davinci resolve lite – edits to a node, showing in the node preview icons, but not being displayed in the larger viewing window
Davinci Resolve Lite, could someone explain to me how to get what is showing on the node preview icons, actually up on the viewer screen? eg. masks i have put around someones face, i can see it on the node preview icon, but not on the actually viewing window. the dots that make up the mask are not being displayed.
or, in the same way,
Why when i qualify with the magic wand, are the colours changing on the qualifying window, and in the node – greying out everything but the selected colour, but the grey and selected areas are not visible on the large viewing window?
Essentially, how do i get the large footage viewing window, to actually display the changes I am making on each node.
I thought if i just highlight the node, it should display what is going on in that node up on the larger viewing window.
it does in some sense – if there is a mask around the eyes on the highlighted node, any colour changes on the large viewing window only affect the masked eyes. but the actual dots of the mask are not there for me change?
hope this makes sense.

If I’m understanding what you want… there are four ways to get what you want:
1) in the qualifier window click the magic wand icon to enable mask highlighting
2) from the menu – ‘View > Highlight > Highlight’
3) keyboard shortcut Shift+h
4) From the BMD Resolve Panels, press the highlight button on the T-bar Panel (in the cluster under the t-bar), or from the contextual buttons rows when in ‘Vector’ mode.
BTW, these are all well described in the excellent user manual downloadable at BMDs website.

The “Magic Wand” icon is not the same sampling tool as the one in Photoshop — in Resolve, it is the “Highlight” toggle, which reveals the qualified area that you select with the Eyedropper in the preview pane.
On visibility: There is an option in the “View” dropdown… Window Outline… OFF/ON/Only UI which determines the Power Window extents overlaid on the preview/output monitors. Personally, I like Only UI so I can see what I’m doing but not have that annoying thing on the grade monitor.
The wand is really the “solo” mode as Alexis describes it for getting a handle on what each node might be contributing to the overall correction.

How would I select everything but the object I am selecting in a 2nd node?

I would add a fifth method with the Resolve Mini panel: hit the Tracker button and then the Window button, and the window will come up every time.I have a macro key on a side panel that basically just hits option-H to bring up the window in any mode, but it does three thing: a) goes to Color page, b) brings up Power Window panel, and c) then hits View -> Window On. Viewing the Window has always been flakey, but for some reason Show Highlight always works.
