Bug Fixes / Workflow Feature Requests... DaVinci Resolve 10

[Justin Quinn]

I'm loving DaVinci Resolve 10... Great job BMD! I have one issue that may be a bug and the other are feature requests...


1. Node Tree Memory: Actually, this might just be a bug... When I shut down and restart Resolve, all the nodes in the node tree are scattered and unorganized. This eats up a lot of time finding which node to adjust and putting everything back into it's right place.


2. Collapsable/Hide mini-timeline: I don't use the mini-timeline often. It'd be great if I could collapse it or hide it so as to create more real estate for other GUI elements, and bring it back when needed.


3. Show Matte on GUI only: It'd be really helpful to me if I could hide the grey/high contrast mattes from video out when pulling keys. I find that this only distracts clients and gets them asking unnecessary questions. Also, it creates bright flashes back and forth when switching which hurts my eyes.


Thanks for everything and keep up the great work!

These are really smart suggestions I would second!

Absolutely agree about the collapsible mini-timeline. In fact, correct me if I'm wrong, but I have some dim memory of this being possible a few versions ago? 8 maybe? Anyway, for single monitor setups this would be really freaking useful.

My response (with no hostility, peace and love, peace and love) is to get used to it. I've been pulling high-con keys for 15 years and I don't even blink now. Not a big deal. There are far more important issues than this.

I think you misunderstood my point... It's for the client monitor. I do not want my client monitor to have the matte displayed.

But yeah, it's a lot larger than my monitor so to have so much flashing going on hurts my eyes. I'd just prefer to have it only on my grading monitor.

I mean, power windows has GUI only option, so why not mattes?
