This channel is so underrated. The information is always presented in such an easy to understand and concise way. Thank you for putting in the effort to make these videos as great as they are!
Finally, someone that teaches at a pace I can follow. I normally have to change the speed to watch videos so this was really helpful and clear. Thank you!
This was really helpful! I've been organizing my media in bins on the harddrive before importing it to resolve which have worked well with my small projects but this is a way better method no matter project size. Will apply it from now on, thanks for great tutorials!
Thanks again for another great video. I have a request. You mentioned the topic of MultiCam. Can you either suggest a good how-to presentation or create one, please? I have used multicam tools a few times but feel as if I lack a good understanding on how to set it up. Kind regards
Hello Doug, creating multi cams will feature in our course we're working on. In the meantime @CaseyFaris is great. Check out his video here: th-cam.com/video/VZUDWIJ5xzo/w-d-xo.htmlsi=m9BnGiovVcxZn-9w
I think the reason you can make the filesystem structure and the bin-structure vary from each other is to facilitate a situation where the files on disk are produced by one person/team, but the editor wants a different structure for their work. If the same person is doing both, you can certainly make them the same. In my projects, the file system is typically temporal/chronological and contains dates for when things were done. My bin-organization, however, is more a reflection of the state of clips: have they been reviewed? Have they been cut into subclips? What are the selects? Have they been tagged with keywords? And so on.
Yes that’s true that an editor might appreciate a different bin structure. Don’t forget though that selects, processed clips, etc can always be marked and organised dynamically with metadata and smart bins. It has the advantage of media existing in multiple places simultaneously. Thanks for watching and commenting.
This is one of my favourite channel for learning Da Vinci ... One question ... Is there a way to organise the keyword smart bin into folders? The list of keywords in a big project can become very long... and it would convenient to be able to create folders like in FCPX.
Ah man! That would be awesome. No I don’t think can organise smart bins the way you are describing. That would be a great feature request. Thanks for watching
Brilliant as always. May I ask hat is you name by the way? And how do we make smart bins for different cameras . When I do it it always is less intuitive then what I think. Can you help please? Cheers Jens
Hello Jens, that’s a good question about creating smart bins for different cameras. Not every camera puts metadata in the file that specifically names the camera, but it’s possible sometimes based on the way that the camera names it’s files and other things like resolution and codec. Maybe we’ll make a video on it. Thanks for watching. Natalie.
Hello! That’s great but I wonder if there’s anyway to assign key words to clips that were cut in timeline. For instance: I have a big clip of, let’s say, 20 minutes. There’s a bunch of themes on this clip, and in timeline I cut it in 10 different segments, can I assign different keywords to these particular segments of the same clip?
If you select the clip, hit F it will load it into the source viewer. From there you can turn those in and out points into a marker and assign a keyword to that marker. It's a little long winded, but it is VERY possible.
Hi Great presentation and easy to follow, not rushed! i have a question if i may, why cant i find a save button at the bottom of the Metadata page as this young lady shows, i would like to enter the date recorded, i have auto save on but still no joy?
The save button is only visible when you editing the metadata of multiple clips at the same time. If you are only editing a single clip there is no save button and your metadata is automatically saved to the clip in your media pool. Hope that helps. Thanks for watching.
@@team2films Hi again , followed your instructions, brought them into bins filled in date recorded ,which is whats important to me ,but when i check this morning all that info is missing, i thought by not moving the clips out of DaVinci 18 would preserve that but no!
Your videos are really pretty good and educative. Why do you not cover Fusion too which is pretty complicated. Anyhow thanks for posting such great educative videos
We do fusion content too. We have a video on planar tracking screen replacement. There will be more Fusion videos on the channel in the future. Thanks for watching.
Thanks for a concise and to-the-point video. Just to clarify: the keywords discussed in this video exist in a DaVinci project, and the metadata of the original file is not affected, right? So the "keywording" happens only after you've created a project. Is there a way to use keywords from a footage file metadata?
Hey, used this functionality yesterday for the first time and didn’t realize that it would post a comment. Let me be a bit more specific: I am not only searching for possible workflows/tricks but for best practices that actually make my life easier. In that search I often have doubts: hey, this is a lot of work. Is there a better way or is it worth it? Am I overcomplicating my life? So mentioning that for simplicity, one may not want to have bins very different from the folder structure etc make a big difference to me.
What's confusing is the Media Page still "views" multiple clips (after applying Detect Scene Cuts in Edit Page) as basically clones of the source video, so essentially a 5 second clip is still a 2 hour movie to the Media Page! When I view a clip as a vid thumbnail in the Media Page, I want to see just that scene cut, not scroll thru the entire source film footage again! Can this be fixed by applying something to multiple clips at once? Thanks. New Sub!
Hello, that's a good question. That's because those clips are created as subclips with full extents (not limited to the in and out points). You can convert them to subclips without full extents. You might be better using one of the other methods for performing scene cuts. I.e. doing it at import. Does that help?
Psst... @2:26 "Alt on Windows" should be "Alt on PC". Given how well Resolve works in Linux, more and more of us are moving away from Microsoft and into freedom. Show us some love. We are becoming a force to reckon with.
That's a good point. Will try and work that into future videos. Sending much love to all the Linux Resolve users out there! Thanks for watching and commenting.
@@team2films You know, I really do not enjoy logging. But, this video made me realize that my inherent laziness would be more than compensated for by spending those extra few seconds to do this simple little thing. So I did, and overnight, my work load has been cut in half. So, thank you. Both your presenters are very motivating. Kudos.
@@21stcenturybohemian Ah wow! We are glad the video has been so helpful. Thanks so much for watching and sharing. We'll try and make more content on logging.
your content is good but try to speak more fast. the way you speak in 2023 (attention span of humans and goldfish is same ) is not gonna work out. sorry but that's the truth.
Nice video. Ive been shooting some stock and wondering about keywording. Now do theys keys work acrouss multiple projects? Should I have a master project, Can I export to XLS? Can I keep some safe backup in the cloud (happy to drag and drop a DRP .. it doesnt need to be live) In five years would I be pleased or lost to do my keywording in resolve. Often my maerial might be offline, but finding 'blue mazda' is in (offline) 32/2023_07_05/card01 would still be excellent? Would resolve remember a (low store space proxy.. even better)
Hmmm, that's a good question. Resolve is an NLE, not a MAM (Media Asset Management) system, therefore its toolset revolves around projects and edits, rather than the media. It cannot save metadata back to the media, however you can export a CSV of your metadata for import back into Resolve or other programs. This might satisfy your XLS question? There are some features that might help you. For example Power Smart Bins. It's also possible for Resolve to read metadata set in the camera and to parse metadata from file names. Another insight, any color tags that are set and defined in the Finder on a macOS can automatically be imported as keywords. Just turn the setting on in User Preferences. If you're looking for a comprehensive system for management stock assets, there are dedicated programs that will do a better job. I hope that's helpful. Please ask if you have further questions.
Yes! Turn the in and out points into a duration marker and assign a keyword. It's an awesome feature that's unique to DaVinci Resolve. We've got a lesson on this in an upcoming course.
@@team2films gah okay I did this, but for whatever reason you can’t hover scrub the clips when doing this! lol I feel like everything is so close, but just has something lacking. I have resorted to creating sub clips of the in and out using “option+B”, and then using a quick key shortcut to add a keyword.
@@livingforhim Yes that's true. Live Media Preview doesn't work on duration markers. It's worth mentioning this in the Resolve forums. Blackmagic is very open to community feedback.

