How to Scale UI Text for DaVinci Resolve

How to Change UI Text Size in DaVinci Resolve

If you found yourself having trouble reading the UI text in DaVinci Resolve, don’t worry you’re not alone. Currently Resolve does not have any settings available that allows you to change the font size of the UI. Rest assured because we do have a work around.

For Windows

  1. Go to settings and click on the “Display Tab”. Under “Scale and Layout”, change the size of text, app and other items. You can set this to 125%, 150% or whatever is comfortable for you. Changing this alone won’t change the size in Resolve unless we tweak something first.
