These buttons control which viewer is currently being used, including ‘source clip’, ‘source tape’,
and ‘timeline’. These viewer modes give you an enormous amount of control when selecting
clips for your edit and it’s worth spending a moment to look at how they work.
Source Clip The source clip viewer displays a single clip from the media pool
and you can set in and out points along the entire length of the
viewer timeline. This gives you greater control. Select a source clip
to view by double clicking on a clip in the media pool, or dragging
it into the viewer.
Source Tape Source tape lets you view all the source clips in the media pool.
This powerful feature is helpful if you want to quickly search
through all your clips to find a specific event. As you scrub the
playhead over the clips, you will see their thumbnails selected in
the media pool. This means once you have found the clip you want
to edit, you can click on the source clip tab and its corresponding
source clip will appear in the viewer automatically.
The source tape viewer really lets you take advantage of non-
linear editing, giving you the freedom to work on your edit, find
shots quickly, try new ideas and stay in the moment.
Timeline The timeline viewer lets you view the edit timeline so you can play
back your project and refine your edits.
Importing Clips to the Media Pool
Now you can start importing media into your project. You can do this in the media pool window
of the cut page using the import tools at the top.
Select one of the import options to add
media to your project
Import Media The import media option will import individual media files selected
from your storage location.
Import Media Folder To import a folder from your media storage, select the import
folder option. When importing a folder, DaVinci Resolve will keep
the file structure, treating each folder as a separate bin so you can
navigate between bins to find your videos and other media files.
To import media:
1 Click on the ‘import media’ or ‘import media folder’ icon.
2 Navigate to your media storage for the media you want to import.
3 Select the file or folder and click ‘open’.
Once you’ve added media to your project, it is a good time to save your changes. DaVinci
Resolve features a fast, on the go autosave called ‘live save’. Once you save you project once,
‘live save’ will save further changes as you make them, removing the risk of losing your work.
For more information on ‘live save’ and other auto save functions, refer to the DaVinci
Resolve Manual.