Perfect teaching - no gimmicks - love it! More please
Ah thank-you so much. That’s our goal. More on their way!
Again, you saved me so much time. I had a general idea but didn't know how to apply Keywords to multiple files. Thanks.
Our pleasure. So pleased it's proved helpful!

this is great. best video I've found on the subject so far. thank you!
Thanks so much Evan. Great to have you here.
Very good intro to Smart Bins. Thank you! It might have been good to spend 20 seconds talking about creating bins in the media pool.
Waiting eagerly for more and more videos. Thank you
Thanks so much. New video just released!
This is great. I have been looking for ways to best organize footage for documentaries. This is so helpful. Thanks.
You're very welcome! Enjoy your work!
This is unbelievably useful! Thank you!
You're welcome! Thanks for watching.
You guys do the absolute best tutorials! Does this metadata transfer across projects?
Thanks so much! It can be transferred between projects by exporting bins/timelines or by placing clips in power bins. Does that help?
So clear and concise. Thank you!
You're very welcome! Glad it was helpful.
A big thank you for posting this. Liked and subscribed!

Yes you can. They are called duration markers. We have lessons on that in our full course. They are an awesome alternative to subclips.

is any way to always select "all bins"? also for the effect tab, is there any way to select "all folders"?

Is there a way to cut a long clip without it being in the timeline? Like a shortened virtual copy?
Yes, it's possible to do that with sub clips or duration markers. We prefer duration markers.
I am hoping Davinci will enable keyword smart bins in the cutpage
I understand where you are coming from.
Is the metadata copied when you copy a clip or bin from one to another project within DaVinci Resolve?
Yes! When a clip that contains keyword metadata is copied into another project, that metadata comes along too! :-) How great is that?
