As with everywhere else it appears in DaVinci Resolve, the Media Pool lets you organize and peruse all of the media and timelines in a project. DaVinci Resolve projects may contain one or more edited timelines (sometimes called a sequence in other applications).
The Media Pool in the Edit page is identical to that shown on the Media, Fusion, Color, and Fairlight pages, and shows you all of the source clips and timelines that are available for editing. A Bin list at the left shows a hierarchical list of folders that you can use to organize your media.
By default, the Media Pool has a single bin, named “Master,” but you can add more bins as necessary to organize your clips, opening any of them to expose their contents with a single click. The Bin list can be hidden or shown via the button at the upper-left of the Media Pool. A browser to the right shows the contents of the currently selected bin.

Effects Library Browsing
The Effects Library contains a folder with the different Video Transitions, Title Effects, Generators, and Filters that are available for editing in the Timeline. The Effects Library has two panels, a Toolbox panel that contains the default Transitions, Titles, and Generators that Resolve comes with, and an OpenFX panel that contains any OpenFX transitions and generators you might have installed on your system.
Edit Index
Clicking the Index button opens the Edit Index. By default, this shows an EDL-style list view of all the edit events in the current timeline. Whichever timeline is selected in the Timeline list displays its events here; each clip and transition is shown as an individual event, each of which contains multiple columns of information. If you re-edit a timeline, your changes are automatically reflected in this list.
