DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel - Trackball and Ring Reset Controls

Trackball and Ring Reset Controls
Each trackball’s reset controls are protected by having to press SHIFT UP to use them. This may
feel like an extra step at first, but now that this top row of keys is also used to quickly switch
among different palettes on the Color page, using SHIFT UP protects you from accidentally
pressing a reset when you meant to switch to another palette. If you’re used to the prior layout,
this will take a bit if getting used to, but it isn’t so bad once you’ve built up the muscle memory.
Reset controls above each trackball when pressing SHIFT UP
RGB: Resets red, green, and blue
channel adjustments while leaving master
level (luminance or Y) adjustments alone.
All: Resets both RGB channel and
master level adjustments.
Level: Resets master level adjustments
while maintaining the differential between
the RGB channels (aka color balance).
Navigation controls above each trackball (primary and SHIFT DOWN functions)
One of the biggest departures from the previous layout is the introduction of palette switching
functions on the top row of fixed keys. This makes it faster to switch among different sets of
controls as you work, and frees up additional buttons on the T‑bar panel to do other things,
adding to the utility of the DaVinci Resolve Advanced panel.
The first nine fixed keys above the trackballs work
together to provide palette and mode switching.
