For more information on the Cut page, see the ‘The Cut Page’ chapter in the
DaVinci Resolve manual.
Media Tabs
At the top left corner of the user interface you will see five tabs.
Click on these tabs to open the media toolsets you will use when creating your edit.
For example, the first tab is the media pool and you can see it is already selected. The other
tabs are for the sync bin, media transitions, titles and effects.
Media Pool: The media pool contains all your clips, folders and files you imported using
the media page. You can also import files directly from the cut page, so you don’t have
to go back to the media page if you want to import a new clip.
Sync Bin: This powerful feature automatically syncs all your clips via timecode, date
and time so you can choose angles from all cameras on a multi camera project.
Transitions: If you click on the neighboring transitions tab, you will see all the video and
audio transitions you can use in your edit. These include common transitions such as
cross dissolves and motion wipes.
Titles: Next to transitions is the ‘titles’ tab. Here you can select the title type you
want to use. For example a scroll, standard text or lower thirds title. There are also a
list of Fusion templates you can use for more animated dynamic titles which can be
customized in DaVinci Resolve’s ‘Fusion’ page.
Effects: The fifth tab is the ‘effects’ tab. This provides all the different filters and effects
you can use to bring more life to your edit, for example customizable blurs, glows and
lens effects. There are many powerful effects to choose from and you can find them
quickly using the search tool.
TIP Use the search tool near the media tab icons to find the exact items you are
looking for. For example, if you have the transitions tab selected, type “dissolve” in the
search tool and only dissolve transition types will be shown in the viewer, making it
quicker for you to find the dissolve transition you want.
Viewer Tabs
In the top left corner of the viewer window you will see the viewer mode buttons.
The viewer mode buttons
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.
