Hello BM team,
As my Dad used to say, you can expand the house as much as you can, if your bed is not comfy enough, you’ll never be happy in this place
It’s kinda how I feel about Resolve (not really, but we are all spoiled child
)
I really Love Davinci Resolve, and all the great things you’ve done with it.
But there still some basic things that need to be done, in order to make the edit less painfull.
So please, stop expanding the house by adding new features, and focus on the bed by improving the user experience (Oh my !
)
That being said, here’s a list of features request, splitted in two parts.
The first one is about things wich make the edit painfull, especially for long time editors.
And the second part is about improvements to make our editor life better
Edit fixes1) When we drag'n drop a file from bin to timeline, it always moves the playhead at the end of the clip. Would be nice to have an option to not move the playhead.
2) When we select and split a clip on timeline, both parts are selected.
That's unusual, and very unconvenient.
3) The ability to move forward and backward the playhead with the vertical wheel mouse.
And why not, to zoom in and out with horizontal wheel mouse.
4) A next/previous clip/edit that could work with all tracks, even if tracks selector are not active or clip selected.
5) An option to disable playhead snapping, which is too strong.
6) A keyboard shortcut to go to next/previous keyframe of a clip/track selected
7) The zoom behavior when we use shortcut keyboard is weird, not smooth, an different than when we use the timeline slider.
8) Tabs for timelines
9) Consistent shortcuts on all the pages
ImprovementsA) More keyboard shortcuts (clip attribute, duplicate timeline, etc...)
B) To be able to add a node to a TextTitle. For grading or fx.
C) Keep transparency of a compound clip.
D) Double-click in media pool to import media.
E) Curves for position keyframe.
F) A shortcut/button to export a still right from the timeline.
G) A new timeline created from a clip could have the same name by default.
H) An option to remove unused footages from bin. (there is a workaround with smart bins)
I) The ability to replace any file by another one.
I'm thinking about offline different sources.
J) mark clips in the edit pool, that are used in the timeline
K) A smart render between In and Out only.
L) A shortcut to add a mark on the timeline even if a clip is selected
M) The ability to navigate between fonts with the wheel mousse
N) The ability to rename shots, not only clip
O) The ability to drag audio/video tracks up and down
P) Clip Color should be reflected in the BIN as well as the timeline.
Q) OFX beeing keyframeable in the edit page
R) Clip attributes (OFX and standart clip settings) saveable and copy-pastable in the edit page.
And for the end, please take in consideration this amazing UI created by
