Video/Audio Track Heights

PostMon May 01, 2023 1:02 pm

Hi guys,

Is there a way to set all the video or audio track heights on the Edit page at the same time? Is there a way to set a default track height?

Thanks, Geoff

Hold down Shift and scroll with the mouse wheel.

But then you have to do that every time you create a new timeline. Op and I don't want to have to do that. I figured out something about myself that might be helpful to you as well. It drives me nuts when people provide workarounds without labeling them as work arounds. Your answer might be the best answer but unless it's preceded by answering op's question, it isn't an answer.
This is an answer: "You can't do that in Davinci Resolve. The best I can offer you is a quick way to do it, Hold down Shift and scroll with the mouse wheel".

There is no explicit default setting as such, but when you start a new project the clips placed in the timeline are always at a certain size which in a way is a default.

You only have two ways of changing the track heights with the timeline occupied, with Track Height in the Timeline View Options context menu, or the Shift+scroll method.
After placing the first clip on the timeline you could adjust its size with Track Height and then all subsequent clips that are added will be at that size.
