Creating Subclips
Subclips give you another way of organizing media in the Media Pool, letting you break
excessively long clips into shorter ones. For example, if the director of a project is fond of
“rolling takes” where multiple takes are all recorded within a single clip, you can break these
takes up by making them into subclips.
To create a subclip:
1 Select any clip in the Media Pool to open it into the Viewer.
2 Set In and Out points to define the section you want to turn into a subclip.
3 Do one of the following:
 Right-click the jog bar and choose Make Subclip.
 Drag a clip from the Viewer or Source Viewer into the Media Pool.
A new subclip appears in the Media Pool, automatically selected so that you can
immediately edit its metadata in the Metadata Editor.
Once created, subclips appear and work like any other clip in DaVinci Resolve.
Removing or Changing Subclip Limits
Once created, you can right-click any subclip in the Media Pool or a timeline and choose
Edit Subclip to open a dialog in which you can turn on a checkbox to use the subclip’s full
extents, or to change the start or end timecode of the subclip via timecode fields, before
clicking Update to modify the subclip.
