point
in the Timeline
On the other hand, if you set both In and Out points in the Timeline, and only an Out point in the Source Viewer, a preview marker appears in the jog bar of the Source Viewer to show you the implied In point, in the Source Viewer, of the edit you’re about to make.

If you like, you can move the playhead to the position of the preview mark by using Shift-I if the preview mark is an In point, or Shift-O if the preview marker is an Out point.
