Want to learn how to edit with the Cut Page?
This section in DaVinci Resolve lets you do a lot of editing functions very quickly.
When using it, you have the ability to view a zoomed and full timeline at the same time, review all your media in source tape view, and much more.
There’s a lot of crossover with the edit page, but it’s a different way of thinking about your timeline… that can be useful for certain projects.
I find it helpful for reordering clips and quickly changing a duplicated timeline to another aspect ratio. But this video goes into much more depth about how to get the most out of the cut page.
