FR: improve data entry/editing

PostSat Feb 10, 2024 10:07 pm

There’s a bunch of little tweaks that most NLEs have that would improve editing/entering data in Resolve. Here’s a few:

  • Return to accept changes in the Metadata Editor batch edits
  • Esc to cancel changes in the Metadata Editor batch edits
  • Shift+Return to go one row down and remain in Edit mode in list views

Another little request:
On slates - at least American slates - the info is ordered as Scene Angle Take.
This usually ends up in a logged edit as, say, 16F-1.
However, the Metadata Editor's Shot & Scene section orders the fields as Scene Take Angle.

Please change the order to Scene Angle Take to match what's the industry standard on slates and take naming.

One more:
This has been requested before here: viewtopic.php?f=21&t=186242
but I wanted to collect it here as well.

Please make the Angle column directly editable in the Media Pool list.
Right now one must go to the Metadata Editor to enter or change it.
