Locked or Free Playhead
A pair of buttons at the upper left-hand corner of the Timeline lets you choose whether you use a
locked or free playhead.
Two buttons let you choose to use
a locked or free playhead.
– When set to locked, the playhead is fixed in the center of the Timeline, and your edited clips
scroll past it as you play (press the Spacebar), jog, or shuttle (use the JKL keys) in either direction.
Locked mode works great when you use the DaVinci Resolve Editor Keyboard. You can also scroll
the Timeline using your pointer by dragging the Timeline Ruler at the top to the left or right, which
also drags all of your clips to the left or right.
– When set to free, the playhead moves across the clips as you play (press the Spacebar), jog, or
shuttle (use the JKL keys) in either direction; the clips stay still. Once the playhead gets to the right
or left edge of the Timeline, the Timeline pages over to reveal the next part of your edit. You can
also move the playhead by clicking in the Timeline Ruler to jump the playhead to that frame, or by
positioning the pointer over the playhead’s top handle, or over the playhead itself, and dragging
the playhead wherever you want it to go.
Tracks
The Timeline is divided into multiple tracks, with each track capable of holding a sequence of clips in
order to create a program. The main tracks, which are labeled numerically, combine a clip’s video and
audio into a single item in the Timeline, for simplicity. Editing the In or Out point of a clip edits the video
and audio together.
Track 1 shows combined Video+Audio tracks in the Cut page Timeline.
TIP: In the Edit page, Video+Audio clips are presented as separated Video and Audio items
on different tracks. When you open the Fairlight page, audio is presented on tracks with
lanes, where each audio channel can be seen. In this way, each page gives you different sets
of controls over the contents of the Timeline that are appropriate for each page.
