Adding Tracking Points
in Interactive Mode
The DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel has a full set of tracking controls. However, there’s
also the ability to manually add tracking points one by one while in Interactive Object
Tracking mode.
To add a single tracking point:
1 Select a window you want to track.
2 Press SHIFT DOWN and ALL/WINDOW/TRACKER.
3 Press the INTERACTIVE soft key.
4 Using the DaVinci Resolve Advanced Panel, press the CURSOR button above the fourth
trackball of the Center panel, and move the onscreen cursor to the detail of the image that
you want to add a tracking point to.
5 Click the SET TRACK POINT soft key, within the Interactive mode controls of the Tracker palette.
This adds a tracking point corresponding to the feature of the image that you clicked, and
you’re ready to start tracking.
Copying Grades Using
the Advanced Panel
There are a number of procedures for copying grades that have specific implementations on
the Advanced Panel.
Copy Forward Keys
The simplest way of copying grades using the control panel is to use the comma and colon keys
on the keypad of the Search Dial panel, or the –1 and –2 SHIFT UP functions on the memory
keys area of the Search Dial panel, to copy grades from one or two clips behind the currently
selected clip. This is a great way to copy grades in scenes with a shot‑reverse‑shot structure,
where you’re cutting between two angles of coverage, each of which uses the same grade.
To copy a grade from one clip back: Press the Comma (,) or –1 buttons.
To copy a grade from two clips back: Press Colon (:) or –2 buttons.
Scroll
Scroll mode lets you quickly preview how different grades on a variety of other clips in the
Timeline would look on the currently selected clip. As you preview the grade of each other clip,
you have the option to either accept or reject the previewed grade to which you’ve “scrolled.”
Accepted grades (EXIT AS IS) overwrite the previous grade of the current clip, while rejecting
the scrolled grade (EXIT AS WAS) cancels the entire operation.
Scroll mode can be useful for checking to see if any of the previous grades you’ve created in a
scene will work for the currently selected clip.
