User Manual

Table Of Contents
The browser area to the right shows the contents of the currently selected bin in the bin list.
Every clip you import, every timeline you create, and every AAF, XML, or EDL file you import
appears here. You can create or import as many timelines as you need within a single project.
As elsewhere, the Media Pool can be displayed in either Icon or List view. In List view, you can
sort the contents by any one of a subset of the total metadata that’s available in the Metadata
Editor of the Media page. Of particular interest to audio editors are columns for Name, Reel
Name, different timecode streams, Description, Comments, Keyword, Shot, Scene, Take, Angle,
Circled, Start KeyKode, Flags, and Usage.
For more information on using the myriad features of the Media Pool, see Chapter 11, “Adding
and Organizing Media with the Media Pool.” In the sections that follow, some key features of the
Media Pool are summarized for your convenience.
Importing Media Into the Media Pool on the Fairlight Page
While adding clips to the Media Pool in the Media page provides the most organizational
flexibility and features, if you find yourself in the Edit or Fairlight pages 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 Fairlight page 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 Fairlight page Media Pool:
1 With the Fairlight page open, 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.
For more information on importing media using the myriad features of the Media page, see
Chapter 11, “Adding and Organizing Media with the Media Pool.
Media Pool Preview Player
The Media Pool has a preview player at the top that provides a place to open selected source
clips in the Media Pool, play them, add marks to log them, and set In and Out points in
preparation for editing them into the Timeline via drag and drop. The Media Pool Preview Player
effectively acts as a Source monitor for editing in the Fairlight page.
