External Matte Support
DaVinci Resolve supports unlimited external mattes within a clip. These external mattes must be linked
to the associated image within the Browse screen Media Pool. To recall the external matte within the
Color screen, right mouse click on the node within the Node Graph display and select the associated
matte file or press the M key on the DaVinci Resolve control panel keyboard.
Once the external matte has been associated you may apply a grading inside the defined area. If you

control surface.
These controls allow you to adjust the matte for optimum results. A second key tab in the UI allows
further adjustments to position and size.
