- In my three-minute that was really a five-minute overview of the new, resolved user interface, I mentioned something about the Edit List and some new timeline filtering tools. Let's take a moment to take a closer look, because there are one or two that will be immensely useful for those of you working on really long projects - 30 minute, 60 minute, two hour projects, and if you're following along, I'm in in Timelines 01_10 (Timeline Filters) and I've reset the work space back to Default, so we're all back in the same place and I'm going to hide the Media Pool and I'm going to show the Edit Index.
And down at this ellipses pull-down is a variety of filters that allows to filter our timeline based on specific attributes in our timeline. Now, one thing to keep in mind is, whenever you're looking at the Edit Index, it allows you to jump to specific edit points. So I want to get to edit point 12, I just click here and my current timeline jumps to edit point 12. If I want to get back to edit point 2, I click, and it jumps me back to edit point 2. It's a way of getting direct access using a completely different UI.
So I'll go to this pull down, and I want to find every single clip that has a flag on it. So I'll click and select Show Flags. Now, it doesn't filter the actual timeline itself, it filters the Edit Index, but now by clicking on the shots that show up, these are the only shots in the timeline that have flags on them. Let's change the filter to show me Markers. One shot has a marker on it, I'll click on it, there it is. So if I had Markers only on shots that I needed to do revisions on, and I had a 30 minute timeline, this is a quick and easy way to make sure I hit every single shot that has a marker.
Here's the one that I really love, which is, Show Through Edits Only, I'll click on that, and now, any clip in this timeline that has a Through Edit What's a Through Edit? It's a Bladed Edit. If I come to this shot here, go to the Blade Mode, and just cut through, that's a Through Edit. What often happens to many of us when we're working with timelines that come from editors, they don't clear out these Through Edits, they leave them in, then it looks like two separate shots here in the Color Tab, So this shot suddenly looks like two shots, it's really one, and this just adds complications I don't need in my life.
So I can click on this Through Edit, and press delete, and it disappears, and now I can go through and very quickly delete every single Through Edit in my timeline, just one word of note, that there's a little bit of a bug here in Resolve, on these Through Edits, which is, for every Through Edits, you get two edits showing up in the timeline here. What's happening? Well, it's giving me this clip is a Through Edit. I click right here, that's a Through Edit. Well, what Resolve is doing, every time it sees a Through Edit I've got another one here, it's also putting me at the head of the shot at the beginning of the first shot of the Through Edit.
So you're seeing two edits for every one Through Edit and the Through Edit is always the second one, so here's the first edit, this is the Through Edit, I'll highlight it, delete. This is the first edit, the second one is the actual Through Edit, I'll highlight it, delete it, and I've now gotten rid of every single Through Edit in my timeline like that. (snaps)

2/2/2016In these tutorials, professional colorist Patrick Inhofer guides viewers through the basics of using DaVinci Resolve 12. Get a look over Patrick's shoulder as he touches on key features in Resolve, while introducing the lingo every colorist needs to understand the program and the workflow. He shows how to import footage, keep it all organized, edit clips in the timeline, and start color grading your project: applying primary and secondary corrections, vignettes, looks, and Power Windows. He also shows how to target corrections with shapes and keys, match shots, and create "hero shots" to jump-start discussions with directors, clients, and colleagues.
