Adding Media to the Cut, Edit, Fusion, and Fairlight Pages

‌To add a folder of clips to the Media Pool with offset timecode:‌‌

1 Right-click a directory in the Media Storage panel, and choose one of the following commands:

— Add Folder with Source Offset

— Add Folder and SubFolders with Source Offset

2 Choose a number of frames with which to offset the timecode from the “Change Frame Offset” dialog, and click Apply.

The media is imported as clips with offset timecode in the Media Pool. However, the original source timecode of the clips on disk has not been altered. All media rendered out of the Deliver page will reflect the offset timecode.

Adding Media to the Cut, Edit, Fusion, and Fairlight Pages

While adding clips to the Media Pool in the Media page provides the most organizational flexibility and features, if you find yourself in the Cut, Edit, Fusion, or Fairlight page and you need to quickly import a few clips for immediate use, you can do so in a couple of different ways.

To add media by dragging one or more clips from the Finder to the Media Pool (macOS only):

1 Select one or more clips in the Finder.

2 Drag those clips into the Media Pool of DaVinci Resolve, or to a bin in the Bin list. Those clips are added to the Media Pool of your project.

To use the Import Media command in the Media Pool:

1 Right-click anywhere in the Media Pool, and choose Import Media.

2 Use the Import dialog to select one or more clips to import, and click Open. Those clips are added to the Media Pool of your project.

Removing Media From the Media Pool

If you’ve added clips to the Media Pool that you need to eliminate, this is easy to do, either singly, or in the aggregate.

To remove clips from the Media Pool, do one of the following:

— Select one or more clips in the Media Pool, then press the Delete or Backspace key.

— Select one or more clips in the Media Pool, right-click one of the selected clips, and then choose Remove Selected Clips.

— Right-click anywhere in the Media Pool, and choose Remove All Clips in Bin.

NOTE: If you’ve turned on “Automatically match master timeline with media pool” in the General Options panel of the Project Settings, you cannot remove all clips from the Media Pool if there are other timelines using that media.
