Toggle Source and Record side + proper track patching

+1
The ability to patch source tracks exactly to target tracks is an important feature in professional editing - and I don't understand the discussion about it at all. I want to be able to determine exactly which track ends up on which track - regardless of whether the source material is a timeline or a source clip with many audio channels.

Praying Blackmagic give a final knockout blow to AVID and put this feature into resolve 19.
I for one would switch straight over if I were able to edit with toggle source /record timelines.

Still missing in DR 19. Bummer. But yay for the trim editor and numeric keypad TC input!!

That's exactly it - for so many professional editors, this is the ONE VITAL THING that is misSing in DR. Resolve comes with so many bells and whistles that are just breathtaking but as long as this basic workflow is not possible.. most won't make the switch.

Blackmagic on the other hand introduced a whole compositing system and a very capable sound editor.

Compared to that implementing Avid's Source/Record with patching is piss easy. And it would, in my eyes, make Resolve the best editing program in the world (before you even consider its grading capabilities).

w0rd!
