You may want to check your Auto select button: my guess for that particular track, this button is off. (see p523 & 584 of the manual v16)
Also remember if you select clip in your timeline, the Auto selector will be overridden.

I would have loved to at least have a shortcut for the clip>Replace With Media Clip
Keyboard customization is your friend… it is located under the DaVinci Resolve menu in the menu bar… it should make things a little faster…?

I believe the fastest way to replace a clip in your timeline with a clip from your media pool, is to use the the Conform Lock with media pool clip function. If the clip is the same length (same IN and OUT than the clip in your timeline), your TC does not matter.
In the EDIT page, select the new clip in the Media pool panel.
In your timeline, CTRL+mouse click on the clip that needs to be replaced, and select in the local pop up menu Conform Lock with media pool clip.
Now the clip in the timeline should be replaced with the clip in the media pool.

Look at page #2873 in the DaVinci Resolve Reference Manual from August 2020 (v16)… it will explain in details how to use the Key palette, and the Key output control in particular…

Yes I would use keyframes… and use the KEY function and select Key Output and select a gain of 0 to turn off your grade on that particular clip.

Using more than one timeline can be useful for many different workflows.
As you move thru your editing work, it is a good idea to keep track of your work by creating/duplicating your current timeline. It allows you to go back quickly to a previous complex editing you may have done. I use it also as a quick backup so that I can come back to a previous state of my editing.
Depending on your project, you may want to start editing different timelines because your finished editing will be a long form. Splitting your editing allows you to focus on one sequence at a time until you decide to merge all your timelines in a master timeline.
A new feature with version 16 is to be able to have more than one timeline showing at the same time on your display. It allows you to compare 2 timelines. You can also copy and paste sequences from one timeline to the other more quickly. Again it is a welcome feature and allow you to think about different ways to work.
I hope this help

You may want to start a new thread for this question.
They are many ways to share a project in Resolve. It also depends which version of Resolve you are running.
You can export a project from the Project Manager panel (.drp file), but you need to have already a copy of your media on the other system you are sharing with.
You can archive a project, which essentially export your Resolve project + the associated media
You could also move a database to an external drive, and disconnect/reconnect that database as you move from system to system
Finally with Resolve 17, you could export just a timeline from your project (.drt file) and reload that timeline from your other system.
Checkout Chapter 2 (p95 for the version 16) of the DaVinci Resolve Reference Manual

Have you checked your preference settings for your sound input? Under Resolve Preference?

If you’d like some help, I think you need to give us more information…
Depending on the frame resolution and output format (codec), you might need a well tune computer system in order to play a clip @ 50fps real time… it all depends… but it could also be a mismatch of frame rates between your original footage, your timeline settings and your delivery file…

Other than using blending mode or keying, I don’t think you can define the alpha for a timeline or compound clip. I agree it would be a nice feature.
I believe your other option is to work in Fusion for whatever compositing you’d like to do… but as you certainly already know, it is a node based approach compared to After Effects… different strengths…
