Is it at all possible to shift the track data (and keyframes set in Frame Mode) around in the duration of a clip?

I recently graded a bunch of pre-conformed commercials that came as DPX sequences (so no source TC) and all shared the same packshot, albeit in slightly different durations. Copy/pasting the grade from one edit to another didn't work as the first frame of the animation neither shared source TC nor the frame count from the beginning of the shot. Grabbing my entire tracking toolset and moving it back or forth a few frames would have helped. Is there any way to do that?

My workaround was some creative splitting and joining of clips to make Resolve paste my grade to the correct moment in time, but I wondered if this was possible at all.

I assume you did change the default - Apply Grades Using:



I also ran into this, wish they were movable/shiftable somehow. Still not in V15

Yeah I am aware of this option, but as helpful as it is, on pre-conformed masters it doesn't always help.

When you have a 20 sec and 10 sec edit, source TC is no good as the starting TC of our imaginary packshot of 00:00:17:00 doesn't even exist in the 10 sec version. And since the shorter version also has a later in point for the pack shot, the animation will be off when using "aligning start frames" as well.

I'll admit that this is not a problem I run into a lot, but it should be possible to shift tracks in time.

You can lasso the keyframes in the keyframe window and move those manually. At some point, some manual work is involved in reusing corrections for :10, :20, :30, and 1:00 commercials, and to me it's just part of the normal workflow. Sound mixers have similar situations.
