Quality of life requests, please fix these issues:
Posted: Fri Dec 08, 2023 8:33 pmA bunch of things i want to see fixed with resolve:
Davinchi resolve is by far the best video editor out there! Its all in one design, its intuitive user interface, i could go on, but the thing is that it does unfortunately have some small issues that i do want to point out, so blackmagic design can see this and know what to fix.
1. The top clip opens in fusion page??
When you select a clip, then click the fusion page button at the bottom, any human person would expect the selected clip to now be opened in the fusion page. But instead, it opens the clip touching the plahead that is at the highest point in the timeline? So the only option your left with is to right click, then select open in fusion. Its not that big of a deal but its very anti user intuitive
2. When switching timeline tabs, it doesn't save your vertical scroll position.
Lets say you have 70 video and audio rows, and you get the vertical scroll in just the right spot to see what audio and video clips you're working with. Then you accidentally click another timeline tab. When you switch back, your vertical scroll positions have been lost and are reset to the bottom now. Very annoying.
3. Magic masks in the fusion page are different than magic masks in the color page?
If you create a magic mask on the color page, then return to the edit page and reposition the newly cut-out video, it seems to lose its cut-out status. you then have to redo the magic mask.
Weird, but then if you make a magic mask in the fusion page, this problem doesnt exist. it seems to have been solved but only in the fusion page. Blackmagic needs to add this feature to colorpage magic masks.
4. Similarly to how you can right click a clip and select 'open in fusion page', there should be an option to select a 'open in color page'
No elaboration necesary
5. Keyframes cant move past one another.
If a video clip has multiple keyframes, and you want to move one, you cant move it over another keyframe...
1 2 (<-keyframes)
If i want to move 1 to the right of 2, i cant.
6. Ctrl c Ctrl v project glitch
If you try to duplicate a project by selecting the project, pressing Ctrl C, then Ctrl V, it will cause a corrupted file if the project is big enough. Use import/export method instead.
So far these are the only issues i can think of with Davinchi resolve! This editor is incredible! The fact that there are so little issues with this editor is so incredible, it really goes to show how good of an editor it is!
There's a rule against 'ranting posts,' but I genuinely believe this doesn't infringe upon that rule. I kindly request permission for it to remain posted, as it's not a rant but, rather, a respectful highlighting of very minor critiques that I hope will be acknowledged, thank you.
