The Edit Page is where you manipulate your clips, edit them, and turn them into one cohesive piece. The editing capabilities of DaVinci Resolve really have improved a lot since it was introduced a few years ago. Today, it contains nearly every editorial tool you need. The Edit page is divided into three sections: The Media Pool to browse all your files, the Viewers to preview your media, and the Timeline to trim and edit your clips. All of these work together so that you can create your next cinematic masterpiece fast and easy.
There are tons of features in DaVinci Resolve, but what I like best is the Trim Edit mode, because it lessens the keyboard shortcuts you need to memorize, especially when you’re new to the software. For example, if you’re in the selection mode, using the period or the comma key allows you to nudge your clip one frame at a time or trim either your heads and tails one frame at a time. When you switch to the Trim Edit mode, those same two keys change functionality depending on where you place your cursor. Put it on top of a clip and it becomes a slip tool; put it on the lower part, and it becomes a slide tool. Selecting either the head or tail of a clip allows you to do a ripple edit. With other NLEs, this would be a different keyboard shortcut for every command.
Another feature that I like is the Zoomed Audio Waveform feature. DaVinci Resolve allows you to view the embedded audio of your clip overlaid on the Source Viewer. It’s a simple feature, but it helps a lot, especially when you’re working on clips that have dialogues on them, because you can add in and out points to a clip more accurately when you can see the audio waveform.
