DaVinci Resolve comes with a suggested set of built in keywords, but by using the Keyword Dictionary, you can add a new set of keywords or delete previously entered keywords that no longer are applicable to your project.



The Keyword Dictionary presents a list of all currently suggested and assigned keywords, a search field, and the ability to add your own keywords to the list.

Any keyword that you add will be added to both the Project and User keyword dictionaries.

— To switch between Keyword Dictionaries, select Project or User from the menu on the toolbar.

The Keyword Dictionary


The User Dictionary

The User Dictionary shows keywords that will be remembered and suggested for autocomplete across all projects in this library. The User Dictionary is always based on the last inputs entered.

The Project Dictionary

The Project Dictionary shows keywords that will be remembered and suggested for autocomplete for only this project.

You can also Import and Export keywords in .txt format into and out of the Project Dictionary. This lets you prepare a list of custom keywords in any text editor and import them all at once into the Keyword Dictionary.


To Import a .txt File into the Keyword Dictionary:

1 Create a plain text file (.txt) of your keywords, either one word per line or as comma- separated values.

2 In the Keyword Dictionary Option Menu (three dots), select Import Project Dictionary.

3 Navigate to your .txt file in the file browser and press Open.

You can also export any custom keywords in the Keyword Dictionary to a plain text file (.txt) of your keywords, one word per line.


To Export a .txt File from the Keyword Dictionary:

1 In the Keyword Dictionary Option Menu (three dots), select Export Project Dictionary.

2 Navigate to where to want your .txt file to be saved in the file browser and press Save. You can add your own keywords, one at a time as needed, to the Keyword Dictionary.
