Hi

searched for this but can't find an answer.. I use In and Out points in the timeline as reference points using SHIFT+I and SHIFT+O to go to In and Out point (as I sometimes place b-rolls at the end of the clips I'm editing, then cut and paste them as needed). Each time I paste a clip though (CMD+V) the In and Out point disappear... Is there a way to avoid this?

There is not.

As Paste will use the In/Out points for its operation, the presumption is that once Paste is completed, you would not want to Paste to the same location again, so In/Out are reset.

If your intention is to use In/Out solely for navigation, Markers may help with that task.

Well, no such thing was happening in Premiere but I guess I'll have to live with it! Thanks for getting back in any case

The biggest mistake I made after switching from Premiere Pro was thinking that my previous experience meant I could just jump into a new NLE without difficulty.

Nope.

As a new user, your first course of action should be to complete some Resolve training. The Beginner's Guide and Advanced Editing are an excellent groundwork to get you moving smoothly.

Fair enough - can't see the reason in getting rid of in and out point once a clip is pasted though.. Markers are fine, but you end up with a whole bunch of them, whereas with the In and Out point you'd always deal with two of them only
