Manually created Smart Bins can be organized into Folders and Sub-Folders for better sidebar management, just like regular bins.
Smart Bins organized into folders
Right-click in the Smart Bins area and choose Add Folder from the contextual menu to create folders that you can drag Smart Bins into. Each folder has a disclosure triangle, so you can show or hide
its contents.
Another benefit of Folders is that when you select a Folder, you can see the full contents of all Smart Bins inside of it in the Media Pool browsing area. Selecting any one Smart Bin then restricts the Media Pool to showing only the media reference by that Smart Bin.
Folders can be renamed, removed, opened as a new window, or sorted along with all other Smart Bins by right-clicking them and using commands in the contextual menu.
Duplicating Clips in the Media Pool
You can duplicate clips in order to create an instance of that media that’s treated as a completely new source clip, entirely separate from the original instance of that clip that was imported into DaVinci Resolve. The duplicate is capable of storing individualized metadata and markers that are completely distinct from the original clip that was imported into your project.
1 Select one or more clips to duplicate.
2 Do one of the following:
— Choose Edit > Duplicate Clip
— Hold the Option key down while dragging one or more selected clips to another bin
— Right-click a clip in the Media Pool, and choose Duplicate Clip from the Contextual Menu
Adding Clips From the Timeline to the Media Pool
You can also drag one or more clips from the Timeline back into the Media Pool to create a duplicate.
As with duplicating clips in the Media Pool, each duplicate is created as a new source clip that’s entirely separate from the original instance of that clip that was imported into DaVinci Resolve and is capable of storing individualized metadata and markers that are completely distinct from the original clip that was imported into your project.
