Enabled by default, the Live Media Preview setting found in the Viewer options menu (the three-dots menu found at the upper right-hand corner of the Viewer) makes it possible for thumbnails that you’re skimming in either the Media Storage browser or Media Pool to show the skimmed frame in the Viewer. When skimming with Live Media Preview enabled, the playhead that appears in the thumbnail is locked to the playhead displayed in the Viewer’s jog bar. You can turn Live Media Preview on or off.

Media Pool
The Media Pool is central to the DaVinci Resolve experience. It contains all of the media that you import into the current project, as well as all of the timelines you create. It also contains all media that’s automatically imported along with Projects, Timelines, or Compositions that have themselves been imported into DaVinci Resolve. In the Media page, enough room is given to the Media Pool to make it an ideal place to sort, sift through, and organize the clips in your project. However, the Media Pool is also mirrored in the Cut, Edit, Fusion, Color, and Fairlight pages, so you can access clips as you build timelines, composites, grades, and sound design.
