DAVINCI RESOLVE CONTROL SURFACE 406
Reference Configuration
Located at the top left-hand side of the Transport panel are the Deck and Still Select keys. These are
all related to controlling the deck, virtual decks when in multi-playhead mode, and the grabbing and
selection of stills. There is also an Undo and Redo key, a Shift Up and a Save key.
Split (Shift Up In): DaVinci Resolve associates grading information based on source
timecode and as it’s also possible to have source clips with the same
timecode (sorted with file name and/or path, etc), it’s important to
have each source clip identified as a different clip to all the others.
The Split key will split one clip into two on the frame selected. Each
can therefore have their own grade.
In: When marking a transport (virtual or deck) in point you can use the
GUI or this key.
Join (Shift Up Out):  JoinisthereverseoftheSplitkey.PlacetheViewerontherstframe

Out: The Out key is used to select an out point on the transport.
Duration: To define a duration, first select the time using the numerical keypad
(the colon separates the hours, minutes, seconds and frames), and
then select Duration.
Gang: The Gang control permits the user to gang multiple clips so they will
play back from the first frame in synchronization. This is particularly
helpful for checking the impact of a grade on a couple of key shots
when using the PlayHeads feature of DaVinci Resolve.
Undo: The Colorist’s friend. DaVinci Resolve has virtually unlimited undo
steps available.
Redo: If you want to redo a step, use Redo. Ideal when used with undo to
compare two grades quickly.
