I am trying to insert a text plus title into my video, and wanted to key frame it with the write on effect. However, the key framing diamond is not showing on my screen. It looks as if the right side of the inspection tab is somehow being cut off. I could not find a way to scroll over or make the application larger somehow. I have included a screenshot of this below. Please let me know if you need any additional information from me, as I am very new to video editing and Davinci Resolve 15 (free version). Thanks!

I would suggest making sure that your window is maximized first. Then, under the Workspace menu there is a option "Reset UI Layout", try that.

I tried setting it to fullscreen mode and resetting to UI but am still having the same issue. It just looks as if the inspector tab is stretched out. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the resolution of my laptop screen (1366x768)?

They generally tell you that you need a minimum of 1680x1050 displays for the GUI to work well, but I think you need at least 1920x1080. 2550x1440 works extremely well for me on a 27" screen. For a lot of reasons, laptops are not ideal for Resolve. I think a big beefy 17" laptop could work acceptably provided it had a lot of cores, lots of RAM, and at least a 1060 GPU (or an external eGPU).

I had a similar issue. The Inspector was not showing the keyframe diamonds at all. But I learned it was because I had two separate clips linked together... Doh!
