– Luminance mixer defaults to zero: Selecting this option sets the Y channel of the YRGB
parameters for all grades to zero. This is required to be able to export a compliant ASC-CDL, and
will impact all grades that use the Lum Mix control.
– Use legacy Log grading ranges and curve: DaVinci Resolve 12.5 introduced a modification to the
Log grading controls that provides smoother, more pleasing results using the same controls. To
maintain backward compatibility with older projects, a “Use legacy Log grading ranges and curve”
checkbox in the Color panel of the Project Settings lets you switch your project between the older
Log control behavior and the newer one. Older projects that are opened in DaVinci Resolve have
this checkbox turned on by default, while new projects have this turned off by default.
– Use S-curve for contrast: On by default, this checkbox sets the contrast control in the Color
Wheels palette to apply an “S-curve” to the image, such that the shadows and highlights of a
signal will not be clipped when you increase the value. If you would prefer for these contrast
adjustments to be made linearly, and for the signal to be allowed to clip when you reach the upper
and lower boundaries of the video signal, you can turn this checkbox off.
– Use legacy sizing interactions for windows and effects: DaVinci Resolve 14.1.1 improved how
window tracking applies transformations, to correctly handle things like pixel aspect ratio (par).
New projects should leave this setting disabled, however older projects should leave this
checkbox enabled to ensure tracking and transforms remain applied the way they were before.
– Apply stereoscopic convergence to windows and effects: When enabled, DaVinci Resolve
correctly maintains the position of a window that’s been properly placed over each eye as
convergence is adjusted in the 3D palette. Enabling this checkbox also enables an additional
Convergence parameter in the Window palette that lets you create properly aligned convergence
for a window that’s placed onto a stereoscopic 3D clip, as seen in the following screenshot.

The Convergence control in the
Transform section of the Window palette
appears when you enable “Apply stereoscopic
convergence to windows and effects”
– Use local version for new clips in timeline: Automatically sets all new clips that are added to
existing timelines, or all clips that are added to new timelines that are imported via AAF, EDL, or
XML, to use local grades by default. If you want all clips added to new timelines to use remote
grades instead, as with DaVinci Resolve version 9 and earlier, you can turn this checkbox off.
– Automatically match master timeline with media pool: If you turn on this option before importing
any media into the Media Pool, or importing any timelines that will in turn import media into the
Media Pool, you can create projects with a Master Timeline. When enabled, clips are added to and
removed from the Master Timeline as they’re added to and removed from the Media Pool, so that
the Master Timeline always contains all media in the Media Pool. Once media has been imported
into a project, this setting cannot be changed.
– Save timeline thumbnails with project: To minimize project size, and maximize the speed
of saving and loading projects, you should leave this checkbox unchecked. If you select the
checkbox, all of your Timeline thumbnails will be stored inside every project, instead of in the
default directory that’s ordinarily dedicated to stills, during both Save and Auto Save operations.
This provides a good history of the project but takes much longer to complete and uses more hard
disk space.
