Color Science Quick Menu
This drop-down menu, to the right of the Project Settings drop-down, lets you choose whether
or not you want to stay with the default manually-managed color science of DaVinci YRGB, or
use a Color Management scheme such as DaVinci YRGB Color Managed or ACES. Color
management is a big topic; for more information about this powerful feature, see Chapter 7,
“Data Levels, Color Management, and ACES.
The Color Science quick menu
The Media Pool
The Media Pool contains all video clips, audio clips, graphics, and other media that you import
into your project. You can create bins with which to organize all of this media, to make it easier
to find what you need quickly. These bins are opened via the bin drop-down at the upper
left-hand corner.
Each piece of media you import, whether it’s video, audio, or graphics, appears as an individual
clip and can be selected, scrubbed for fast viewing, reorganized into bins, opened into the
Viewer for playback, or edited into a timeline using the edit buttons or via drag and drop.
The Media Pool in Icon view
Three buttons at the upper right of the Media Pool let you see your clips in different ways,
depending on what you need to accomplish.
