Resolve 14.3 – where did the scopes go?

I finished a job and upgraded to DaVinci resolve 14.3.

I went to |Workspace|Video Scopes|on/2-up|

Nothing. No pop-up window with scopes, that I can drag around the screen as needed.

Luckily, I stumbled upon how to re-enable the old one-at-a-time scope in the lower-right box. So I'm not completely S.O.L.

I'm trying to grade another project (scans of 8mm home movies). Part of the process is finding a white balance for the next group of shots shot under similar conditions.

I'd really like to see the pop-up-window video scopes with the choice of 1-up, 2-up, or 4-up, return to Davinci Resolve.

Sincerely;

In the scopes palette in the color page u can select to see the scopes as a pop up window and then key frames or clip info is shown bottom RHS.

I was on the color page.
I went to the [Workspace] dropdown menu.
I selected [Video Scopes ►], which is below [Gallery] and above [Data Burn-In] on the [Workspace] dropdown menu.
I selected [On ⇧⌘W] from the sidecar menu to [Video Scopes ►].
The pop-up window for the scopes didn't appear.
In addition, the scope that shares the space in the Lower Right-Hand corner with the [Keyframe] and the [ⓘ] (info) displays disappeared. It returned when I deselcted [On ⇧⌘W] from the [Video Scopes ►] sidecar menu.

On top of that, the menu items below [On ⇧⌘W] in the [Video Scopes ►] sidecar menu – [1-up], [2-up], and [4-up] – are now ghosted.

I'm running Resolve Version 14.3.0.014 on:

Model Identifier: iMac14,2
Processor Name: Intel Core i7
Memory: 32 GB
Chipset Model: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780M

I have no additional display on this computer, although I've contemplated adding a display for the [Video Scopes ►] pop-up window.

I don't excuse the pedantry in my above reply, as the reply to my initial query only reiterated what I'd already done to try to turn on the [Video Scopes ►] in v14.3.0.014. That reply was the tech equivalent of 'mansplaining', without offering anything useful or which actually addressed the problem I came to this forum to try to resolve (no pun intended.)

I do hope that with the next revision of Resolve, the pop-up video scopes returns...

It's working here for me.

Can you try the UI reset in the workspace menu, then select the scopes again?

If you are using a single monitor the scopes could be "off screen" as they are designed to be able to display a very large scopes window on a second monitor. Resetting the user interface will usually reset the position to the primary (or single monitor) screen. In a dual screen workspace setup, the scopes are not un-dockable.

I had the same problem on Windows 10 Pro, and yes UI reset as Peter suggests worked for me.

Yes, Peter's suggestion worked for me too.

Third time's a charm.

I'd tried doing the UI reset before my initial post, as I suspected the Scopes window had migrated to the inaccessible off-screen dimension. Nothing.

I know, I didn't mention it in the initial or subsequent post. It didn't work the first time, except I got back the dual monitors in the edit window (I find the dual-monitor layout a distraction when I'm assembling and grading film scans.)

After all the posts about " Reset the UI Layout" I gave it another go. I reset, then enabled the scopes.

Nothing.

I reset again, then turned the scopes off and then back on again.

Voilá.

But I'm still scratching my head as to why previous attempts to reset the UI layout didn't achieve this effect sooner.

SUGGESTION FORPROGRAM TWEAK: Provide a mechanism (other than the global [Reset UI Layout]) to move the scopes window to main screen dead-center on single-monitor set-ups.

Thank you for being insistent that [Reset UI Layout] be given another go...
