Organizing Media by Creating Subclips
Subclips give you another way of organizing media in the Media Pool, letting you break excessively
long clips into shorter ones. For example, if the director of a project is fond of “rolling takes” where
multiple takes are all recorded within a single clip, you can break these takes up by making them
into subclips.
To create a subclip in the Edit page:
1 Do one of the following to open a clip into the Source Viewer in either the Media page or the Edit
page, in preparation for creating subclips.
– Double-click any clip in the Media Pool.
– Single-click any clip in the Media Library of the Media page to create a subclip without needing
to first import that clip into the Media Pool.
2 Set In and Out points in the Source Viewer to define the section you want to turn into a subclip.
3 Do one of the following:
– Choose Mark > Create Subclip.
– Press Option-B.
– Right-click the jog bar and choose Create Subclip from the contextual menu.
– Drag a clip from the Source Viewer to the Media Pool.
4 A new subclip dialog appears, allowing you to name the subclip and decide to use its full extents
by turning on the checkbox.
The New SubClip dialog
Once created, subclips appear and work like any other clip in DaVinci Resolve. You can also create
subclips in the Media page while performing other organizational tasks there.
Removing or Changing Subclip Limits
Once created, you can right-click any subclip in the Media Pool or a timeline and choose Edit Subclip
to open a dialog in which you can turn on a checkbox to use the subclip’s full extents, or to change the
start or end timecode of the subclip via timecode fields, before clicking Update to modify the subclip.
