  • forcing primaries and secondaries tab groups to merge – Resolve 9

    Posted by Danny Thompson on May 7, 2014 at 4:41 pm

    When I open up Resolve 9 on my MBP with a 1440×900 screen it combines the primaries and secondaries into a single palette, so that color wheels, curves, windows etc are all part of the same tab group. Resolve is actually halfway usable in this mode.

    When I open Resolve on a system with a 1600×1200 or 1680×1050 monitor, it does not merge them, which comes at the expense of making the keyframe timeline extremely narrow – about 100px wide.

    Is there any way to modify the config files of Resolve to use the 1440×900 window layout on 1600×1200?

    There is a selector on Resolve v10 to make the keyframe window wider.. I can’t remember on v9.. that’s a year old… .. its at the bottom LHS of keyframe window.

    The little << button on the lower left of the Keyframe window can be used to temporarily expand this window, but it shoves aside the Primary color window. I think the answer is, the screen is optimized for a given display resolution and you can't do it any smaller. Mine is always in 1920x1200 and it works fine. This is a good reason why Resolve does not generally work well on 13" or 15" displays (IMHO).
