When I select the clip and then double click on Retime and Scaling in the inspector, the four options are grayed out because Retime and Scaling is turned off. If I turn it on the four options are defaulting to "Project Settings". The other options available under scaling are Crop, Fit, Fill and Stretch. Changing these settings seems to have no effect on the selected clip.
I was just reminded that this is a compound clip. It is two sets of raw images compounded to make the color settings apply to both. They are the same time lapse sequence, but the frame numbering started over again and so Resolve sees it out of order. I could just go back and renumber it, since I have a program I wrote to do just that. What I did is select the beginning of the sequence from the end of the shot and put that on the timeline, then I selected the end of the sequence from the beginning of the clip and put that on the timeline. Then I selected both clips to make a single compound clip. Could that be part of the problem ?
I just ran an experiment. I took one of the two clips and put it on the timeline. It is not cropped. So I have a fix. I can remove the one compound clip and put the two clips back onto the timeline. This is really more of a workaround. So I think there are two possible causes. 1. Because it is a compound clip it would not let go of the cropping that probably occurred because of a setting when the clip was put onto the timeline. Or. 2. When I upgraded to a newer version of Resolve, a setting had changed and so during import of the clip a cropping was frozen. The fix in either case is to remove the new clip from the timeline, change the setting, and then put the clip back on the timeline.
I think the setting is Retime and Scaling, which defaulted to on when I installed the newer version of Resolve.
