User Manual

The available columns in List view include:
File Name: The name of the file on disk that clip is linked to.
Clip Name: Editing the Clip Name lets you change the name with which clips appear throughout
DaVinci Resolve when View > Use Clip Name for Clip Titles is enabled. By default, the clip name
mirrors the source clip’s file name. When editing the clip name in the List view of the Media Pool,
you can use “metadata variables” that you can add as graphical tags that let you reference clip
metadata. For example, you could add the corresponding metadata variable tags
%scene_%shot_%take and that clip would display “12_A_3” as its name if “scene 12,” “shot A,”
“take 3” were its metadata. The clip name can also be edited in the Clip Attributes window. For
more information on the use of variables, as well as a list of all variables that are available in
DaVinci Resolve, see Chapter 167, “Using Variables and Keywords.”
