The Media Page
The Media page is the primary interface for clip import, media management, and clip
organization in DaVinci Resolve. It’s central to the way DaVinci Resolve works that the source
media used by a project is organized separately from the project data that you import and
manage in the Edit page. In this way, you can manage and update the clips used by timelines in
the current project with ease, switching between offline and online media, reorganizing clips,
and troubleshooting any problems that occur.
The Media page also contains much of the core functionality that will be used for on-set
workflows, and in the ingest, organizational, and sound-syncing steps of digital dailies
workflows. This chapter covers most of the functionality found in the Media page, including
functions in detail that are referenced throughout this manual.
The Media page is divided into six different areas, designed to make it easy to find, select, and
work with media in your project. Much of the functionality and most of the commands are found
within the contextual menus that appear when you right-click clips in the Library, File Browser,
or Media Pool.

The Media Storage Browser
The Media Storage browser shows a list of all volumes that are currently available to your
Resolve workstation. It’s used to locate media that you want to import manually into
your project.
