I have a clip of an image. Earlier today, the transform box was perfectly aligned around the checkmark. Now, it seems to be much larger than the transform box. I have a strong reason to believe it is not the Input/Output Scaling options in Project Settings, because I most definitely did not touch this area before this happened, and changing these settings ruins the rest of the project. I possibly hit a shortcut or something. Any help would be appreciated

I'm having this issue too. Looks like a bug, but I have some footage in my timeline that uses the 2x super scale, but only some, not all of my footage. Feel like that's somehow triggered the transform box to always be too big. Anyone else have similar results on Davinci 19? I'm on version 19.0.2

What are you the dimensions of the image you are transforming? I bealive transform box overlay is limited to the frame of the clip you are using. For example....

Here is the .png image with transparency.



When I bring it into a much smaller timeline format, of 1080p, depending on the way clips settings are for missmatch resolution, in other words how will larger clip be fitted into smaller format timeline... you get proportionally scaled version to fit timeline format. But the transform overlay remains true to the frame boundaries of the clip.



Frame overlay of the transform tool should as far as I understand, be representation of the frame of the clip you are trying to transform. It does not outline the image if its on the transparent background it outlines the image file itself, including transparency.

If you have an image of a logo for example on transparent background, but image has a very tight crop, than it might appear the transform tool is around just logo, but if you load up another image with not tight crop you will see that it follows bounds of the frame of the file itself.

If I save the same image of a lamp post with bounds of the timeline, and I export it from resolve as png, you will see that transform tool respects the bounds of the format not what is in the image, transparency or not. Always check the original clip format of the file itself,



If you want more control than that, fusion is the place to do more advance types of transformations, cropping, rotoscoping etc.
