I am a DP who uses resolve for dailies color most of the time. Anyways, I am helping a friend out with color of his project. I was given an XML timeline with 7 video tracks. In the past editors have given me collapsed timelines on one track. Unfortunately on this project I need do that in resolve.
I have tried to use compound clip, but that of course removes edit points. Is there a way to collapse a timeline automatically in resolve or do I need to do it by hand?
Thanks

Hey Yon.

Is Semi-Automatic fine too?

If you select a clip (or many) and hit Option (Alt) Up/Down arrows it will move up and down tracks. It will overwrite clips underneath it. you can do this quickly from top down and flatten a pyramid timeline to, slim and ready to grade...

I must note though... that this is one of the strangest shortcuts in Resolve.
It does not exist in any menu (to my best knowledge), and therefore cannot be mapped.

In the keyboard shortcuts menu you cannot search for it (you can but you won't find)

In V15 its somehow gone... and dearly missing BTW

But if you change to the Premiere Pro keyboard layout (eww) its there again!

Hi Hector,
Thank you so much for your help. That works well.
