Resolve 18.1.1 Reference Wipe Mode

[Matthew Blacklock]

Hi All,

I recently jumped on the upgrade to Resolve 18.1 to get the new features and performance improvements on my M1 Max machine. 

One thing that has changed, which I find really annoying, is when you enable the wipe in the viewer on the color page, it only seems to give you the option of loading saved stills into the wipe. In previous versions I would often right-click in the viewer and change the Reference Wipe Mode from Gallery to Offline so I could quickly compare my grade to the offline reference (or sometimes I'd load a previous render to compare with). Since upgrading to 18.1 I can't find a way to change the Reference Wipe Mode. Is this something that has gone away completely now? Or is it just hiding somewhere obscure that I've just not found yet?

Any insights would be really helpful!

Cheers,

Matthew

Resolved! Was discussing with another colourist and realized this got moved to the ••• menu in the top right of the viewer on the colour page

Note you can assign a keyboard shortcut to Reference Wipe mode -> Gallery still, or Reference Wipe mode -> Offline video. Very easy to do. There are also dedicated buttons for this (for sure on the Advanced Panels).

Ah good shout Marc! I'll definitely take a look and assign a key to that, I'm always switching between modes as I work through a grade
