P: Make all Edit sliders available to edit Video

I'm a photographer who sometimes shoots video. I have DaVinci Resolve for editing full video projects, but I would like to be able to perform basic edits on individual clips in the way we can with photos.

I know there are limited ways to do this right now using Capture Frame, but I want full Develop module support with the ability to adjust highlights & shadows, add noise reduction and sharpening, crop and transform (e.g. straightening vertical lines). Basically anything we can do with photos, we should be able to do with videos.

Yeah, wouldn't that be great. Unfortunately, it's not as easy as you seem to think. A photo is an individual image, videos are 24 (or 25, 30, 60) different images per second. And they are encoded in a special way, so that the video file does not really contain all those frames as full sized images, because that would create huge files. That makes it impossible to use certain editing methods that do work great on individual images.
