— To sort bins: Right-click on any bin, and choose an option from the Sort By submenu. You can choose from Name, Date Created, Date Modified, and User Sort.
— To reorganize bins manually: Right-click anywhere within the Bin list, and choose Sort By
> User Sort. Then, drag bins up or down in the Bin list to put them into the order you want.
An orange dividing line shows where dragged bins will be placed when you drop them and helps you see when a bin you’re dragging will become nested within another bin or not. The User Sort order is saved even when you change to another sort order, and selecting User Sort again results in your custom sort order being recalled.
Import and Export DaVinci Resolve Project Bins (.drb)
You can import/export specific bins from one DaVinci Resolve project to another, allowing you to pass bins quickly between projects and workstations that have access to the same media. All Metadata, In/Out points, Timelines, etc. are transferred along with the clips in the bin, but none of the actual media files are included.
1 Select one or more bins in the Media Pool.
2 Right-click the selection and choose “Export Bin,” or choose File > Export > Export Bin.
3 Choose where to save the DaVinci Resolve Bin file (.drb) in the file system dialog, and click Save.
1 Right-click in the Media Pool and choose “Import Bin,” or choose File > Import > Import Bin.
2 Do one of the following:
— Choose a DaVinci Resolve Bin file (.drb) from the file system dialog.
— Double click the .drb file in your file system.
The bin or bins will appear in the Media Pool. Any bins imported this way will have the word “import” appended to their name, to avoid duplicate names. If you import a bin that contains clips that were already in the Media Pool, the potentially duplicate clips are excluded from the import and instead relinked to the media referenced by your project. This keeps your Media Pool tidy. However, if the bin or bins have been moved to another computer, you may have to relink offline media.
