No cropping controls on Edit page?

PostFri May 03, 2019 2:41 pm

Forgive me if I'm making an obvious mistake, but I can only find a Cropping control on/off switch on the Edit page, but no actual controls (Crop Left, Right, etc). Grateful for any guidance--screenshot attached.

Oops. It's in the Cut page, isn't it? So the Cropping switch on the Edit page is the enabler, then?

Double click to row with button.

It is uncomfortable that options are often hidden if they have already been opened.
DaVinci doesn`t remember it.

I'm trying to crop for the 1st time in DR 16. I have a video tutorial open re: cropping but their 1st step is to grab the mask in the Viewer. 1st, I don't know how he opened 2 Viewer screens and 2nd I don't know how he reaches the "Mask" tool (in between those 2 Viewer screens) to begin his cropping. I searched the DR manual and don't see any reference to Cropping.

I can't see in his video which page he's on.

Can this be done in Edit Page?

Or must you Crop in Cut Page?

Thank you!

Hey Charles,

Is there a way to move a Title created in Edit Page>Title>Fusion - Lower Third Simple Underline over to the left of the screen a little bit so the lettering is more visible?

I'm using Inspector >Fusion.

Thank you!

Make sure you have the Title selected on the Edit Page and click on the Settings tab in the Inspector. Now you can change the Position x and y to move the Title anywhere you want.

In Resolve 16, it is the Video tab in the Inspector instead of the Settings tab, should still work.

Hi Eric,

I'm in the Edit Page, I have the Title highlighted, I have Inspector open but I don't see the word "Settings" but I did click on the Gear-like icon on a little window which displays Settings and there is an X: and Y:
Is there any way to toggle them so you can see the Title move left or down? I typed in different numbers in X including 0.00000 and the title never moved.

Can you pls share the step or nuance I'm missing?

Thank you so very much!
