The new Source Tape feature of the Cut page might suit your needs.
Yes but I checked it and it holds every clip inside a bin as a whole (I mean you can't add just a part of it with setting in/out points). However, I find another setting under Edit Menu and that is "Decompose Compound Clips on Edit" this is the setting that I've been looking for.

The normal shortcuts work in Dynamic Trim.
Thanks for that really. I haven't noticed that simple Up and Down would the trick. I've been using AMC for a long time and now I'm having troubles on switching.

If you go to List view, this is one of the columns you can add.
Thanks for this one too. This was bugging me a lot. Finally I can work in peace
In addition to my earlier requests I have one more. I can toggle between source and timeline monitor. And I can swap timeline and source monitor however none of them do the trick. I mean I want to see source timeline and to make overwrite/insert edits without switching back to timeline everytime. This is also another time consuming thing.
And for (a) I found a workaround. When decreasing the number of monitor from 2 to 1 with the icon that looks like a rectangle on the top left of timeline monitor (at the left of three dot menu icon) and then start to make dynamic trimming now you can see bigger pictures side by side. However, if Resolve could be able to do this automatically it would be much efficient.
DaVinci Resolve has come a long way in the last couple of years. I never thought that I'm going to use Resolve as a NLE software while AMC is still out there. Although Resolve still has a long way to go, I am considering it to use in some of my projects. Some of the functions that I mentioned above are essentials for editing and actually the main reason people are still so attached to AMC. Because when you work on periodic/episodic jobs or 2 hour long projects these small functionalities do the most trick. You start to make them about million times and maybe even more. AMC become the industry standard not just because of its major and complex functions, it become the industry standard because it gives these basic functions as much efficient as possible.
