FCPX's roles are very powerful, and Resolve is starting to add more of those features over time. It would be great to see more procedurally based editing paradigms like tagged media auto sorting and faster methods for scaling timeline tracks up and down. Loved seeing your posts on the forums, keep them up! The Cut page could use so many improvements. I will mention there is a shortcut to enable the clip swap ripple mode like FCPX vs the default overwrite on the edit page. When you click to drag a clip and hold command + shift it will allow you swap clips when you click and drag them to the next edit point. Command + Shift + < or. > will also swap selected clips to the left or right respectively. The cut page does do this by default too, but you need to click and drag to the edit point and "ripple on" needs to be enabled. If you click and drag the middle of a clip it will overwrite, but dragging to the edit point, and the edit point turns blue and highlights it snaps it will ripple and swap like fcpx. FCPX and Resolve are different, just like FCPX is different than every other nle, where overwrite is by default on all NLE's vs FCPX default for being non destructive. Most NLE's and a lot of editors are used to dragging clips to overwrite others, even if that seems unintuitive, but its burned into most editors brains. Also look at the Audio Track Layers system, it operates in a very similar way from a UX/UI interface way to fcpx's clips getting out of the way. For the Source Monitor, Media Pool, Program and Inspector you can see all four with a higher resolution monitor. If on a macbook, just change the desktop resolution to a higher one and it will scale to allow for more panels. Having more clip metadata could be awesome. Its an extra button press, but hitting "x" on any clip will select that clips in and out points, so you can then read the duration in the program monitor.
Great suggestions! Many have been already made in the Resolve forum but it can only help to have more voices asking for these things. I’m betting when you dive in to the Edit Page you’ll have a similar list to bring it up to the level of FCP7. Or even Premiere for that matter.
Just give us a double play head that hovers throughout. We shouldn’t be forced to use the speed editor to smoothly scroll across the timeline rather than holding the play head exactly from the top of it in order to navigate. Also stop nuking clips once you retime a clip in selection mode. I always find myself zooming out and moving clips to an entirely different track just to make sure I don’t nuke clips next to it. Editing to audio is audibly not as good as Final Cut
Agreed. I did happen across one of Sam Kolder's videos and he apparently has a bunch of keyboard shortcuts that help speed up editing. The full list is behind a paywall which I haven't gotten around to paying yet. But with the examples he showed, it seemed really interesting. He wasn't trying to remap it to FCPX or Premiere but rather try and find the most efficient way to edit in Davinci. ruclips.net/video/BjLCw-TxwbI/видео.htmlsi=VuRvKa6N6qbepbff&t=358
@@origmedia9168 My understanding is that it's mostly just the ripple trim to end and start of playhead, and the split key. It's very simple, and all tools FCPX has. It works well on simple timelines, but without clip connections you have to do more manual work to ripple.

Wow, you really took the time to list out great features davinci should implement. You should definitely send them your feedback. Nice video.
