Power window outline is missing in 18.5

PostWed Jul 26, 2023 10:28 pm

I click on the power window tool, I choose a circle, and the power window tool outline does not appear at all.

I can still use the power window by using the transform controls, and I can see its shape by hitting SHIFT H, but there is no tool to grab, no outline at all.

Yes, I have the tool selected at the bottom left of the screen, and yes it is toggled on. I have reset the UI, I have restarted DaVinci Resolve 18.5, and I have rebooted my computer making sure nothing else is using memory or cpu but DR.

Anybody else have this problem?

Is it enabled in the viewer's overlay popup at bottom left of the panel?

Power window outline is missing in 18.6

PostTue Jun 18, 2024 6:47 pm

Hello!
I have a problem, I can't activate window outline. I have done everything you indicate: off, on, Only UI, but it does not work.

A couple of days ago the function was activated, I don't know what I did. Now I have been searching for hours and I can't activate it in my External Monitor.

Could you please help me?

Are you sure you have a Power Window activated in the Node tree? Is that node selected? Are you in the Power Window palette? Do all that and engage the "Window Outline" mode in the 3-dot option menu in the viewer, and it will work.

If you're in an older version of Resolve, I believe the Window Outline modes were in the VIEW menu, but it's been moved in the last year or so.

Maybe it was a glitch or something - in my case - but after a restart and an update the windows show up as normal.
