Update:
I would love for Resolve to keep all changes made by the editor to tools, states, views, etc. until those things are manually changed again. Currently, Resolve will reset a great many interface options.
I want that to end. We made those changes on purpose. They should stick across sessions until we change them again.
Original post follows:
There are certain changes that editors can make to the user interface, tools, dialogs, etc. that just don't 'stick'. We have to change these things every time the dialog opens, or for every new project, or every time we restart Resolve.
This thread is for posting which items really annoy us because we have to keep changing them, which items we wish would stay the way we set them up until we change them again.
I'll start.
1. Clips on the Deliver page. I don't want 'em, ever. But I have to turn them off every time I restart Resolve.
2. Advanced Settings under Video on the Deliver page. I do want these, every time. Yet I have to open them up every time I restart Resolve.
3. Qualifier on the Color page. I very rarely use it, so I have to turn it Off every time I open a new project.
4. Timeline View Options on the Edit page. I'd love to set this up just once, and have every timeline in every project for every database use those Options by default.
5. Normalize Audio Level dialog. I always use A/85 for my projects. I'd love for the dialog to remember the last used setting. This 'memory' would persist across all projects in all databases.
6. New Multicam Clip. I always use the same settings here, as well, and would love for this one to also remember those settings across all projects and databases so that I only have to set them up once.
7. Loudness Metering preset, Fairlight page. (Accessed from the three dot menu for the Loudness Meter.) Like I said, I always use A/85, so I'd love for this to stick across all projects and databases until I change it.
What about you guys? Anyone else have anything they wish would stick, so we set them up only once?
