Source & Timeline Viewer

Hi, I am very new to DaVinci Resolve. May I know how to open dual viewers in Da Vinci because I can't find any options to open source & timeline viewers to play them side by side. I am forced to use single mode. Besides, I need to know how to navigate to "Show Zoomed Audio Waveform" as I can't get it by following the tutorials from the books or manuals. Thanks.

Are you on a laptop with a relatively small screen by any chance?

The UI adapts to the screen size based on what panels are open; with smaller laptop screens there may simply not be enough room for everything to fit at once, so Resolve adapts to squeeze in what it can.

If you have bins, properties, or other panels open on the left or right side of the window, you could try hiding them to see if there is enough space for the viewers.

You are on the Edit page? I believe Cut is constrained to one multipurpose viewer.

Yup, you got it. The whole time I was on the Cut page until I clicked on Edit page by curiosity, it literally took me a couple of hours to figure out that. Thanks for your reply.

I have a 19.5 inch standalone monitor but I am unsure if that's relatively "small". At first, I literally thought that my screen size might be "too small" for Resolve to display properly and much bigger size of monitors might be needed but I got my dual viewers when I clicked on the Edit Page by curiosity. It took me a couple of hours to figure out that. Thanks for your reply anyway.

I think it is. I recommend the following as usable minimums.
