Another useful trick which i use a lot is to bring in my reference movie but not tell Resolve it is a reference movie so i can access it and use it in the timeline. Then I overlay it on the top layer say for example V4 and set the composite to soft light or screen. This allows me to see it composited over my online conform in the Color Room which is nice when you have a lot of repos for easy sizing changes. I also find it quicker sometimes than having to tell Resolve the clip is a reference movie and then having to adjust the timecode and all the other steps to get it into the wipe mode in the viewer. Of course this option is good for an onion skinning type view only but I've found it quite useful and fast along with the traditional method Warren outlines so well in his tutorial.
