![]() I hate that and I don't understand how to work with it in the timeline. Vit Reiter wrote:Do you mean Playhead snapping with the mouse cursor like in Final Cut Pro X? This could absolutely be coupled with or made complementary to a dynamic playhead position on click (the hotkey fixes that people have built and mentioned in this thread).You can also fix this behavior with timeline>zoom in to mouse cursor The minute I zoom back in, I'm back at the playhead instead of where I REALLY wanted to zoom to. I find myself doing this in DaVinci Resolve all the time - I moved my playhead to the end of a long timeline, but then I back out with the zoom to find another part of the timeline on which to work.

This behavior does not require the user to change the tool either. In Photoshop or Affinity Designer, you can use the scroll wheel zoom mechanism to move around the entire composition without having to be locked onto a particular layer or portion of the composition. I would go further and say tie the Command + Scroll Wheel zoom should also be considered as part of such an improvement to the UI. +1 on this idea, and if I get brave enough, I may try and install one of these bindings. long name: Auto Locate Play Position to Object Start on Object Click(). the short name would be something like 'Play-Locate'. ![]() Or just a custom shortcut so the users who need this can activate it, and others who don't will never know it's there. Maybe an icon in the transport area where you could see when it's enabled. so, for 'Auto Locate Play Position to Object Start' - it would need to be easily switched on & off. a shortcut key is fine, it should most definitely be a toggle as many users have pointed out- this behavior is for locating and auditioning purposes, not for when doing micro-editing as that would mess up trying to do other selections where the playhead needs to stay put. so - Blackmagic if you're listening, *please* add this. This is where i don't want to be clicking in the timeline all day. just press the up/down arrows and wella! the playhead auto-locates to the object start! but - only in consecutive/adjacent clips - not random access like when you're trying to quickly nav to a different part of the project. I see that Blackmagic indeed already has the code to auto-locate the playhead. if you need to find something quickly this is the only way, who wants to click in the timeline 4000 times a day! not me! let computers do what they do best. ![]() This is such an ingrained workflow to me now i forgot how useful that is - until i tried Davinci! especially once you get into bigger projects with many clips and edits. +1000 here i actually reinstalled PowerDirector again to see what the default behavior is, for sure when you click on a clip the playhead will 'auto-locate' to the object start. Let me know if you are interested in this and I will try to make it available on GitHub in the coming weeks. I would obviously still prefer this to be actually implemented, but long and behold, there are solutions now for Windows and for macOS. This idea was heavily dependent on something I already was doing with Premiere Pro for the past year or so, but there I did not have to "locate the time bar" and instead was just able to call the "Move Playhead to Cursor" keyboard shortcut. Alternatively, I can press "s" as a keyboard shortcut to make the playhead jump to the mouse pointer.Once the position is determined, you can click into any empty areas of the timeline and the mouse will jump into the time area to start dragging and then it already comes back to the starting position so you can simply move it left to right (I determine that the cursor is in the timeline by color matching).When you open or switch to Resolve, Hammerspoon runs a Node.JS script in the background which takes a screenshot and locates the Timeline View Options Icon (this is done on window activation rather than on click / keypress because at this time, this opencv script takes about 1 second to load).But it's already pretty good in terms of performance. This is far from perfect and I probably need to make it a bit more robust over the coming weeks as I use it myself. Davici-resolve-move-playhead-to-cursor.gif (819.75 KiB) Viewed 6695 times ![]()
