Exporting Timeline Markers to EDL
This command lets you export a quick report listing the text of all markers that have been
added to the Timeline as notes in an EDL. Clip markers are ignored. This report is in EDL format,
with one event for each Timeline marker, with a placeholder reel number (001 by default), and
source and record timecodes that correspond to each marker’s position in the Timeline (with a
duration of one frame). An EDL note for each event lists the Marker note, if there is one. There is
no note available for the color of the markers
Here’s an example of an exported Timeline Marker EDL:

Exporting and Importing
Media Pool Metadata
DaVinci Resolve makes it possible to export metadata from the Media Pool of one project for
import into the clips of another project, for instances where you need to move metadata
around. This process exports all metadata from the Media Pool as a .csv file.
For example, a DIT might have entered a lot of metadata to the DaVinci Resolve project used
for generating dailies, but then an impatient editor might have created a separate project to
begin editing those dailies. Instead of requiring the editor to enter each clip’s metadata all over
again, you can export the metadata from the DIT’s project and import it into the editor’s new
project, automatically matching the relevant metadata to each corresponding clip.
To export Media Pool metadata:
1 Open a project containing Media Pool metadata you want to export.
2 Optionally, select which clips in the Media Pool you want to export metadata for.
3 Choose File > Export Metadata From > Media Pool to export metadata from every clip
in the Media Pool, or choose File > Export Metadata From > Selected Clips to only
export metadata from clips you selected in step 2.
4 When the Export Metadata dialog appears, enter a name and choose a location for the
file to be written, then click Save. All metadata is exported into a .csv file that can be
viewed and/or edited in any spreadsheet application.
