Rippling Changes Using
the Advanced Panel
DaVinci Resolve has a mechanism for rippling specific changes made to one clip to a range
of other clips in the Timeline. This is only possible using the controls of the DaVinci Resolve
Advanced Panel.
The general idea of the ripple function is that you select a clip, make a change to one or more
nodes in its grade, and then ripple that change to a range of other clips. This rippled change
can be applied to the same node in each clip, or the change can be applied as an appended
node within each rippled clip.
The following procedure describes in detail how you can use the control panel to ripple a
change to a range of other clips. While this procedure may appear complicated, it’s just that
there are several options. Once you learn the sequence of commands, this process is actually
quite fast.
Using the Ripple Mode soft key commands
1 (Optional) On the T‑Bar panel, press MODES, then in the soft menu of the Trackball panel
press RIPPLE MODES. Four selectable modes appear mapped to the soft keys of the
Trackball panel, which can be used later to execute different types of ripple operations.
Press the mode you want to use for rippling.
Ripple Static: (Exact values changed) Changes made to the current clip are rippled to the
specified clips using the exact parameters that were changed. For example, if Lift in the
current clip is changed to 0.75 of its range, each clip you ripple will have a Master Gain
setting of 0.75. Only parameters you adjust are rippled.
Ripple Relative: (Percent value changed) Changes made to the current clip are rippled
to the specified clips by the percentage of change you made to the altered parameters.
For example, if the current clip has a Lift level of 1.00 and is changed to 0.90 units, then
the Lift setting of each clip you ripple will have a relative reduction of 10% relative to its
previous value.
Ripple Absolute: (Unit value changed) Changes made to the current clip are rippled to
the specified clips by the same delta of change, using whichever units make sense for the
affected parameter. For example, if the current clip had a Lift of 0.80 and you increased it to
0.90, each rippled scene’s master gain level increases by 0.10.
Ripple Forced: (All values are copied) The current clip’s grade is rippled to the specified
clips in its entirety. No comparison is made with the original clip’s parameters, and all
memory parameters are rippled.
2 Move the playhead to the clip you want to adjust.
3 Adjust the grade of the current clip in the manner you want to ripple to other clips in
the Timeline.
