Source Monitor Oddities

For all the things there are to love about Resolve, there seems to be plenty of work yet to be done.

Is there really no way to zoom into the 'timeline' of a clip in the Source Monitor? I have two markers fairly close together on a long clip. In the Source Monitor, they appear as one. I'd like to 'zoom in' to see those markers separately. Can it be done?

Also, the marker navigation keyboard shortcuts don't work in the Source Monitor. They work fine in the timeline. Bug? Glitch on my system? Design failure?

There seems to be no way to punch in an exact timecode in the Source Monitor. WTF?!

Marker navigation works on my Mac system, as does timecode entry when the source viewer has focus.

Thanks, Peter.

Updating to 14.1.1 seems to have resolved the Marker issue.

Timecode entry is also working, albeit differently than I'm accustomed so I didn't find it right away.

But there still seems to be no way of zooming in on the Source Monitor timeline. Can that really not be done, or is this something I'm also missing?

Not as yet

It would be grand if the timeline sizing shortcuts -- zoom in/out, display all, etc. -- also worked in the source viewer.

Yes it would, John. I do believe this is another one of those "You really released the software without this ability?" features.

Come on. Isn't "Not as yet" encouraging enough?

I think my argument is that Resolve is new to the NLE marketplace. However, the NLE market is not a new one. There are certain basic expectations that should be there from the start.

If you want to start a new car company in the 21st century, you have to offer seatbelts, side and rearview mirrors, windshield wipers, radios, etc. from the start. You can't add them later.

BMD has given us four wheels and a motor, and by all appearance is working very hard to add the rest of the car. It's just frustrating to have this "Model R" available for use and purchase without being fully complete.
