    What’s the best way to grade cutbacks (dialogue) on Resolve for Mac (using the Wave)? As far as I can tell, it’s back two frames, Option-1, forward two frames, Cmd-1, etc… I heard maybe the Linux version uses the semi-colon and apostrophe key?

    On the Nucoda, this is incredibly fast and easy. One selects -1 or -2, then just hit the Recall button when one gets to the shot one needs to match. Another button brings up a still of the shot two back, with no need to ever manually grab a still. Grading can even be done on the fly.

    Is this a feature that is full panel only maybe?

    Personally I am not a big fan of the Trim function. I bought the Logitech G13 and built me a mapping with 7 predefined memory save and load keys.
    Also next and previous scene around play and advance so it became my master controll for navigation and memories . In dialogs scenes you probably have Camera A , Camera B closeup and Camera C total .
    So I just grade the ones I need, save the memories and then go next,A,next,B,next,A,next,C and so on.

    Try the “nucoda” function -1 -2 but hit prvw.
    to recall the grade. In fact use any number. The shot number works as does +numbers,
    BTW, the DaVinci classic back in 1987 was first to have this handy function.

    Cheers

    So how do I save and recall a memory in slot “A”? I can do Opt-1, Cmd-1, but if I hit “A” to recall, it brings up the “Clear Tracking” window. And what about slot “I”? (memory saves only work up to Opt-8)

    When I hit “-” on the Mac keyboard, it zooms out on the GUI picture?!

    On regular keyboard you have 8 “slots” on big panel you have more.

    But for 2 cams and maybe 4 sizes in shots why do you need more ?

    For me it is really fast with opposite shots.

    Cmd-Opt-G to create a still

    Middle Click on a saved still… applies the grade automatically.

    Found this out by accident.

    OK, first of all why do I have to press Cmd-6 to bring up memory F? Shouldn’t I be able to just press “F”?

    What I really want is a way to call back any grade on the timeline (at least the visible part) without first loading it in a memory or a still – and if it’s one or two shots away, without using the mouse!

    Thanks so much everyone…

    So I found out that middle clicking on any shot in the timeline instantly copies the grade to the current shot!

    I still want to copy the grade from one or two shots back without using the mouse…
