Shift-V only selects clips on track 1

PostTue Jun 16, 2020 8:02 pm

Select Nearest Clip only selects clips on track 1, even though I have track number 5 highlighted. How do I get it to select clips on a specific track?

A lot of operations in Resolve act on the tracks that have the Auto Select button activated. Shift-V acts on the first track that has Auto Select activated. https://www.premiumbeat.com/blog/using-resolve-auto-select-controls/

When I go to Timeline > Auto Track Selector, all the listed tracks are greyed out. How do I fix this?

When I switch to the edit page the "track destination selection" items are clickable and I can choose track 3 as the destination, but when I got Shift-V it still just selects clips on track 1. And when I switch back to the cut page it still just uses track 1 for the destination when I do shift-v there too.

I think I have it working now. I have to turn off Auto Track Selector on every track except for the one track that I do want it to auto select. That's pretty absurd interface behavior, but whatever, you gotta take the bad with the good I guess.

It seems much more logical if the default behavior would be for key commands to apply to the selected track. Maybe in a future version. Thanks for the help.

Oy, wait, the auto-select track choice doesn't persist when I go back to the cut page!

You can make it a bit easier by holding Alt/Option when clicking the track selector you want to use. That enables it for that track and disables the other ones.

If I get it to work *at all* in the cut page then that shortcut would help.

I think we can consider the Cut page a work in progress as it was introduced in the current major version of Resolve.

Huh, ok, I'll treat it as a beta feature for now. I'm brand new to Resolve, is there a way to make the edit page show the waveform on clips?

You can access the audio waveform settings by clicking the Timeline View Options. The leftmost button above the timeline.

Waveforms aren't shown if you're using the shortest track height.
